An anti slip floor coating based on pedestrian grade Watco Grip-Master but using a rubber crumb instead of a hard aggregate. This gives a surface which is soft underfoot, less abrasive than most slip resistant coatings and has the effect of reducing noise.

• Cushioned slip resistant finish
• Applied as one ‘high build’ coat
• Suitable for pedestrian use inside and out
• Can be applied to concrete, tarmac, asphalt, wood and steel. (Not suitable for application to steps)
• Helps absorb sound, impact and vibration
• Uses recycled car tyres

An excellent alternative to gritted surfaces for areas used by children or other vulnerable people who may be likely to fall.

Surface Preparation
Watco Comfort Grip may be applied to concrete, stone, smooth metal, asphalt and wood. New concrete surfaces should be at least 1 month old, new asphalt at least 3 months old. Surfaces should be clean and dry. Remove loose and friable material using a wire brush or scarifying machine for larger areas. Sweep or vacuum to remove debris. Grease and oil patches should be removed mechanically or using Watco Bio D or similar degreasant. Damaged concrete surfaces can be patch repaired using Watco Concrex.
Watco Comfort Grip can be applied over existing paint but the paint must be well bonded to the substrate. Remove all poorly bonded paint and abrade any glossy well bonded paint to provide a key. Metal surfaces should be clean and dry. Galvanised metal should be primed with Watco Galvaprime or similar. Watco Comfort Grip is not suitable for aluminium or stainless steel. Do not apply to profiled metal surfaces such as chequer plate or any metal which flexes in service. Wood should be sanded to provide a clean, dry surface.
On new unpainted timber we recommend sealing the underside and edges with varnish (i.e. all surfaces except the surface to be coated with Watco Comfort Grip) to seal against damp. Asphalt and tarmac should be hosed down and allowed to dry. A wet vacuum may be useful to remove the cleaning water from the textured surface. Remove any grease or oil using Watco Bio D. Any ‘fatty’ bitumen build up on the surface should be removed mechanically.

Masking
Measure an area of 5m² and use masking tape to mark the area where a neat line is required.

Mixing
The epoxy resin and hardener are in ‘twin-pack’ tins. Separate the two tins by aligning the side seams and pulling apart. Empty the contents of the small tin into the larger tin, scraping around the inside of the tin to ensure all the contents are removed. Thoroughly mix the components for at least 2 or 3 minutes using a ‘wide bladed’ tool - a piece of wooden batten or flat bladed spatula is ideal. The mixed components must be used immediately. If left in the tin, the tin will become hot and the product quickly becomes unusable. Do not mix in the aggregate. The useable working life of the mixed components is 20 minutes maximum at 20ºC. This will reduce in warmer working conditions or if the mixed components are left in the tin.

Important Please ensure that the mixed components are applied within approximately 20 minutes of mixing. Temperatures above 20ºC may reduce this working time. Please ensure that only as much of the area is covered with the mixed components as can be reached to broadcast the aggregate. If access around the working area is restricted, the mixed components should be applied in stages to allow for application of the aggregate.
