Skid resistance on a pavement in contact with vehicle tyres is one of the fundamental elements of safety for both motorists and urban pedestrians.
This skid-resistance determines roadholding performance and braking distance when approaching an obstacle.
Skid resistance must therefore be maximised in all cases, especially when the pavement is wet.
Eurovia has developed Viagrip®, which has very high skid resistance properties and thus provides exceptional traffic safety. When applied to accident-prone areas (dangerous bends, approaches to schools and pedestrian crossings, etc.) where skid resistance and braking distance are of vital importance, Viagrip® improves safety for everyone.
