Highway Applications
A range of Bauxites, Granites, Basalts and Slags are available invarious colours and grades, providing an extensive selection of highPSV products suited to, high friction anti-skid surfacing, trafficcalming and lane demarcation schemes. Our products are alsoused within Bridge Jointing repairs where a larger grade of chippingwith high strength and durability values are required.
Anti-Slip Surfacing
Many footbridges, ramps, walkways, wooden decking and treadson exterior steps now include areas of fine aggregate granules to combat the risk of slipping. Increasingly more and more of ourhard wearing products are being applied to these types of surfacesto provide grip and minimise the risk of slip hazard.
White Lining
As significant importers of pure white dolomite, we can offer a selection of fine grade powders, sands and granules for the white lining industry, all of which are subject to stringent testing to ensure brightness values comply with required specifications.
Resin Flooring & Stone Carpets
A selection of closely sized quartz granules and specialist sandsare utilised in resin flooring for both internal and externalapplications, where a seamless hard wearing finish is required.Resin flooring is becoming increasingly popular in both industrialand commercial markets, due to its hygienic, slip-resistant anddecorative finish, available in a large choice of colours.
Terrazzo
Our products are used with seamless, resin-based andcementitious in-situ terrazzo systems, and cement based terrazzotiles, to provide a polished decorative aggregate finish, ideallysuited to large scale commercial projects, public amenity areas orretail showrooms.
Car Park Deck Waterproofing Systems
We supply a range of specialist sands and fillers for use within resinsystems to provide a waterproof and slip-resistant finish for roofingand car park deck systems.
Dry Dashing
A variety of our products are supplied to produce a highlydecorative, durable, exposed textured finish for polymer resin clad panels for the modular building industry.
Specialist Concrete
A selection of dried gravels, granites and finely graded sands areutilised in the production of specialist cementitious or polymerbased blends. Products are chosen for both their aesthetic qualitiesto add colour and texture, but also to improve physicalcharacteristics of the blend, such as strength and ease of flow.White Dolomite is used in the production of both architectural caststone and kerbs or tunnel linings where increased light reflectanceis required to improve traffic safety.
White Renders, Mortars & Paint
White Dolomite granules and powders can be used in theproduction of white cement based renders to provide either a cleanwhite render or for a through coloured render.
Bespoke Contract Drying
We undertake various contract drying, blendingand screening specific to customers’ bespokeproduct requirements. Please contact a memberof our sales team for further information.

Suitability NoteSome of the gravel and shingles supplied mayoccasionally contain very minor concentrations of ironminerals, which upon weathering may result in areas ofrust staining. These iron minerals occur naturally withinthe gravel deposits, and Long Rake Spar cannot be heldresponsible for any loss or damage suffered as a result of rust staining. By way of guidance to users of ourproducts we have included the risk of iron staining (RIS) assessment on our range of gravels and shingles. This guide is purely a subjective assessment, based onour own experience with these products and may besubject to change as our database expands. The scale is defined as follows:* No likelihood of any rust staining** No previous recorded instances of rust staining
within this product*** Potential for rust staining within this rock type
with recorded instances.
Performance IndexPerformance Index
PSV = Polished Stone ValueThe resistance of an aggregate to polishing and therefore a measure of skid resistance. PSV should not be viewed in isolationas aggregates with a high PSV may be likely to abrade easily (high AAV). PSV values in excess of 58 are generally acceptable for highway wearing courses.
SRV = Skid Resistance ValueA measure of the skid resistance of aggregate within the texture of a system. The greater the value the higher the skid resistance.
AAV = Aggregate Abrasion ValueThe resistance of an aggregate to abrasion. The lower the AAV, the more resistant the aggregate is to wearing. Values of less than16 are acceptable for highway wearing courses.
AIV = Aggregate Impact ValueThe resistance of an aggregate to impact stress produced from a moving vehicle. Values of less than 20 are acceptable for highwaywearing courses.
ACV = Aggregate Crushing ValueThe resistance of an aggregate to crushing. The lower the ACV, the more resistant the aggregate is to crushing.
LA = Los Angeles CoefficientThe resistance to fragmentation is a measure of the toughness of an aggregate and is viewed as a representative measure of both degradation and crushing stress values. Values of less than 30 are acceptable for highway wearing courses.
Product ConformityAll images displayed in this product brochure are displayed wet, tosimulate their appearance when used in resin. Please note that whilstevery care is taken to provide an exact indication of the colours ofour products, these aggregates are naturally found products whichmay be subject to changes in appearance, colour and sizebetween process batches. It is therefore strongly recommended torequest a product sample prior to any work being undertaken.
PackagingWe supply an extensive range of our products in various bag weightsto assist with the formulation of composite batches and to meet thedemands of the varying resin systems. Our products are alsoavailable in bulk bags or tanker loads, subject to prior arrangement.
Technical Data SheetsWe supply full technicaldata, including grading,physical and chemicalanalysis on our fullproduct range whichcan be downloadeddirectly from ourwebsite or requestedvia a member of oursales team.

Bound Resin SystemsThe main characteristic of a resin bound system is theuniform, smoothed flat appearance of the finished surface. It provides a low maintenance surface that is porous/semiporous and hard wearing yet flexible and resistant tocracking. The system is applied by mixing the resin and aggregate together to form one combined blend whichis then applied directly onto a hard wearing surface where it is trowelled flat to provide a smooth and uniform finishedsurface. Any of our products can be incorporated into thistype of system, with most forming part of a more intricateblend, designed by customers wishing to offer a moreunique choice of colours and textures. Aggregates with a suitability value of 1 can only be incorporated within abound system for areas of foot traffic and prudently theseproducts should be mixed with harder wearing aggregatesto increase the overall performance of the system. ResinBound Systems are recognised as being SUDS compliantand this resin system is also adapted for free draining TreePit Schemes where a larger grade of aggregate is used.
Bonded Resin SystemsA bonded system, where the aggregate is scattered directlyonto a top surface of resin, is designed to simulate theappearance of loose gravel with a more rustic texturedfinish. A low maintenance, hard wearing surface is achieved,however the system is laid much more thinly with the top layer of aggregate exposed and only part of the stone bonded within the resin. It is therefore moreimportant to select an aggregate with sufficient wearingproperties for each specific application, particularly in areaswhich may be subjected to vehicular traffic. Please refer to our suitability guide with products requiring a value of 2 or above for this type of system. Resin Bonded Systemsare not SUDS compliant.
