NON-SLIP COATINGS

Polyurea Coatings For Safer Surfaces

POLYUREA NON-SLIP COATINGS

Polyurea non-slip coatings can upgrade the safety and functionality of slippery surfaces by improving adhesion and increasing friction. As one of the most durable and flexible coating technologies on the market, polyurea non-slip coatings are engineered for harsh operating conditions and challenging local environments. Tailored for anti-slip and anti-skid applications, polyurea non-slip coatings can be formulated with specific textures and roughness, or incorporate abrasive aggregates for additional grip and a unique appearance. They’re perfect for anything from entryways and lobbies to marinas or boat decks, making almost any surface safer and easier to use.

ANTI-SLIP & ANTI-SKID APPLICATIONS

When we think about our safety at home or in the workplace, slippery floors aren’t typically what first comes to mind. However, more than 25% of all injuries, across all industries, are caused by slips, trips, and falls. Whether it be polished concrete, a wet floor from a small spill, or snowmelt after a blizzard, floors can be slippery and difficult to navigate for countless reasons. Polyurea non-slip coatings provide anti-slip and anti-skid properties to almost any flooring material, and can be used in countless contexts:

ArmorThane Non-Slip Coating Products

ArmorThane formulates, manufactures, applies, and distributes a range of high-performance polyurea and polyurethane coatings, including several specialty non-slip products. We’ll work with you to create the perfect non-slip coating solution, starting by sharing some of our tried and tested non-slip coating products:

SureGrip Spray On Soft Polyurea: SureGrip is our premier non-slip coating technology. Made of high-quality polyurea, SureGrip offers the greatest elongation, tensile strength, and tear strength for maximum flexibility and adaptability. It strongly adheres to the most common substrates, and has the highest coefficient of friction of any of our coatings products

Aggregate To Create A Rough Texture: Abrasive aggregates offer a unique way to customize and functionalize slippery surfaces. Depending on the type of polymer coating and its specific formulation, abrasive aggregate can be incorporated into new coatings before or after application, ensuring the aggregate is introduced while the surface is still wet.

Non-Aggregate Textured Spraying Techniques: Abrasive aggregate can be a functional and stylish addition for many surfaces, but for spaces like showers or pool decks where bare feet are common, aggregate can cause more problems than it solves. For these applications, non-aggregate textured spraying techniques can be used to apply a comfortable, non-slip and anti-skid surface. 

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​​

Non-slip coatings are very safe, in fact, they’re designed specifically to create safer surfaces. They’re applied to smooth or slippery surfaces, or surfaces at risk of getting wet or contaminated with slippery substances like oil or grease. When they’re made of safer and more sustainable materials like polyurea, this safety comes at no cost to people or the environment.

Non-slip coatings can be used to create safer surfaces almost anywhere, and on nearly any type of material. Some common examples include entryways and lobbies, marinas and boat decks, and hospitals and grocery stores. They’re most frequently used on private, commercial, or industrial floors, as well as various tools and equipment.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for non-slip coatings, choosing a robust and adaptable material technology like polyurea can help ensure lasting performance for almost any coatings project. They’re highly durable with exceptional flexibility, and can resist everything from groundwater to industrial chemicals. They provide strength and protection, along with a textured finish for better grip and safer surfaces.
