The above results must only be used as a general guideline as the slip resistance of a cured resin coating can vary considerably due to many factors including: application technique, variations in film thickness, dispersion of the anti-slip texturing additive and the surface variations of the substrate and location to where it will be applied.

To obtain accurate PTV readings that are site specific (if required) it is strongly recommended that a slip assessment pendulum test is undertaken on each specific site after completion of the installation when the resin has fully cured.

Coverage

• A 5kg pack is sufficient to apply one coat to 20m² of surface providing an overall d.f.t. of approximately 200 microns

Surface Preparation

Concrete:

• Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%
• Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc
• Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using 201 Epoxy Repair Mortar
• Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating

Steel:

• Steel surfaces shall be shot blasted or grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard
• All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application
• If a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application then it is recommended that a coat of 404 Epoxy Metal Primer is applied as holding primer to obviate flash rusting

Note: Substrates with high moisture content or oil contamination can still be coated in most instances by the inclusion of one of our specialist primers. Please see 402 Damp Proof Coating and 403 Oil Tolerant Primer for full details.

Mixing:

• Pour the contents of the curing agent container into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour is achieved

Mixing Ratio:

• By Volume - 2.44 Base: 1 Curing Agent
• By Weight - 100 Base: 28.2 Curing Agent

Application

• Apply by brush, roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.25kg/m²
• Ensure coverage rates are adhered to – spreading the product too far can result in reduced durability, performance, opacity, etc
• Over application can result in reduced or even no slip resistance
• This should be applied to an adequately primed or compatible (test if unsure) previously painted surfaces
• Existing coatings need to be sound, free of contaminants and checked for compatibility, adequate adhesion and should be abraded to provide a suitable key for 503 Easy Clean Anti-Slip Coating to adhere
• Should you wish to build the film build-up of the coating system, first apply a coat of 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating at a nominal rate of 0.25 to 0.3kg/m²
• Ensure the following coat of 503 Easy Clean Anti-Slip Coating is applied after a minimum of 14 hours and before a maximum of 48 hours

Cleaning

• Clean equipment with 109 Tool Cleaner prior to curing of the coating

Curing

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 48 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking
• 7 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals - lower temperatures will extend the curing time

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
• 503 Easy Clean Anti-Slip Coating has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions

Health & Safety

• Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
• Wear gloves and goggles
• Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water
• Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of clean water, and immediate medical attention sought
• Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information
• 503 Easy Clean Anti-Slip Coating shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
