Anti Slip Coatings FAQ

Question 1

What level of slip resistance can anti-slip coatings provide?

Accepted Answer

Our anti-slip coatings can achieve various levels of slip resistance from R9 to R13 classifications, &COF (Coefficient of Friction) values from 0.6 to 1.2+ depending on the system used. We select the appropriate level based on your specific safety requirements, foot traffic, &environmental conditions.

Question 2

How do anti-slip coatings perform in wet conditions?

Accepted Answer

Our wet-condition anti-slip systems are specifically designed to maintain traction when wet. Using specialized aggregates and textured profiles, these coatings actually improve grip in wet conditions compared to smooth surfaces, making them ideal for pool areas, commercial kitchens, &exterior walkways.

Question 3

Can anti-slip coatings be applied to existing surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our anti-slip systems can be applied over existing concrete, metal, wood, &previously coated surfaces. We evaluate the existing substrate for compatibility and adhesion, performing necessary surface preparation including cleaning, etching, or mechanical preparation for optimal performance.

Question 4

How do you maintain and clean anti-slip surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Anti-slip surfaces require regular cleaning to prevent debris buildup that can reduce effectiveness. We recommend daily sweeping/mopping with appropriate cleaners, periodic deep cleaning with pressure washing, &annual professional inspection. Proper maintenance ensures continued slip resistance performance.

Question 5

What's the difference between broadcast aggregate and molded texture systems?

Accepted Answer

Broadcast aggregate systems use sand, aluminum oxide, or specialized particles distributed in wet coatings for customizable texture levels. Molded texture systems create consistent patterns through application techniques. We recommend broadcast for high-traffic areas and molded for decorative applications.

Question 6

Are anti-slip coatings suitable for food service environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer FDA-compliant anti-slip systems specifically designed for food service areas. These systems resist grease, acids, &cleaning chemicals while providing excellent slip resistance in wet conditions. They're easy to sanitize and meet health department requirements for commercial kitchens.
