SUDS Bond Technical Specifications
SUDS Bond is composed of black rubber granules, coloured aggregate and a polyurethane binder which offer a surface with extra grip and toughness.
Sub base:
Concrete or tarmac – Thickness – 25mm
Well compacted stone -Thickness – 35mm

SUDS Bond is hand laid by skilled installers and the materials are mixed together on site. The installation occurs in one visit, once laid the area needs to be protected until fully cured (6-24 hours weather dependent).
Once installed and fully cured the surface is considered inert and non-toxic. SUDS Bond uses large quantities of recycled rubber and therefore means it offers excellent environmental credentials.
