What Is Protectakote?

Protectakote is a unique, advanced formula polyurethane anti–slip paint, incorporating rubber granules to give a totally flexible anti–slip (Nb.Anti-slip coatings are often advertised as non-slip but it is impossible to ever achieve a completely non-slip finish) finish that will not flake, chip or peel. With no mixing or blending required, it can be easily applied to almost any surface including metal, concrete, wood, fibreglass, plastic and rubber leaving an attractive textured anti-slip finish that is resistant to impacts and is waterproof.

Why Should I Choose Protectakote?

Protectakote and Protectakote UVR are possibly two of the most versatile anti-slip (please note although often referred to as non-slip it is impossible to ever get a completely non-slip finish) paint products on the market today! Protectakote anti-slip (non-slip) paint will chemically bond to most surfaces (a primer may be required) leaving an extremely tough and flexible coating that is able to withstand impacts and is resistant to most solvents. Its granular rubber content gives it high traction (anti-slip) properties and the polyurethane bonder makes it extremely hard wearing.

What Does Protectakote Look / Feel Like?

Protectakote is a single pack polyurethane which cures into an attractive, tough, textured coating, with excellent abrasion, chemical resistance and non-slip qualities. Protectakote is available in two versions; the standard aromatic and UVR aliphatic.

How Can I Apply Protectakote?

Using the roller application will provide a rougher final texture than either the brush or the spray applications. Before applying PROTECTAKOTE, it is important that the surface to be coated is completely clean. (See Surface Preparation)  Mask all areas not to be coated. Remove masking tape after application of second coat, do not allow it to fully cure before removing. If tape sticks, cut along edge with razor.

IMPORTANT -- READ CAREFULLY!

PROTECTAKOTE contains flammable solvents. Ensure proper ventilation and fire precautions.

Roller Application:

Apply PROTECTAKOTE with textured, open-foam stipple roller. DO NOT USE STANDARD EMULSION ROLLERS.
Apply first coat as a thin coat to fully cover. When touch dry (usually within 1-2 hours), apply second coat (ideally at 90 degrees to first coat). To avoid "mud cracking," do not apply PROTECTAKOTE too thickly. Pour some Xylene over rollers between coats so rollers will not dry out. Inter-coat / curing time can be significantly shortened by the use of special accelerator (see section on accelerators). Extreme climatic conditions of heat, cold and humidity can shorten or lengthen this period. Please note that once a tin is opened and exposed to the air the curing process will begin and it will have a maximum life of 24 hrs, this will be significantly reduced by the addition of accelerator, the amount of the tin that has been used and the climatic conditions.

Brush Application

PROTECTAKOTE can be applied with a soft paint brush in two coats at right angles to one another. (PROTECTAKOTE is not paint, and should be laid onto the surface, in one direction, not brushed out as an oil or latex paint.) Between coats, clean brush only with recommended thinner/cleaner (Xylene). The second coat can be applied as soon as the first coat is tack free or touch dry usually within 2-4 hours. Extreme climatic conditions of heat, cold and humidity can shorten or lengthen this period.
