PLASTILINE® MMA Cold Plastic Cycle Grip
PLASTILINE® MMA Cold Plastic Cycle Grip is a two-component, 100% solids MMA anti-skid surfacing engineered specifically for cycle lanes and shared-use paths. Factory-pigmented to the specified RAL Traffic Colour and pre-blended with reflective crushed glass and hard silica aggregate, it combines measurable wet-weather grip with rider comfort and enhanced night-time visibility.
Available in 5Lt & 20Lt
Features & Benefits
- Engineered specifically for cyclists
The medium-grade aggregate profile balances wet-weather grip with rider comfort. - Built-in anti-skid aggregate
Factory pre-blended with PLASTILINE® Cycle Grit Blend comprising reflective crushed glass and hard silica aggregate in the 600–1200 µm range. - Initial SRV ≥60 BPN
Provides measurable wet-weather skid resistance on the finished surface, tested according to TMH1 B2 / EN 13036-4 pendulum methodology. - Enhanced night-time visibility
Integral reflective crushed glass improves cycle-lane visibility under vehicle headlights and street lighting. - Factory pre-pigmented
Supplied in the specified RAL Traffic Colour, eliminating routine on-site pigmentation. - Factory pre-aggregated
No separate on-site aggregate broadcast is required for the standard Cycle Grip system. - 100% solids
Solvent-free formulation with no shrinkage caused by solvent loss during curing. - Ultra-low VOC
Mixed VOC content of 1.9 g/L, below the stated zero-VOC threshold of 5 g/L. - Rapid curing
Hardens in approximately 30 minutes and is trafficable within approximately one hour under the stated conditions. - Long service life
5–10+ years on high-traffic surfaces. - UV stable
Colourfast pigmentation helps retain colour during exterior exposure. - Permanently elastic
Accommodates substrate movement without cracking. - Cold-weather application
Can cure at ambient temperatures down to 10°C. - Bitumen compatible
Designed to resist bleed-through on suitable asphalt substrates. - Hydrophobic surface
Helps reduce dirt retention and supports easier maintenance. - Anti-Blackening compatible
An optional PLASTILINE® MMA Anti-Blackening topcoat can further reduce dirt pickup, tyre-rubber contamination and bitumen staining.
Intended Uses
PLASTILINE® MMA Cold Plastic Cycle Grip is specifically designed for coloured cycle-lane and shared-use surfacing where enhanced grip, visibility and durability are required.
Unlike a standard coloured MMA area marking, Cycle Grip incorporates its anti-skid and reflective aggregate directly into the factory-prepared Component A. This creates a single-layer, pre-mixed surfacing system with a balanced grip profile specifically developed around the requirements of cyclists.
The system is particularly suited to cycle infrastructure where coloured surfacing is used to identify priority areas, distinguish cycle routes from surrounding traffic surfaces and improve visibility in low-light environments.
Typical Applications:
- Dedicated urban cycle lanes
- Suburban cycle lanes
- Rural cycle lanes
- Separated bicycle paths
- Class 1 trail networks
- Shared pedestrian and cyclist paths
- BRT corridors with bicycle shoulders
- School zones with cycle priority
- Continuous coloured cycle surfacing
- Coloured cycle-priority areas
- Cycle routes requiring wet-weather grip
- Cycle routes requiring enhanced night-time visibility
- Routes illuminated by street lighting
- Transport infrastructure incorporating dedicated cycling facilities
