The Addastone resin bonded surfacing system provides an attractive, hard wearing, low maintenance surface by bonding or fixing loose gravel aggregates to concrete, asphalt, wood or metal. Aggregates bonded with resin to a surface give the appearance of loose gravel without the many maintenance problems. A wide range of natural and recycled aggregates are available, making it ideal for heritage sites, landscaping schemes, parks, paths, driveways, roads and visitor attractions. A real alternative to block paving, tarmac, and concrete finishes.
Major Benefits
• Aesthetically pleasing – decorative natural appearance.
• Durable – hard wearing and resilient.
• Fixed – does not move, migrate, or wash away.
•Low maintenance – requires only occasional sweeping and or pressure washing.
• Anti-slip – textured aggregates provide a good anti skid surface.
• Apply to asphalt, concrete, timber and steel surfaces.

Life Expectancy
Resin bonded gravel surfaces are very resilient. However life spans will depend on usage and choices of aggregate. Typical examples of expected life are as follows:
• Footpaths using a 2-5mm Brittany Bronze: 8-15 Years
• Domestic Drive using a 1-3mm Chinese Bauxite: 8-15 Years
• Car Parks using a 1-3mm Guyanan Bauxite: 5-10 Years
• Roads using 1-3mm Chinese Bauxite 5-8 Years

General Cleaning
Oil, dirt or other common stains should be removed from resin bonded aggregate surfaces by applying a suitable household detergent or similar degreaser.
Resin bonded gravel driveways, paths or paved areas should be swept occasionally to remove loose stones, they can also be cleaned using pressure washers to remove dirt and detritus.
To protect surfaces from staining and to aid cleaning and removal of chewing gum a coat of Addastone Surface Protector should be applied.

Maintenance
Newly treated resin bonded gravel surfaces must be swept to remove excess aggregate as soon as possible using a mechanical road sweeper* or by hand. A further sweep should be carried out after 1 – 3 months to remove remaining loose stones. A visual examination should be carried out to check that no or very little aggregate is left as this could result in the bonded aggregate splitting and working out of the resin. This could negate on any guarantees agreed with the Addastone installer. Addastone surfaces are resistant to acid and alkali. However some staining may occur.
*Mechanical sweepers using metal bristles must not be used.
