Calcined Refractory bauxite is widely used as an anti-skid aggregate on roads, pedestrian walkways, bridges and other areas where people or vehicles are likely to slip or skid. When applied with a binder the bauxite provides a surface which is highly resistant to polishing and wear.

In particular bauxite is used on the approach to pedestrian crossings, traffic signals, roundabouts and junctions where severe braking is required

In addition to the standard bauxites DSF sell a range of coloured materials which offer a highly visible alternative to the natural colour. These can be used for cycle tracks, bus lanes and demarcation. Colours available include Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Oxide Red and Jade.

The calcined refractory bauxites that we supply are naturally occuring and there will be some variation in colour. Samples are available on request of all these materials so that the suitability of any particular material can be assessed by the end user.
