EUCO GRIP is a finely ground polymer additive designed to enhance the slip resistance of concrete sealers and coatings while providing a textured yet smooth finish. This additive is suitable for solvent-based and 100% solids sealers and coatings, blending easily without affecting the viscosity or sprayability of the product.
Product Characteristics and Benefits:
– Slip Resistance: Offers improved slip resistance, making surfaces safer underfoot.
– Ease of Integration: Mixes easily into coatings and sealers without the need for constant stirring.
– Smooth Texture: Provides a smoother feel than traditional aggregates like sand, enhancing comfort underfoot.
– Stable Suspension: Remains well suspended in the mixture, reducing the need for frequent remixing.
Primary Applications:
Euco Grip is ideal for adding to coatings applied to various concrete surfaces where enhanced slip resistance is desired:
– Concrete floors
– Patios and walkways
– Pool decks
– Driveways
– Garage floors
Usage Instructions:
To use, Euco Grip should be added at a rate of 3.2 oz per gallon of sealer or coating, with adjustments possible depending on the desired texture. It should be mixed into one component of two-component products before full mixing and allowed to sit for 30 minutes to 24 hours before application. Application can be done with a sprayer followed by backrolling to ensure even coverage, taking care to maintain a wet edge and redistribute any excess product.
Limitations and Precautions:
– Not for use with water-based products or penetrating sealers like silane or siloxane.
– Should not be broadcasted into wet sealer surfaces.
– While it increases friction, surfaces treated with Euco Grip should not be considered entirely non-slip.
EUCO GRIP is an effective solution for projects requiring an enhanced safety profile without compromising on the aesthetic or tactile qualities of the surface. It’s particularly useful in environments where both durability and pedestrian safety are concerns.
