with Safety Grip
Watco Safety Grip is a heavy duty, coarse textured, chemical resistant, anti slip, two pack epoxy resin coating designed to provide a safe surface both indoors and outdoors. A single high build coat of Safety Grip helps reduce the risk of slips and falls throughout the workplace, particularly in wet or oily areas. The coating has been rigorously tested for slip resistance, abrasion, scratch and impact resistance, adhesion, and hardness. It also provides excellent chemical resistance and carries an A+ VOC emissions rating, ensuring a low level of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Curing time is approximately 24 hours at 20°C. Available in both Cold Cure and Flex formulations.
Ensure that the substrate is free from dust and dirt.
If the concrete is new or bare, remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean.
Remove the two inner tins from the tall outer tin. Individually stir the contents of the resin and curing agent thoroughly using a Watco Mixing Blade. Scrape around the inside of the tins to remove any residue.
Pour the mixed components into the larger outer tin and stir thoroughly until uniform in colour. You can then pour the formulation into a shallow Roller Tray ready for application.
Use a Paint Brush for cutting in around the edges. Apply the coating with a Medium Pile Roller (not foam) to a measured area of 5m².
Immediately sprinkle the anti slip aggregate, uniformly, onto the wet coat to obtain the designed surface finish (total or light coverage).
Using the same roller, roll over the sprinkled aggregate to bed in. Do not apply more paint unless very heavy quantities of grit have been applied since this will result in a loss of slip resistance.
Avoid washing the surface for 7 days after application. In exceptional temperature conditions, advice should be obtained from our technical advisors.
