High PSV calcined bauxite engineered for anti-skid and high friction road surfacing applications worldwide.
▸ High PSV calcined bauxite is a premium refractory-grade aggregate produced by calcining selected raw bauxite at temperatures above 1600°C. Its exceptional Polished Stone Value (PSV ≥70) and high resistance to abrasion make it the material of choice for high friction surfacing (HFS) on highways, bridge decks, airport runways, and other critical traffic areas.
▸ The angular particle shape and extreme hardness ensure long-lasting skid resistance, even under heavy traffic loads and harsh weather conditions.
▸ Widely specified by highway authorities and used in high friction surfacing systems across Europe, North America, and Asia, it significantly improves road safety and reduces accident rates.
▸ Selected raw bauxite → High-temperature calcination (≥1600°C) → Crushing → Precision screening → Final inspection & packaging
▸ From bauxite ore to finished sand, every stage is controlled to ensure consistent quality:
01 — Raw Material & Supply · Own mines, Al₂O₃ ≥ 65%
02 — Calcination Process · Rotary kiln at 1450–1550°C
03 — Processing & Grading · Crushing, screening & magnetic separation
04 — Testing & Delivery · Full lab testing & global packaging
▸ Our high PSV calcined bauxite delivers critical performance advantages for high friction surfacing:
▸Exceptional Skid Resistance — polished stone value (PSV) of 70 minimum provides long-lasting anti-skid performance, far exceeding conventional aggregates.
▸Low Aggregate Abrasion Value — AAV of 10 maximum ensures minimal wear under heavy traffic, maintaining surface friction for years.
▸High Hardness (7.5-9.0 Mohs) — angular grains resist polishing and retain micro-texture even under sustained traffic.
▸Proven Worldwide — specified by highway authorities and used in high friction surfacing systems across Europe, North America, and Asia.
▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO content
▸ PSV Testing — polished stone value tested in accordance with BS EN 1097-8 standards
▸ AAV Testing — aggregate abrasion value per BS EN 1097-8 to ensure maximum wear resistance
▸ Particle Size Distribution — sieve analysis for accurate 0-1mm, 1-3mm, and 3-5mm grading
▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore to final shipment
▸ High PSV 70+ — consistently exceeds the minimum requirement for high friction surfacing specifications worldwide.
▸ Low AAV 10 Max — exceptional abrasion resistance ensures long service life under heavy traffic conditions.
▸ Angular Particle Shape — provides excellent mechanical interlock with resin binders for durable surface systems.
▸ Proven Performance — trusted by highway authorities and contractors for critical safety applications globally.
▸ Consistent Quality — batch-to-batch uniformity ensures predictable application results and reliable friction performance.
▸ Highway anti-skid surfaces and high friction treatments
