Traffic topping is a protective wear-resistant layer applied to concrete to handle vehicular or foot traffic , especially in high use or high heavy duty environments like parking garages , loading docks , industrial floors , and ramps .
Traffic topping refers to a durable overlay system- typically resin-based ( epoxy, polyurethane , or cementitious surfaces .
. Abrasion resistance
. Chemical resistance
. Load-bearing capacity
. Weather resistance
It protect concrete from erosion , cracking and contamination .
Typical Applications
. Multi-level parking structure
. Industrial floors
. Loading docks
. Ramps and drive lanes
System Components
1. Surface Prep – Mechanical abrasion or Sot blasting
2. Primer – Ensure adhesion to concrete
3. Base Coat – Structural body of the system
4. Aggregate Broadcast
5. Topcoat / sealer- Protects from UV , chemicals , and abrasion
Benefits
. Long-term durability under heavy traffic
. Improve safety ( slip resistance )
. Reduce maintenance and downtime
. Moisture and chemical resistance
Installation : Requires skilled installation
