Also referred to as anti-skid. Meets AS-2 and AS-3 anti-skid spec. This aggregate is commonly used as a traction aid for roadway surfaces. The Anti-Skid -1/4″ Rice consists of coarse, angular stones with excellent traction and skid resistance capabilities. From adverse weather to challenging terrain, the anti-skid aggregate can provide the friction needed to maneuver in those conditions.

Anti-skid stone is a crushed stone designed to create friction and prevent vehicles from skidding or slipping on a road surface. The aggregate acts as a traction aid, providing extra grip and stability in adverse terrain. The Anti-Skid -1/4″ Rice is the ideal solution for improving vehicle performance and safety through enhanced skid resistance.
This anti-skid aggregate is finely crushed and grounded to smaller stones with a top size of ¼ inch. The ¼ stone meets the anti-skid specifications of gravel AS2 and AS3.
Anti-skid aggregate is commonly used as a traction aid for roadway surfaces. It can be used on sidewalks, parking lots, driveways and roads to enhance traction during all types of weather and road conditions. Proper traction is required for a vehicle to start, stop or move in different directions. Plus, it decreases the risk of skidding, loss of control and potential accidents.
The aggregate carries characteristics required for skid resistance, such as a coarse texture and ¼ stone size. It is placed between a slippery surface and the vehicle’s wheels to increase friction and permit better moving and braking.
In addition to providing enhanced traction and skid resistance for various landscaping or construction purposes, Anti-Skid -1/4″ Rice can also be used for:

Do you need anti-skid aggregate for your next project? Read through our most commonly asked questions about it to help you make an informed decision for your build.
You need anti-skid aggregate when your project requires extra traction, like on roads, driveways, sidewalks, ramps or parking lots. Regular crushed stone is better for applications like structural bases, drainage or landscaping where traction isn’t necessary. Choose the material based on your application.
AS-2 and AS-3 are anti-skid aggregate specifications that set the requirements for things like stone size and gradation. These specifications help make sure the material provides the right texture and consistency for applications that need extra traction. Confirm that you’re buying an aggregate that matches the specifications you need before you purchase.
Anti-Skid -¼” Rice can reduce skidding risk by adding friction between a slippery surface and vehicle tires. Its coarse, angular pieces help vehicles move, stop and change direction more effectively in bad weather or on challenging road conditions. However, its effectiveness does depend on surface conditions, application rate, traffic and whether it’s been well-maintained.
Anti-Skid -¼” Rice crushed stone has a top size of ¼ inch. The aggregate is finely crushed and processed into small, coarse-textured pieces that meet AS-2 and AS-3 anti-skid specifications. Its size and angular shape make it suitable for traction applications on paved and unpaved surfaces.
Yes, you can use anti-skid aggregate on sidewalks, parking lots, driveways and roadways where extra traction is needed. Its coarse texture increases friction on slippery or sloped surfaces, helping both vehicles and pedestrians to stay more stable in adverse conditions.
