Rockpave Anti-Slip Finish

All external Rockpave resin bound surfacing systems should be installed with an ant-slip finish by the application of glass dust, during the installation process. 


The anti-slip finish should be provided in accordance with Standards Australia AS/NZS 4586:2004 and CSIRO HB197 (reproduced here in table 1.) 


This information should be used to assist specifiers and customers as to a suitable surface finish for any specific project. 


Table 2 is a guide for correct quantity of anti-slip glass dust to be applied per m to achieve a specific result. 

Glass dust should be carefully and consistently applied to all areas with allowance made for prevailing wind conditions to achieve a satisfactory result. 


Figure 1 is a typical example of a slip resistance test result for a Rockpave System tested in accordance with AS/NZS 4586 2004:Appendix A.
