    Description

    Watco ArmourGrip is a unique formulation which offers significant advantages over anti-slip paint coatings. It would take many years of constant heavy traffic for signs of wear to show. This is achieved using a heavy duty, high build epoxy resin coating topped with Iron Silicate grit. This aggregate is so hard (7.5 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale) that it will not wear away like a paint coating.

    The attractive, mid gloss aggregate will take constant forklift traffic, making it ideal for heavily used aisleways, ramps or loading bays where a safe, non-slip surface is required. Little or no maintenance is an advantage in constantly busy areas where downtime is difficult.

    It can be used inside and outside on slippery ramps, paths, vehicle turning areas, etc. It is highly versatile and can be applied to concrete, metal, or wood, usually without any need for a primer. The ‘cold weather’ formulation allows for essential safety and maintenance work to be undertaken at temperatures as low as 5°C.

    Surface Preparation


    Bare concrete – remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Flush with clean water and allow surface to dry. For the removal of heavier deposits of oil and grease we recommend Watco Concroff, again, flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry.

    New concrete – as a guide, new concrete should be left for eight weeks to dry (if the application has to go ahead before this, use Watco New Concrete Primer). The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Clean and thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating.

    Painted surfaces – abrade to remove any weak or loose paint. Check remaining paint is well bonded. Very smooth, glossy paint should be lightly abraded to provide a key. Watco Bio D can be used to remove grease and oil from painted surfaces. Watco Concroff is a very powerful degreaser for contaminated bare concrete, (do not use on a previously painted surface since it can soften paint).

    Priming – is not usually required. If applying to hard, smooth, power floated concrete use Watco Powerfloat Primer.

    Metal – remove any rust and flaking material by disc grinding or wire brushing. Apply the coating immediately after preparation to the clean metal surface. Grease or oil can be removed using Watco Bio D. Allow the metal to dry before coating.

    Galvanised MetalWatco Galvaprime must be used to prepare galvanised metal.

    Non-ferrous Metals - for advice, please contact our Technical Department.



    Mixing


    Remove the two inner tins from the tall outer tin. Stir the contents of 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 similar wide bladed tool, (a piece of wooden batten is ideal) and do not thin. 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.



    Application


    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.

    Apply a 1m wide strip of coating using a medium pile roller, cutting in around the edges with a brush. Immediately scatter the grit into the wet coating. Aim for complete coverage (there is plenty of grit) until none of the coating can be seen. Use a clean, dry roller to roll over the top of the grit, bedding it down into the wet coating. It does not matter if there appears to be too much grit. Repeat the process on the next 1m side strip.

    After the coating has cured (see ‘Light Traffic’ under ‘Curing Times’ overleaf), use a stiff broom to sweep away loose, excess grit.

    The floor is now ready for use.



    Limitations


    Not suitable for use on aluminium, stainless steel or chequer plate.

    Most self-levelling screeds cannot be painted – please ask for details.

    Unsuitable for asphalt or damp surfaces.

    Textured ‘gritty’ surfaces can make cleaning difficult in clean room areas.
