Special anti-slip rough-effect coating for metal, fibreglass, composites and wood. System comprising two air-drying products, with a wide range of custom colours and effects

Colours

Can be produced in any colour from international colour charts or matched to a sample.

Uses

Used for years on large and small vessels for coating bridges and stairs, to reduce the risk of slipping on wet surfaces.

The adjustable level of roughness makes it suitable even for engine and equipment rooms, offering good resistance to foot traffic, even when footwear worn.

Main features

• Great sun and salt spray resistance
• Impermeable to water and chemicals
• Excellent corrosion inhibitor for metal and very wear resistant

Adjustable rough effect, from gently rounded for bare feet to very rough for applications in equipment areas.

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

• Metal: when dealing with commercial steel and aluminium, which do not have a smooth, reflective finish, give the surface a good clean to remove traces of dust, dirt and grease. When treating more difficult metals that have a shinier surface, it’s best to prepare the surface by abrasive blasting, sanding or brushing to promote adhesion.
• Fibreglass and composites: correct cleaning of the surface is usually enough to promote optimum adhesion.
• Nonetheless, if surfaces are too shiny, it’s best to scuff them by abrasive blasting, sanding or brushing.
• Wood: the primer adheres perfectly to the more common specific wood pretreatments.

Application

Both products are applied by spraying to achieve an even thickness and anti-slip effect. The primer serves as an adhesion promoter and can be overcoated easily with the topcoat once dry.

Apply with normal airmix or airless equipment, using nozzles between 1.5 mm and 2.2 mm in diameter and with air pressure set to 3-4 bar.

To achieve a nice even finish, apply several blended coats by cross spraying. The system’s final thickness is in the range from 60 to 150 microns.
