Product Information

Priming –Standard: one coat is generally sufficient. On very porous or open textured surfaces, two coats may be required. The first coat will act as a ‘priming coat’ and may be diluted with up to 10% water to assist with application. New concrete – as a guide, new concrete should be left for four weeks to dry in the summer and six in the winter. The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Clean and thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating. You may find that there are not enough colour options when choosing from the above products. Never fear, we have the answer! PPG Sigmacover 400 Powerfloated or very smooth surfaces– Watco Powerfloat Primershould be used on very smooth or power floated surfaces.

Bare Concrete– remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Remove Etch & Clean by thoroughly rinsing with clean water and allow surface to dry. If residual damp remains this is acceptable since Safety Coat is breathable. In Yellow, Red, Grey and More Provides a safer slip-resistant coating for both residential and commercial environments. New Concrete– as a guide, new concrete should be left for four weeks to dry in the summer and six in the winter. The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Cleanand thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating. All grades now carry CE Mark EN 1504-2 and have impressive test results for abrasion, scratch and impact resistance, as well as for adhesion, hardness and flexibility. All tests have been undertaken to ISO standard where applicable, and demonstrated this ‘Best Ever Formulation’ to be four times more scratch resistant than previously, twice as hard wearing and with 50% improved adhesion. Recommended areas of use Whether you are refurbishing your garage at home, refreshing the floor of a public or industrial space, slip-resistant floor paint is the safest and most reliable option. Our floor paint is available in a range of colours, whether you are looking for neutral white and grey, or a brighter option such as yellow or red. Anti-slip paint is easy to clean and maintain, and its hard-wearing polyurethane coating is resistant to scratches and other damage from hard impacts, or chemicals.These durable coatings can provide an aesthetically rich finish, as well as meeting health and safety requirements, in a wide collection of colours for improved visibility for:

Centrecoat Anti Slip Additive for Paint can also be added to Rustoleum Supergrip 7100 NS (which we discussed earlier), to add additional grip. What If Paint Is Not An Option? Protecta-kote Rubber Anti Slip paint contains rubber anti-slip granules, giving you an attractive tough textured appearance which is flexible, non abrasive and easy to clean. It is ideal for use on metal, concrete and fibreglass. As with Supergrip 7100NS, Protecta-Kote is suitable for both interior and exterior use. Please bear in mind that smooth or shiny surfaces such as marble, glazed tiles, or aluminium will require a primer. Protecta-kote Clear Primer should be applied prior to the application of the paint on these surfaces, to ensure improved adhesion.New Concrete– new concrete should be left for four weeks to dry in the summer and six in the winter. The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Clean and thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating. New asphalt & tarmac – should be sound and at least 3 months old. If any residual oils remain, the surface should be washed using Watco Concroff.

Health and safety is of vital importance, whether in the workplace or at home. It is important that you take the appropriate steps to highlight any dangers and therefore help to prevent accidents such as slips and falls. Metal – remove any dust and flaking material by disc grinding or wire brushing. Apply the coating immediately after preparation to the clean metal surface. Grease or oil can be removed using Watco Bio D. Allow the metal to dry before coating. Painting may not always be an option, or simply not the preferred method for creating an anti slip area. Don’t panic, there are other options available! Promain have a wide range of Anti Slip GRP Products to help. Bare Concrete– remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Flush with clean water and allow surface to dry. For the removal of heavier deposits of oil and grease we recommend Watco Concroff, again, flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry.Although Protecta-kote Rubber Anti Slip paint is suitable for exterior use, depending on the conditions, you may want to consider Protecta-kote Rubber Anti Slip UVR. With all the benefits of regular Protecta-kote, the UVR version provides an improved weatherproof finish, protecting against heat and salt water. This makes it the ideal Anti Slip Yellow Paint for use on boats, emergency exits external metal steps, and even helicopter pads! So if you work in emergency services or just have your own private helicopter (we can all dream!) then the UVR version could be just the thing you need. As an added extra Protecta-kote UVR is available in a range of 11 different colours – including anti slip yellow! This is an ideal safety paint for steps. Can You Turn A Standard Floor Paint Into An Anti Slip Version? As with Sigmacover 400, the aggregate can be added to the paint or hand cast over the applied coating. Priming– is not usually required, but for very porous high suction surfaces, such as sand and cement screed, use Watco 4 Hour Epoxy Primer. Concrete should be sufficiently porous to allow the paint to penetrate, so very smooth or power floated concrete is unsuitable unless first primed with Watco Powerfloat Primer. If the paint is to be applied to coated floors (e.g. epoxy floors), we recommend you carry out a compatibility test to determine drying time and adhesion of the paint. Heavy duty – priming is not usually required, but for open textured, or highly porous high suction surfaces, such as sand and cement screed, use Watco 4 Hour Epoxy Primer to ensure a uniform finish and to prevent air entrapment bubbles.

We hope this article has helped to explain some of the yellow safety paint options available when looking for Anti Slip options. Bare concrete – remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Flush with clean water and allow surface to dry. For the removal of heavier deposits of oil and grease we recommend Watco Concroff, again, flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry.

Case studies

Here we are in the middle of another heatwave in the UK, and frosty days and nights are probably the last thing on your mind! But as we know, the Summers do not tend to last that long here. It won’t be long before the heating’s on again and everyone’s thinking about Christmas (too soon to mention it?!). With this in mind, now is a good time to plan ahead with anti slip yellow paint. Anti Slip Floor Paint makes a textured surface for interior floors. For use on large floor spaces that experienceelevated levels of public use, such as factories, hospitals and stations, it produces a rough, textured surface that comes already mixed. It gives an anti-skid surface and has excellent grip properties for both foot and light vehicle use. This extremely tough and durable single-component synthetic resin based paint is for interior use where Anti-slip properties are required.
