Watco Safety Coat Food Safe is a hard wearing, fast curing anti slip coating which has been tested to EN71/3 as a non-toxic product and has a Food Taint Test Certificate, making it ideal for busy food manufacturing or storage areas. It has excellent chemical resistant properties and can be steam cleaned if needed.
All surfaces must be -10℃ or above and free from ice or water.
Concrete to be treated must be at least four weeks old, completely dry and free of contaminants. Grease or oil should be removed with Watco Bio-D (or a similar emulsifying degreasant) and the area thoroughly washed off and allowed to dry.
Very smooth concrete or concrete with surface laitance (a weak dusty layer) should be abraded or etched with Watco Etch & Clean to ensure adequate adhesion. The concrete should be thoroughly washed down and allowed to dry after treatment with Watco Etch & Clean.
Watco Powerfloat Primer is recommended on powerfloated surfaces but it must be fully cured before overcoating.
Previously painted surfaces should be thoroughly abraded by sanding to improve adhesion and to remove any weak or loose material. A trial area is advisable to test compatibility with previous coatings.
Below 5℃ it may be necessary to avoid processes which involve wetting the floor due to the difficulty in drying. A good sweep or mechanical brushing may be sufficient. Do not apply outside if rainfall is imminent.
Mixing
Mix between 10°C and 25°C. Stir each tin thoroughly and pour all of the contents into the outer tin (scrape around the inside of the tins to remove any residue).
Mix the components together thoroughly using a spatula or a similar wide bladed tool. Add the tin of anti slip aggregate. Continue mixing until an even colour and consistency are obtained.
Do not mix more than one pack at a time. If a paint stirrer fitted to an electric drill is used, also use the spatula to blend in any unmixed material from the sides and bottom of the tin. Do not dilute.
Application
Apply between minus 10℃ and 30℃. Empty the contents into a roller tray and apply to the floor using a short pile roller, ‘working out’ the coating into a thin film. The viscosity will be somewhat thicker at very low temperatures, reducing coverage a little.
Most self levelling compounds cannot be painted - please ask our technical team for details on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected].
