Owatrol Antislip, Non-Slip Wood, Decking And More

Product Description

ANTISLIP contains polypropylene wax microbeads (particle size 100 microns) that provide an anti-slip surface for pedestrian traffic and a skid resistant surface for wheeled traffic to prevent the risk of falling or skidding in areas with a severe slip or skid hazard. Producing a more evenly textured surface than conventional anti-slip coatings where grit is sprinkled in to the wet finish, ANTISLIP penetrates into and bonds with the wood fibres to provide a finely textured, flexible, long lasting anti-slip satin finish.

Properties

Protects and decorates.Easy maintenance – No sanding or stripping.Good UV and weather resistance – Lasting performance.Easy application.Non slip finish for all exterior wood surfaces.

Surface Preparation

General Directions

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
• Treat mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Scrub solution on to surface and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes; rinse thoroughly.
• After cleaning and/or stripping, allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18% or less before applying finish.
• ANTISLIP can only be applied to bare wood surfaces or weathered surfaces previously finished with ANTISLIP. ALL other finishes MUST be completely and thoroughly removed.
• If necessary sand surface after cleaning and/or stripping (80 grit paper).
• New planed, smooth wood has a hard shiny surface called mill glaze that prevents maximum penetration and bonding of any finish; this should be removed prior to application in order to ensure proper performance of the finish.

New wood surfaces

• Treat with AQUANETT®* or PREPDECK®*, neutralise with NET-TROL®*, alternatively mechanically abrade surface with 80 grit paper. Clean off all loose wood particles. Test wood for absorbency by sprinkling water on the surface.
• If water is absorbed rapidly, the surface is ready for finishing.

Untreated weathered woods

• Untreated wood surfaces that have weathered longer than 12 months should be thoroughly cleaned with undiluted NET-TROL®* to ensure that all loose wood fibres, dirt and other surface contaminants are removed.

Previously treated surfaces (oiled)

• All oils or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed with AQUANETT®* or PREPDECK®* and the stripped surface neutralised with NET-TROL®*.

Previously treated surfaces (paint, stain, varnish,…)

• All previous coatings must be completely and thoroughly removed.
• Solvent (oil or alkyd based finishes): Strip with DILUNETT®* neutralise with NET-TROL®*.
• Acrylic (Water-based) finishes: Strip with PREPDECK®* neutralise with NET-TROL®*.
• Other finishes e.g. 2 pack epoxies, urethanes… Strip with DSP 800*, neutralise by mechanically sanding or rinse surface with a suitable solvent – Warm Water, Acetone, White Spirits….

Note: Hardwoods inc’ exotic hardwoods and woods rich in tannins i.e. Cedar, Douglas Fir, Teak, Ipe, Iroko…. may darken with AQUANETT®*, PREPDECK®* and DILUNETT®*, neutralising with NET-TROL®* immediately after rinsing will lighten and restore the woods colour. Oak and Chestnut please contact us for additional information and advice.
