Description
Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating is a clear deck coating which allows the beauty of wood to show through whilst providing a slip-resistant surface.
Preparation
- Ensure surface to be treated is clean, thoroughly dry, sound and free from wax, oil or any other contamination.
- It is important that the substrate is thoroughly dry before application and during the drying period otherwise blanching (whitening) may occur.
- Existing coatings should be lightly sanded to aid adhesion.
- Weathered timber should be made good.
- On bare wood the use of a decking stain is recommended prior to application of this product as this will give the wood better UV resistance and prolong the lifetime of the coating.
- Ensure new or bare timber is adequately preserved prior to applying wood finishes, apply Blackfriar Goldstar Clear Wood Preservative to untreated timbers where required.
Application
- Stir Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating thoroughly prior to use.
- For best results apply two coats by short pile roller.
- Allow the first coat to fully dry before applying a second coat.
- A brush may be used for small or awkward areas.
- Thinning – Not recommended.
- Coverage Rate: Up to 9 square metres per litre per coat.
- Drying Time: Touch dry in 4 – 6 hours. Recoat after 12 hours and within 3 days. Drying times are based on an ambient temperature of 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Lower temperatures or higher humidity will prolong the drying and overcoating times.
Limitations
- Do not apply Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating in wet or frosty conditions.
- The anti-slip properties make this product difficult to clean.
- This product is not suitable for heavy duty use or steel wheeled vehicles.
- Do not allow the build up of moss/mould growth or wet leaves etc. as this will impair or even cancel the anti-slip properties.
Clean Up
- Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before washing with white spirit.
- Do not empty Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating into drains or water courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
