Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate and how does it work?
SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate is a specially formulated material designed to be scattered onto wet SPO Heavy Duty Two-Pack Floor Paint or Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint. When applied, it creates a rugged and textured, slip-resistant surface that enhances floor safety and traction. The large particle size of the aggregate is key to providing maximum grip in high-traffic areas, reducing the risk of slip-related accidents.
2. What surfaces can benefit from using SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate?
The aggregate is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is perfect for industrial, commercial, and residential settings where safety is a priority, such as:
- Warehouses and factories
- Garages and workshops
- Retail environments and commercial spaces
- Family homes, particularly on high-traffic areas like entryways and corridors
3. How do I apply SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate?
For best results, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area is primed with a fresh coat of wet SPO Heavy Duty Two-Pack Floor Paint or Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint.
- Scatter Evenly: Evenly scatter the SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate over the wet paint. The large particles will embed in the paint, creating an aggressive textured finish.
- Allow to Dry: Let the paint and aggregate mixture dry completely. This will form a durable, slip-resistant surface that maintains its anti-slip properties.
4. What are the benefits of using SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate?
Some key benefits include:
- Enhanced Safety & Traction: Provides a rugged, textured finish that offers reliable grip in high-traffic and potentially slippery areas.
- Large Particle Size for Maximum Grip: The specially formulated large particles ensure optimal traction, lowering the risk of accidents.
- Ideal for Heavy Duty Applications: Perfect for environments such as warehouses, garages, and industrial settings where durability is essential.
- Effortless Application: Simply scattered onto wet paint, it integrates seamlessly into the curing process for immediate anti-slip properties.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a variety of applications with SPO Heavy Duty Two-Pack Floor Paint or Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint, helping you to achieve a safe and compliant surface.
5. How much area does SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate cover?
One 880-gram pack of SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate covers approximately 35–50 m² when applied with SPO Heavy Duty Two-Pack Floor Pain tor Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint. This coverage may vary based on the substrate and application thickness.
6. Is SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate durable enough for heavy traffic?
Yes. The aggregate is specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications. Its robust formulation and large particle size ensure that the textured finish remains effective and durable, even under the demands of heavy foot and vehicle traffic.
7. Can I use SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate with any type of paint?
SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate is designed for optimal adhesion and performance with SPO Heavy Duty Two-Pack Floor Paint or Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint. For the best results and guaranteed performance, it is recommended to use it with the compatible SPO paint system. Using other paints may not provide the same level of grip or durability.
8. How do I maintain a floor treated with SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate?
Maintenance is straightforward:
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum the surface regularly to remove debris without damaging the textured finish.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Clean with mild detergents to prevent compromising the integrity of the aggregate.
- Inspect Periodically: Check for any signs of wear or deterioration and consider reapplication if the anti-slip properties diminish over time.
