Slip Resistance
Should a non-slip finish be required, 508 Fine Particle Anti-Slip Additive can be added to the coating during mixing prior to application to produce an even and easily cleanable texture to the dried surface.
Alternatively the 'Anti Slip' option can be selected when purchasing the product and the 250 micron grade of 508 Anti-Slip Additive will be added at 2.4% prior to receipt.
Results based on adding 508 Fine Particle Anti-Slip Additive (250 Micron Grade) @ 2.4%.
- 5kg unit - add 200g
- 15kg unit - add 600g
- Dry PTV: 58-60
- Wet PTV: 45-48
PTV Ratings:
Slip potential classifications from Pendulum Test Values.
Slip Resistance Values | |
---|---|
PTV | Slip Potential |
< 25 | High |
25 - 35 | Moderate |
> 35 | Low |
The above results must only be used as a general guideline as the slip resistance of a cured resin coating can vary considerably due to many factors including: application technique, variations in film thickness, dispersion of the anti-slip texturing additive and the surface variations of the substrate and location to where it will be applied.
To obtain accurate PTV readings that are site specific (if required) it is strongly recommended that a slip assessment pendulum test is undertaken on each specific site after completion of the installation when the resin has fully cured.
A full copy of the official test report is available upon request.
Coverage
- A 5kg pack is sufficient to treat 10.0-12.5 m² of surface with the recommended two coat treatment
- Provides an overall d.f.t. of 200-250 microns (15kg pack pro rata)
Surface Preparation
Concrete:
- Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%
- Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound, and existing paint finishes
- Smooth concrete, or concrete with soft laitance, shall be mechanically treated by diamond grinding or grit blasting to provide a clean profiled surface
- Should this not be practicable then acid etching, although less preferable, is also an option
- Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using 201 Epoxy Repair Mortar
- Suitable mechanical treatment, such as vacuum grit blasting, is recommended to ensure a clean, uncontaminated substrate
Metal:
- Metal surfaces shall be wire brushed or power disced to remove any rust and loose or flaking material
- Grit blasting is recommended, where practical, for optimum performance
- Surface should then be immediately coated after preparation with 404 Epoxy Metal Primer
Wood:
- Wood surfaces shall be sanded to a smooth finish, and all previous coating removed
- Previously untreated wood shall be sealed with a coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer or 402 Damp Proof Coating
Note: Substrates with high moisture content or oil contamination can still be coated in most instances by the inclusion of one of our specialist primers. Please see 402 Damp Proof Coating and 403 Oil Tolerant Primer for full details.
303 Epoxy Floor Paint will not tolerate movement in the substrate, if there is a possibility the substrate may flex, expand and contract, shift etc. use one of our flexible coatings - Please consult our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for specific advice.
Priming:
- A primer coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on concrete substrates
- This will facilitate application to damp and/or absorbent surfaces
- Apply the 401 Epoxy Floor Primer at a nominal rate of 0.2kg per m² in accordance with the product data sheet instructions
- Allow the milky colour of the primer to disappear before overcoating
- This will typically be between 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and ventilation conditions
- Alternatively, the primer may be left overnight
Mixing:
- Pour the contents of the curing agent container into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform consistency is achieved
- The mixed material may be thinned by the addition of up to a maximum of 10% by volume of clean, potable water
Mixing Ratio:
- By Volume = 1 Base : 2.62 Curing Agent
- By Weight = 39 Base : 100 Curing Agent
Application
- Apply by brush, roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.20 to 0.25kg/sq.m. per coat equivalent to a dry film thickness of 100-125 microns
- A minimum two coat treatment is recommended, applying subsequent coats after a minimum interval of 16 hours curing
- Ensure good ventilation after application, as this speeds up the physical drying stage of the curing process
- Should a non-slip finish be required, 508 Fine Particle Anti-Slip Additive can be added to the coating during mixing prior to application to produce an even and easily cleanable texture to the dried surface
- Alternatively for a more aggressive anti-slip finish 504 Standard Anti Slip Aggregate can be scattered onto the first coat of 303 Epoxy Floor Paint whilst still wet
- The following day any excess aggregate may be swept from the surface using a clean brush prior to application of the second coat
Cleaning
- Clean equipment with 109 Tool Cleaner prior to curing of the coating
Curing
- Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 48 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking
- 7 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals
- Good ventilation is essential for satisfactory curing of the coating
- Lower temperatures will extend the curing time
Limitations
- Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces
- Do not apply at temperatures of 3°C or less
- In poorly ventilated areas forced extraction must be provided
Storage & Shelf Life
- Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
- 303 Epoxy Floor Paint has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
Health & Safety
- Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
- Wear gloves and goggles
- Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water
- Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of water, and immediate medical attention sought
- Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information
- 303 Epoxy Floor Paint shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

Questions
Question about the product
ian Knight on 2024-08-12 16:03:11 | Question:
we are painting on old industrial floor so will need to use a floor grinder. the floor will have forklift use multiple times a day, now your HD range is discontinued which paint do you recommend? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No, this product wouldn't be best suited to cope with forklift traffic. Assuming the substrate is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, you could consider 304 HB Epoxy Floor Coating as an alternative, this is a High Build, Durable coating that can also cope with forklift traffic in addition to foot traffic. | |
Bill on 2023-04-05 18:40:15 | Question:
Hi, would sealing the bare concrete garage floor with PVA cause adhesion problems for this paint? Thanks... |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes it could, we would not recommend the use of PVA. Smooth concrete, or concrete with soft laitance, should be mechanically treated by diamond grinding or grit blasting to provide a clean profiled surface. Should this not be practicable then acid etching, although less preferable, is also an option. | |
RICHARD COPELAND on 2023-03-28 10:53:59 | Question:
Hi, what is the Ral equivalent for Mid Grey in your 303 Epoxy Floor Paint range? Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
The closest RAL code for Ready Mixed Grey for this item is RAL 7001. | |
Arthur on 2021-08-21 09:23:25 | Question:
Hello we are doing a wet room in a fish shop where we peel the potatoes etc so would like a water proof tough fooor paint |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the floor is bare concrete and can be prepared as per the data sheet then we would recommend 503 Easy Clean Anti Slip Coating for your application. | |
sophie on 2021-01-20 17:29:19 | Question:
What is the metre coverage? How many m2 does 5kg cover? Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product covers 5m² per kg per coat. 5kg will provide one coat to 25m² . | |
john hill on 2016-07-07 10:03:22 | Question:
Hi, We are using the mid green 303 epoxy paint for pedestrian walkways but we have an area where fork lifts will cross the walkway a few times per day. Is the 303 good enough to stand up to some FLT traffic or which paint should I be using for this area? and do you have a colour match for that paint to the mid green or the RAL code for Mid green? Kind Regards - John |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Our 303 Epoxy Floor Paint is more than capable of dealing with the level of traffic you have described, however if you wished to increase the durability additional coats of our 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating. The Mid Green colour in our 303 or 304 Epoxy floor coatings is an in house colour but would be closest to RAL 6002 Leaf Green. | |
