Description

Most paints are worn out very quickly by the regular foot traffic on step edges. This coating can be applied in a single, quick drying layer, and is based on a two part epoxy for maximum abrasion resistance.

Ordinary two part epoxy coatings have a very limited pot life (usable application life after mixing together the two components). Watco Step Edge Paint uses a technology that gives both a long pot life and a rapid cure time, so that the painted step can be put back into service with the minimum of delay.

For a heavily textured anti slip surface on steps, refer to fibreglass or steel based edging products such as Watco Safety Edge and Watco Stainless Steel Safety Treads.

Chemical Resistance

This is not specifically a chemical resistant coating, but it will have good general resistance to most of the chemicals that are likely to be spilled on it, including petrol, oils, hydraulic fluids, cleaning products, dilute acids and alkalis, and water. Some marking or staining may occur.

Resistance to wear

Very good wear resistance, however some wear is bound to occur eventually. In such cases, the product may be re-applied after cleaning and preparation.

Slip resistance (measured to BS7976 with Four S standard rubber):

  • Dry PTV 69 – Extremely low slip potential
  • Wet PTV 56 – Low slip potential

Features & Benefits


  • Clearly highlights step edges and trip hazards
  • Slip resistant and chemical resistant
  • Can be used as low as 5°C
  • Ready for foot traffic in 4 hours
  • Easy to mix and apply



Surface Preparation


All surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Old stone surfaces may be extremely hard and shiny. Performance of Watco Stepmarker in these situations will be improved if the surface can be scarified first. If nothing else is available, vigorous use of a wire brush will assist.

Concrete should be sound and free from laitance and dust.

Timber should be hard, dry and free from oils. Abrasion is recommended. Not suitable for use on inherently oily timbers unless they are abraded thoroughly.

Abrade steel to a bright surface before coating. Do not use a primer. Other metals should be clean and dry.

Mask the area to be painted with masking tape.



Mixing


Add the entire contents of the curing agent (smaller tin) to the contents of the resin (larger tin) and mix thoroughly with a flat bladed tool until thoroughly blended and of a uniform consistency. Pay particular attention to the sides and bottom of the can. Pour into a paint kettle or tray before application.



Application


Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C. At surface temperatures below 10°C the coating may stiffen during application, but this will not affect performance.

Apply by brush or roller to the prepared surface. Brush application usually reduces coverage but allows a thicker coating to be used.

One good coat is usually sufficient. If a second coat is required, this may be applied after approximately 1 hour.



Limitations


The durability of the marking will be improved by proper preparation.

Do not apply in cold, damp conditions, or when rainfall is imminent.

Ensure that the chosen colour is a good contrast to the surrounding step.

Contains volatile organic compounds with a pronounced odour; ensure adequate ventilation when applying this product.
