TO DECELERATE A VEHICLE THE MOST ADVANCED BRAKING SYSTEMS AND HIGHEST QUALITY TYRES DEPEND ON FRICTION AVAILABILITY OF THE SURFACE

In 1968 Klaruw was already specialising in retexturing of polished aggregate surfaces.  This photo shows the first retexturing machine build by Klaruw and used for retexturing the racing track "Zandvoort" in the Netherlands.

High stresses caused by braking, turning and acceleration contribute towards race track aggregate polishing and subsequent skid resistance deficiencies. Klaruw controlled retexturing keeps these areas within specification, providing a skid resistant safer racing surface.

Klaruw controlled retexturing will substantially reduce the risk of wet-skid crashes and associated casualties on any aggregate surface. Known  racetrack crash 'hot spots' have been treated with Klaruw retexturing with a noticeable reduction in incidents involving wet weather skidding

What is Eurogrip?

Eurogrip, improves the safety of European roads, runways and racetracks. To achieve this goal they offer re-texturing services to improve friction of slippery surfaces.

What means this warning sign?

Many European countries place warning signs to warn the drivers for slippery roads. Eurogrip offers solutions to make these signs superfluous. Eurogrip has re-texturing systems to improve the friction on roads, runways and racetracks. So warning signs can be removed in the future. The cross on this sign is meant to symbolise that slippery surfaces can be avoided.

On a racetrack we want some action, don’t we?

Yes of course, a racing driver will always try to get to the limits. They can do so because they have some safety protection systems like a helmet, a racing suit, a roll bar and a hans system. A normal motorist hasn’t got this protection, so they are much more vulnerable. Re-texturing of slippery roads improves the drivers safety enormously!.

Why should we re-texture a racetrack?

Every racing driver is racing on the same asphalt, but when Eurogrip would  re-texture or clean the racetrack, skid resistance would improve a lot, the advantages are obvious;

a) lap times will improve

b) it will be easier to overtake, because there is more grip on the whole width of the track. Spectators will see more overtaking actions.

c) less skidding related accidents.
