Resincoat Anti Slip Floor Paint

What is anti slip floor paint?

Our Anti Slip Floor Paint is a high-build, 100% solids epoxy floor coating with a graded silica sand additive. When you choose a Resincoat High Build Floor Paint you're choosing a product that has been thoroughly tested and revised in our lab to ensure the highest quality. The formula we have developed has become widely popular in the UK due to it's thickness and durability. Many other floor paints on the market are water based or cut with solvents to extend their coverage, this is bad practice and causes paint to flake or wear after a few months. With Resincoat High Build Epoxy floor paint you're guaranteed a quality finish that will last.

For areas where safety of staff and the public is paramount, this coating is the perfect solution. We offer three grades of sand blend to choose from to suit your needs. These are:

• Anti Slip Fine: A fine scatter of silica sand throughout the coating designed to add non-slip properties whilst maintaining as much of a smooth, glossy finish as possible.
• Anti Slip Medium: A little more heavy duty than fine, but not quite as much as coarse. This blend produces a textured finish that provides enough grip to prevent most accidents, even in wet conditions.
• Anti Slip Coarse: Our highest grade of anti-slip coating, this blend offers exceptional protection in dry conditions and will resist a majority of slips in wet conditions. Our coarse finish will produce a more textured/graded finish, so this is often used in areas where safety is key.

Resistant to trips, slips and falls

Our premier High Build Epoxy Anti-Slip Floor Paint is specifically formulated to meet and in many cases exceed guidelines set about by the Health and Safety Executive in the UK. Those guidelines state that floors should meet the following slip resistance ratings under both WET and DRY conditions when tested using Cooper pendulum testing equipment:

Below are Resincoat's HB Epoxy Anti-Slip Floor Paint test results under both wet and dry conditions:

The thickness and therefore effectiveness of our Anti Slip coatings are:

Fine: 200 - 300 microns

Medium: 300 - 400 microns

Coarse: 500 - 700 microns

Given that 1,000 microns = circa 1mm

For best results you should also consider using a primer. We recommend:

1. Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer for new concrete.
2. Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer for Dusty Floors.
3. Resincoat Stabalising Primer for weak concrete floors.
4. Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer if oil residue is present in the concrete floor.

*Please note for both fine & medium anti slip profiles the anti slip additive is already pre-mixed in part A.

 1. Mix parts A & B together by using a paddle attachment to an electric drill. (For coarse anti slip your part C anti-slip additive, will be added later)

2. Continue to mix until a uniform colour is achieved and the curing agent is fully dispersed throughout the mixture

3. Once mixed and therefore chemically activated, the product will have a pot life of around 20 minutes at 20°C.

4. Begin to roll out the coating in an even, consistent method and scatter in Part C as you go

5. Be sure to back-roll with the wet roller as your sand is scattered to fully encapsulate it inside the epoxy resin formula

6. Once dried you may wish to add a top-coat using the same method. If coating a larger area, you may wish to get the help of a second pair of hands.

7. If you are using a second coat, coat 2 should be applied after a minimum of 14 hours and before a maximum of 24 hours.

Do not split the product. Taking smaller quantities from each tin, even if measured correctly, may cause issues with activating. The resin formula is chemically manufactured to work efficiently and effectively based on the exact amounts supplied in full tins for parts A & B.

PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for 40 minutes. 

• This product is NOT UV stable therefore will discolour when exposed to sunlight. Please coat with Resincoat UVR coating for a UV stable finish.
• This product can NOT be split. Taking smaller quantities from each tin, even if measured correctly, may cause issues with activating. The resin formula is chemically manufactured to work efficiently and effectively based on the exact amounts supplied in full tins for parts A & B
• This product is NOT self levelling.
