Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and professionals looking to create a safe, durable, and slip-resistant floor surface. The Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint offers a hard-wearing, water-based solution for various substrates, providing excellent adhesion and a matt finish. A key benefit is its fast drying time and low VOC content, making it user-friendly for indoor and outdoor applications. One caveat to consider is the 5-7 day period for full hardness to be achieved.

FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to be fully hardened?

The paint achieves its full hardness after approximately 5-7 days. During this time, it's best to avoid heavy foot traffic or placing heavy items on the surface.

Can this paint be used on wooden decking?

Yes, it can be applied to wood, including decking. Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and sound. It will provide a durable, slip-resistant surface for outdoor use.

What is the estimated coverage of this paint?

The estimated coverage is between 5 to 9 square meters per litre, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface being painted.

Is this paint suitable for areas that get wet frequently?

Yes, its anti-slip properties make it ideal for areas prone to moisture, such as patios, pathways, and around swimming pools (ensure proper curing).

Can I apply this paint over an existing oil-based floor paint?

It's recommended to lightly abrade the existing surface and ensure it is sound and clean. For best results, compatibility testing or a suitable primer might be necessary.

How do I clean up paint spills or tools?

Clean application tools immediately after use with water. Wipe up any spills while the paint is still wet using a damp cloth.

What colours are available?

This specific product is in Black. Other available colours include Yellow, White, and Grey.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants like oil or grease before application. Check if a primer was necessary for the substrate type.

Uneven finish or roller marks are visible.

Apply the paint with consistent pressure and in a uniform direction. Ensure even loading of the roller. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

The anti-slip texture feels insufficient.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred to distribute the anti-slip aggregate evenly. Apply a second coat if necessary, following the recoating times.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Check ambient temperature and humidity; drying times are estimates and can be affected by conditions. Ensure the paint was not applied too thickly. Avoid applying in cold or damp conditions.

Cons

  • Requires 5-7 days to reach full hardness, limiting heavy traffic during this period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: For optimal adhesion, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose material. New concrete should be fully cured (at least 28 days). Porous surfaces may require a suitable primer. Existing coatings should be sound and lightly abraded.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality roller, preferably with an extension pole for even coverage. Avoid over-thinning. Apply in temperatures between 10-25°C and when frost is not expected.

Compatibility: Suitable for bare or previously painted concrete, wood, tarmac, stone, brickwork, and suitably prepared metal surfaces. Do not apply to surfaces that are constantly immersed in water or subject to heavy chemical attack.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a damp cloth or a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the anti-slip finish.
