Overview:
Sure Step® Anti-Slip Coating provides a durable skid resistant finish for interior or exterior application. Imparts excellent colour retention, abrasion resistance and resistance to ponding water. Sure Step® is water reduced which allows for fast dry plus easy application and clean up. Available in 6 ready mixed colours and
white. Sure Step® can be exposed to light foot traffic 24 hours after application of the final coat. Allow 4-5 days for heavier or continuous foot traffic. Sure Step® coating is formulated to have high slip resistance for areas that require extra skid resistance.
Application:
Sure Step® may be easily applied by roller, brush or squeegee. Stir contents thoroughly to assure even dispersion of pigment. Apply product at a rate of 7.4 – 11.2 sq. m. per 3.79 L (80 to 120 square feet per gallon). May be recoated in 8 hours under good drying conditions. Two coats of Sure Step™ are required for proper performance. Do not apply if rain is threatening. Apply when surface and ambient temperature are above 12.8 °C (55 °F) and below 32.2 °C (90 °F).
Avoid paint application outside when weather conditions are threatening, and late in the afternoon when there is a threat of moisture condensing on wet paint. Do not paint if surface temperature is within 5 degrees of the dew point.
Surface Preparation:
CONCRETE: UNCOATED CONCRETE: All fully cured and uncoated concrete must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, dirt, curing compounds or other foreign matter that could interfere with penetration and adhesion. Grease, release agents and dirt can be removed by scrubbing the surfacewith an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Rinse well with clean water. To neutralize uncoated concrete, etch the surface with a concrete etcher. Follow all label instructions carefully. A properly etched concrete surface should exhibit the texture of fine sandpaper.
PREVIOUSLY COATED CONCRETE: Remove all oil, grease, dirt or other foreign matter by scrubbing the surface with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Rinse well with clean water and allow it to dry. Remove loose, flaking paint by scraping or power washing. Glossy surfaces must be dulled by sanding.
ASPHALT: UNCOATED ASPHALT: Newly laid asphalt surfaces should be allowed to cure 45 to 60 days before coating. This curing time frame is necessary for all the solvents in the asphalt to evaporate. The surface must be free of dirt, loose gravel, oil or other foreign matter that could be detrimental to coating adhesion. Any oil or grease spots must be treated with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Best results for general preparation will be obtained by power washing; however, conscientious sweeping and water hose rinsing may suffice. Sure Step® is self-priming on bare asphalt.
PREVIOUSLY COATED ASPHALT: All dirt, dust, mildew, loose gravel and flaking paint should be removed by power washing. Any oil or grease spots must be treated with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Repairs should be made to cracked, crumbling or delaminating asphalt surfaces.
WOOD: UNCOATED WOOD: Remove all dirt, dust, mildew or loose wood fibers by power washing. Allow surface to dry thoroughly. Prime uncoated wood with an oil based primer. Prime uncoated plywood with an acrylic water based primer.
PREVIOUSLY COATED WOOD: Remove all dirt, dust, chalk, mildew or flaking paint by power washing. An alternate method is to scrape, wire brush, wash the surface with a solution of one part bleach* to three parts water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry. *Follow bleach manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of bleach solution.
FERROUS METAL: UNCOATED METAL: Surface must be clean, dry and free of form oils, rust and mill scale. Any oily residue must be removed by solvent washing. Rust and mill scale must be removed by aggregate blasting or conscientious power hand tool cleaning. Prime uncoated metal with Corotech® V110 Acrylic Metal Primer.
PREVIOUSLY COATED METAL: Surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, dust, chalk, rust, mill scale and flaking paint. Commercial blast cleaning SSPC-SP 6 or power tool method SSPC-SP 2 are acceptable. Any tight adhering paint, with a gloss or semi-gloss sheen, must be dulled by sanding. Spot prime bare areas.
