OBS 60

Shepherd and Sons Contracting ltd

OBS 60

Hot applied, and the higher friction grade of the two. The number is a friction grade: it refers to the polished stone value of the aggregate and the skid resistance value the band is designed to reach in service. OBS 60 therefore carries a harder, more polish-resistant aggregate than OBS 45, rather than simply more of it. We run it through a separate boiler, the same unit we use for high performance joint sealing. Specified where a higher skid resistance is required: runways, high-speed roads and safety-critical surfaces.

Key benefits:

  • Hot applied: we run it through a separate boiler, the same unit as High Performance Joint Sealing
  • Harder, more polish-resistant aggregate for an elevated skid resistance
  • Specified for runways, high-speed roads, and safety-critical surfaces
  • Chosen where the specification calls for a higher skid resistance
  • Waterproof seal: stops water ingress at crack or joint
  • Longer service life in high-wear environments

Applications: Runways, high-speed surfaces, areas requiring elevated friction ratings.
