Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint

Surface Preparation

All surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants. Concrete – power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good “key” for the paint. This can be done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically using Coo-Var Acid Etch. These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance. New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months. Apply a 10% thinned coat of CooVar Floor Paint to prime and seal the surface prior to applying Coo-Var® Suregrip®. Other surfaces have to be prepared and primed with the suitable primer for that substrate. Existing painted surfaces – Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate “key” is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as new substrate and prepare accordingly.

Remarks

PTV Results 72 Dry – Low Risk, 61 Wet – Low Risk. These products have been independently tested under laboratory conditions. A site assessment is an important component in determining the slip risk of any given floor; the environment, contamination substances, types of footwear and likely pedestrian behaviour can all affect the actual figures achieved during application. An onsite verification may be necessary to determine actual values. For further information please contact our Technical Services department on 01942 884122.
