How To Paint An Anti-Slip Floor Coating

Step 1

Surface Preparation

  • Surfaces to be repaired must be clean, dry and free of any loose, friable material.
  • For larger areas, recommend hiring floor preparation equipment such as an upright floor grinder.
  • A large industrial vacuum from the same hire shop can be used to remove all surface dust and debris. Please call our help line for further information.
  • Any small areas of oil, grease or other non-toxic chemical can be removed using RizistalClean or Rizistal Safer Solvent.
  • Mark out perimeters using durable floor tape if necessary.

 

Step 2

Provide Safety Under Foot with Your Anti-Slip Paint

  • Each pack of Epoxy Anti Slip Floor Paint is a 3 part product, housed within a large outer container:
    • Resin Component
    • Hardener Component
    • Aggregate Component (Medium or Coarse)
  • Empty the resin and hardener components in the large outer container making sure you scrape as much of the contents out as possible.
  • Mix thoroughly using a Mixing Paddle attached to an electric drill, until you achieve a uniform colour and consistency.
  • Pour the mixed contents into a paint scuttle to allow roller access.
  • Apply the paint coating with a paint brush, small roller and/or wide, short pile roller, depending on the size of your area.
  • Work the paint into the floor surface with long, even, parallel strokes.

TOP TIP: For the best finish, re-work the previous 2-3m² periodically with light, parallel, one-way strokes.

  • Then working in manageable sections, sprinkle your chosen aggregate onto the newly applied wet coating.
  • Re-apply the roller onto the surface to encapsulate the aggregate into the resin.

NOTE: If the surface is considered too anti-slip upon cure, a second paint coat can be applied within 12 hours to reduce the aggregate profile.

 

Step 4

Leave to cure (Set) & Clean

  • Once installed, leave your painted area to cure (set) by following the curing times guidelines below.
  • Clean your equipment and tools with Rizistal Safer Solvent before it begins to cure.
