Resincoat Heavy Duty Anti-Slip Ramp Paint

Create a Safe Workplace with our Premium Epoxy Ramp Paint

Resincoat anti-slip ramp paint is generally applied onto ramps and walkways in areas vulnerable to slips and trips. This paint is commonly used to provide an anti-slip finish on commercial, domestic and industrial walkways and ramps, inside or outside. Our product can help you create a safe workplace environment and is a great way for you to conform to health and safety regulations. Unlike many other non-slip floor paints, our formula works well even when applied onto vertical risers or edge surfaces with limited dripping. The highly durable design can withstand heavy-wheeled traffic making it ideal for use in high traffic areas in factories or walkways.

Our anti-slip formula boasts high quality epoxy resin free of solvents and diluents. The coating is available in a wide range of striking colours allowing you to select one that will blend seamlessly into your environment. For areas where safety of staff and the public is paramount, this coating is the perfect solution. We offer three grades of sand blend to choose from to suit your needs. These are:

• Anti-Slip Fine: A fine scatter of silica sand throughout the coating designed to add non-slip properties whilst maintaining as much of a smooth, glossy finish as possible.
• Anti-Slip Medium: A little more heavy duty than fine, but not quite as much as coarse. This blend produces a textured finish that provides enough grip to prevent most accidents, even in wet conditions.
• Anti-Slip Coarse: Our highest grade of anti-slip coating, this blend offers exceptional protection in dry conditions and will resist a majority of slips in wet conditions. Our coarse finish will produce a more textured/graded finish, so this is often used in areas where safety is key.

Resistant to trips, slips and falls

Our premier High Build Epoxy Anti-Slip Floor Paint is specifically formulated to meet and in many cases exceed guidelines set about by the Health and Safety Executive in the UK. Those guidelines state that floors should meet the following slip resistance ratings under both WET and DRY conditions when tested using Cooper pendulum testing equipment:

Below are Resincoat's HB Epoxy Anti-Slip Floor Paint test results under normal conditions:

The thickness and therefore effectiveness of our Anti Slip coatings are:

Fine: 0.25mm

Medium: 0.45mm

Coarse: 1mm

Please note: during application, and particularly with fine and medium, if the paint is applied too thickly, then the particles of anti-slip sand won't protrude through the surface, and wont work effectively.

Application Guide

Preparation

Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat Heavy Duty Anti-Slip Ramp Paint System. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet. 

Please note: Etch and Clean is only suitable for use on bare concrete.

Priming

• For new concrete floors or floors in good condition, prime with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer

• For dusty, old or weaker floors prime with Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer

• For greasy floors with heavy oil residue clean thoroughly using a suitable degreaser scraping off any dust or dirt and then prime with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer

Application

We advise when applying this product the ambient temperature is at least 7°C.

1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.

2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.

3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.

4. Scatter the non-slip additive by hand into the wet coat (Be advised: if the paint is applied too thickly, then the particles of anti-slip sand won't protrude through the surface, and wont work effectively).

5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this should take 16-24 hours.

6. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic (Full chemical cure).

PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes. 

Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener

Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
