Roads and Highways: these constitute
the main arenas for the ITALGRIP® System.
ITALGRIP® can be used on both old and new surfaces
and on either asphalt or PCC pavements. It guarantees a significant
enhancement of performance parameters (such as HS, skid resistance and
drainage) to greatly improve road safety.
 |
|
Better road holding on both dry
or wet
pavements.
|
|
Reduces braking distance by 50% compared to a traditional
pavement surface
see
example
|
|
Greatly reduces the risk of hydroplaning
see
example
|
|
Better visibility
At night the ITALGRIP® System improves
visibility due to its reflective characteristics.
If it is raining the ITALGRIP® System
reduces the'"spray effect".
|
|
|
The ITALGRIP® System maintenance costs
when compared to traditional pavements.
|
|
|
It is more cost-effective compared to other anti-skid tratements.
|
|
|
ITALGRIP® is less costly to the tax
payers due to reduced car
accidents.
|
|
|
Increased structure life due to the waterproofing and UV
protection afforded by the ITALGRIP® System.
|
|
|
 |
|
accident reduction |
 |
|
road holding |
 |
The ITALGRIP® System increases the road holding
capability of the vehicle.
Using a car behavior simulation software the result shows a great
improvement in road holding on ITALGRIP®
surface, both for wet or dry conditions.
