Features & Benefits
Product Uses
Coverage
3m² per litre per coat. Applied in a 2 coat application. Giving an overall coverage of 1.5m² per litre
Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and profile of the surface. Three coats are recommended for high wear areas.
Surface Preparation
Ensure all substrates are thoroughly dry, clean, sound and free from any contaminants such as dirt, rust, salt, algae and grease.
Protectakote UVR exhibits good adhesion to most primers. All non-porous substrates with the exception of painted surfaces require a primer. Substrates differ significantly, and so all new applications should be tested for adhesion first.

![]() | Question:
hello can this be used on natural stone / sandstone steps for a none slip tread ? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Smartkote Protectakote UVR does not mention sandstone as a specific substrate it can be applied to, but Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment can be used to prepare inorganic surfaces for the subsequent adhesion of Smartkote Protectakote UVR and would be worth testing as an option to meet your requirements. | |
![]() | Question:
Hello, can this product also be used on stone? For example outside brushed or gloss granite/marble stairs, etc... If not, can you please advise which product would be the most appropriate for outside heavy traffic granite/marble stairs (only the edge of the stairs would be painted for the purpose of blind and partly blinded people, so it also must come in contrast colours like white, black, yellow, dark gray). Thank you very much. Best regards, Gregor |

It would be worth considering Anti-Slip Stair Nosings or Heskins Safety-Grip Anti-Slip Tape Rolls | |

I have a campervan with very slippery steps on the driver and the passenger sides. Is there a paint suitable for this application? |

Hello, can the product be applied outside onto painted metal stairs in current autumn conditions ie damp (but not when raining) & below 10 Celsius with the accelerator? In these conditions how long before touch dry? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Compatible previously painted surfaces should be prepared by abrading with a scouring pad or medium grit sandpaper to remove all gloss. Solvent wipe with Xylene, allow to dry and apply Protectakote UVR directly. Surfaces must be dry before application, Smartkote Protectakote UVR Accelerator is available for use below 10°C when extended drying times are undesirable. A table showing the expected drying times can be found in the product description of Smartkote Protectakote UVR Accelerator. | |
