Application Steps:

• Stir the paint thoroughly.

Maintenance:

1. What Is Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint and How Does It Work?

Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint is a water-based coating that provides a fine aggregated finish to reduce slips and falls. Its anti-slip particles create traction on indoor and outdoor floors, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential areas prone to foot traffic and light vehicle use.

2. Which Surfaces Can I Paint With This Anti-Slip Coating?

You can apply it to most previously painted surfaces, including concrete, wood, tarmac, and other floor coatings. Always ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris before painting. For best results, lightly abrade glossy finishes to help the anti-slip paint bond effectively.

3. Is It Suitable for High-Traffic Areas and Light Vehicle Traffic?

Yes. Thanks to its durable acrylic resin and fine aggregate texture, Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint stands up well to heavy foot traffic and light vehicle use, such as in warehouses, retail stores, and garages. Its slip-resistant surface also enhances safety in busy work areas or family homes.

4. Do I Need a Primer, and How Easy Is It to Apply?

In most cases, you can apply it directly over a properly prepared, previously painted surface without an additional primer. Simply clean, degrease, and roughen glossy floors. Then use a brush or short pile roller for a uniform finish. The water-based formula ensures easy clean-up with soap and water.

5. How Long Does It Take to Dry, and Can I Recoat Quickly?

The paint typically dries to the touch within a few hours, and it’s usually ready for a second coat in about 6 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Always consult the label for specific drying times to ensure proper curing and optimal slip resistance.

6. Does Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint Come in Different Colours?

Yes. We offer a wide range of RAL, BS, and NCS colour options, so you can match brand requirements, safety codes, or design preferences. For standard shades, you can typically order smaller quantities, but minimums may apply for custom colours.

7. Is This Paint Safe for Indoor Use, and Does It Have a Strong Odour?

Because it’s water-based, it’s low-odour and low in VOCs, making it safer and more pleasant to use indoors compared to solvent-based alternatives. It’s still a good idea to keep the area well-ventilated during application to speed up drying and disperse any fumes.

8. How Can I Maintain and Clean My Anti-Slip Floor Once It’s Painted?

Regular sweeping or vacuuming helps remove dirt that can reduce traction. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent and a soft brush or mop. Avoid overly harsh chemicals or aggressive scrubbing tools, which can wear down the anti-slip aggregate over time.
