SafeLane - How It Works

SafeLane™ Overlay is a new technology unlike anything now being used.  Its patented combination of epoxy and aggregate acts like a rigid sponge, storing deicing chemicals inside and automatically releasing them as snow and ice conditions develop.
The SafeLane™ overlay surfacing system works as follows:-

• Prior to the winters first weather event i.e. frost or snow common de-icer  (Sodium Chloride) is applied to the SafeLane™ surfacing, by normal application measures
  
  
• The unique aggregate in SafeLane™  absorbs the de-icing chemical like a reservoir until the next weather event
  
  
• When weather conditions dictate, the aggregate proactively releases the de-icing chemical before ice or frost can form
  
  
• SafeLane™ effectively lowers the freezing point of the road surface and never gives ice or frost the opportunity to form. It also effectively "de-bonds" any snow/packed snow that forms on the road surface
  
  
• The stored de-icing chemical in the aggregate has been shown to be effective through multiple weather events, before it needs replenishing
