Overview of anti skid aggregates
Anti-skid aggregates, also known as friction aggregates or anti-skid materials, are substances added to road marking surfaces to improve traction and reduce the risk of slipping, especially in wet or icy conditions. We offer a variety of anti-skid aggregates, including ceramic aggregates and glass sand aggregates. Additionally, we can mix aggregates with our glass beads as per customer given ratio, and supply the mixture to meet our customers’ needs.

Benefits of Anti Skid Aggregates
Anti skid aggregates offer significant advantages in enhancing road safety and performance:
Advantages
1. Improved Traction:
Enhances friction between tires and road surfaces, reducing the risk of skidding, especially in wet or icy conditions.
2. Enhanced Durability:
Provides long-lasting skid resistance, maintaining effectiveness over extended periods.
3. Cost-Effective Solution:
Reduces maintenance costs by minimizing the frequency of resurfacing and repairs.
4. Versatility:
Applicable across various road types including highways, rural roads, and urban streets.
5. Environmental Compatibility:
Natural mineral composition ensures minimal environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.
Features of Anti Skid Aggregates
Anti skid aggregates are characterized by their unique features that contribute to their effectiveness and reliability:
- High Friction Coefficient: Provides superior grip on road surfaces, ensuring vehicle stability.
- Uniform Particle Size Distribution: Consistent performance across different application scenarios.
- Resistance to Polishing: Maintains rough surface texture for optimal skid resistance.
- Easy Application: Compatible with standard road surfacing methods, facilitating seamless integration.
Applications of Anti Skid Aggregates
