DESCRIPTION

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:

Min slip resistance value 34-51
Acceptable Value 51-70
Exceptional Value >70

 

Below are Resincoat's HB Epoxy Anti-Slip Floor Paint test results under normal conditions:

Product Result
Resincoat Anti-Slip Fine 58
Resincoat Anti-Slip Medium 66
Resincoat Anti-Slip Coarse 70

 

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

Fine: 0.2mm - 0.4mm

Medium: 0.4mm - 0.8mm

Coarse: 0.8mm - 1.2mm

Please note: during application, and particularly with fine and medium, if the paint is applied too thickly, then the particles of anti-slip sand won't protrude through the surface, and wont work effectively.

 

COVERAGE RATES

Please see below for coverage rates. If you are coating a large area and would like expert advice, please call our team who will be happy to assist you.

1kg: 3-4m²

2.5kg: 8-10m²

5kg: 17–20m²

10kg: 35-40m²

Please note: the above coverage rates are per coat, in most cases we advise 2 coats.

 

APPLICATION GUIDE

Preparation

Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat Anti-Slip Floor Paint. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet. 

Please note: Etch and Clean is only suitable for use on bare concrete.

 

Priming

For new concrete floors or floors in good condition, prime with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer

For dusty, old or weaker floors prime with Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer

For greasy floors with heavy oil residue clean thoroughly using a suitable degreaser scraping off any dust or dirt and then prime with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer

For wood floors you should consider use of Resincoat Wood Floor Paint

 

Application

We advise when applying this product the ambient temperature is at least 7°C.

1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.

2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.

3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.

4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).

5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this should take 12-24 hours.

6. If course anti-slip profile was purchased, the aggregate will have come separately. This must be added manually, typically by scattering by hand it onto a still-wet first coat of paint and then back-rolling the paint.

7. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic. Cars and heavy objects, however, should be left off the new coating for the first 48 hours and chemicals including water should not be introduced for the first 7 days (Full chemical cure).

 

PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, 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 up to 40 minutes. 

Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener

Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable

 

USEFUL INFORMATION

Roller sleeves should be used once per coat, two coats will require two roller sleeves.

This product is NOT UV stable therefore can discolour when exposed to regular sunlight. For areas with plenty of repeated sunlight, please coat with a coloured UVR coating such as Resincoat Chemical Resistant UVR Floor Coating for a UV stable finish.

This product should NOT be split. Taking smaller quantities from each tin, even if measured correctly, may cause issues with activating.

This product is NOT self levelling.
