Skid Resistant Surfaces

SPI offers polyureas that can be mixed with aggregates to achieve the desired skid resistant surface.

All systems can be installed to meet the ADA requirements for slip resistance.

Polyurea coating systems can be textured through the use of silica sand, polypropylene beads or aluminum oxide. In general, a smaller grade aggregate can be incorporated into the coating while larger aggregate must be broadcast and back roller. The broadcast technique will leave variation in texture. Broadcast systems are naturally course and can be made smoother through the use of additional topcoat materials.

Troweled systems have a tendency to be more slip resistant due to the open architecture of the blend. The slip resistant nature of your system can also be adjusted through the use of various finish coats. Glossy surfaces are perceived to be much more slippery than satin or flat finishes. Selecting a topcoat with a slight stipple finish will be less slippery than a smooth finish.

If you have the option of using either an epoxy or a urethane as determined in the first steps of the process, you may wish to consider a urethane finish which will not only be more skid resistant, but will also resist abrasion under normal foot traffic.
