particularly useful in areas that are most prone to ice such as steel Bridges which are highrisk zones Frost grip works by making the road surface rougher which helps to reduce the risk of skidding or aquaplaning Additionally the treated area requires much more water to accumulate before icing [Music] occurs all thanks to the irregular structure of the frost grip particles the coating uses Granite chips that range in size from 0. 3 to 4 mm to improve grip epoxy resin is is used as the adhesive component to ensure the coating stays in place the blue color of frost grip also serves as a visual reminder to drivers that they are on a particularly dangerous stretch of road meanwhile the experts at Alo effect specialize in installing railings for balconies and Terraces offering solutions that
