Product Description

OWAGRIP is a one pack polyurethane, non-slip finish for decks and other horizontal surfaces. Containing a tough polyurethane resin OWAGRIP protects against every day wear and tear.

Properties

• Anti-corrosive and UV resistant.
• Specially developed for extreme weather conditions.
• Excellent wear resistance – Double action non-slip fillers.- Surface filler + Base Filler = Long lasting performance.
• Satin finish limits glare and accumulation of dirt.
• Easily cleaned.

Surface Preparation

Surface must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, salt and other surface contamination including any preparation residue e.g. blasting, sanding etc. before applying OWAGRIP. Prior to blasting or manually preparing the surface all salt contamination should be removed using fresh water and the surface allowed to dry. All oils, grease etc. must be thoroughly removed using a suitable cleaning solvent e.g. OWACLEAN*, Acetone. Deposits firmly adhered should first be removed by scraping and then cleaned using the solvent.
