Scoop: Korthals Group awarded BRL-K19143 certificate for wearing courses

We have known for a long time that our extremely strong wearing courses provide excellent work on steel, wood and concrete surfaces. The fact that our composite wearing courses now also officially comply with Kiwa assessment guidelines BRL K19143 is a wonderful sign of appreciation! The BRL certificate is in the name of Korthals Group and was awarded on 27 August. We are of course very pleased with this result.

HIM wearing courses comply with BRL certificate requirements

Strict requirements apply to wearing courses, in particular with regard to the adhesion of the system to the underlayer, but also to aspects such as the environment and road safety. Himgrip NT, the wearing course of HIM Products, meets all these requirements:

  • Free of solvents and PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons);
  • Traffic safe, the strong adhesion of the aggregate to the underlayment prevents the formation of stone rubble.
  • Resistant to weather influences, de-icing salt and heavy (freight) traffic.

In addition, Himgrip NT is subjected to a strict test regime in our own laboratory.

Wearing course for steel, concrete and wood

Because of this certification, Himgrip NT has now officially been found suitable as a wearing course for use on steel, concrete and wooden bridge decks, both for (heavy) traffic and pedestrians. For these substrates the following system is recommended:

  • Steel: Himgrip NT with Primer NT;
  • Concrete: Himgrip NT with Primer 31;
  • Wood: Himgrip NT (no primer).

The same type of scattering material can be used on all surfaces and product combinations, namely Mandurax and Guyana bauxite. However, it depends on the type of traffic which layer thickness is required for:

  • Slow traffic and pedestrians: Mandurax 0.25 – 1 mm;
  • Other traffic: Mandurax 3 – 5 mm and 1 – 3 mm / Guyana bauxite 3 – 5 mm.

Future proof with HIM

With Himgrip NT you have an extremely strong, wear-resistant, lightweight wearing course with anti-slip properties. This wearing course makes your surface future-proof, can be used for the heaviest traffic classes and is suitable for steel, concrete and wooden surfaces.
