Need Help?

Hello, our shop is accessed via a metal 'diamond treadplate'-style staircase which can get very slippery in wet weather. We are open 7-days a week, so would need an anti-slip paint which dries for use within the 14 hours we are closed overnight. Is there any product you could recommend to us? We had previously been advised the Smartkote Protectakote - but I notice this has a long drying/curing time. Many thanks, Dave


Smartkote Protectakote UVR would be our recommendation however with the addition of Smartkote Protectakote 2K Metal Primer if bare metal and Smartkote Protectakote UVR Accelerator added to the Smartkote Protectakote UVR to speed up drying/curing.

The following table shows approximate drying times of Protectakote UVR at various temperatures with and without the use of accelerator:
