About Spectrabind Gold

Spectrabind Gold is our aromatic polyurethane binder system, offering excellent mechanical performance at an economical price point. Ideal for applications where UV stability is not the primary concern — such as covered areas, shaded installations, or where darker aggregates naturally mask any colour change.

Mixed at a 2:1 ratio (Resin to Hardener) by weight, the Gold system is more reactive than Spectrabind Clear, which means installers should take particular care with moisture and temperature management during application. The resin is supplied in white pails and the hardener in light blue pails.

Compatible with anti-slip additives and sealer coats, Spectrabind Gold delivers excellent bond strength and durability for driveways, pathways, and decorative surfaces. Manufactured at our ISO 9001 certified facility in Wollaston, Northamptonshire.
