We can add non-slip texture to this product which makes it even more suited to areas such as dog runs, animal housing, commercial food preparation areas. If applying on a floor, consider using Chlorinated Rubber Floor Paint. We also have a chlorinated rubber based coating suitable for sealing garden ponds. For a similar coating designed for use on swimming pools, see Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint.

Preparation
General: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking materials, dirt, grease, and wax.
Compatibility Test: For previously painted surfaces, test for a solvent reaction by applying a small patch of this paint to check for softening or lifting of the old film.
Porous Surfaces (e.g., bare concrete): The first coat should be thinned with 10–20% Palatine Multi Purpose Thinners.
Metal: Can be applied directly to bare mild steel, but for maximum lifespan, it is recommended to apply a primer like Palatine Fast Dry Metal Primer first.
Safety: If applying indoors in poorly ventilated areas, wear a mask as fumes can take time to disperse.
Application
Methods: Use a suitable solvent-resistant roller or brush.
Coats: A minimum of 2–3 coats is recommended for best performance.
Thinning: Use Palatine Multi Purpose Thinners. Do not thin unless applying the first coat to a porous surface.
Environmental Conditions: Do not apply if the ambient temperature is below 10ºC.
Curing/Protection: Keep the coated area dry for at least 24 hours after application. If used for swimming pools or ponds, allow the paint to fully cure (full hardness takes 7–14 days) before filling with water.
