EverFlor - Easy-Grip - Anti-Slip Additive

Easy-Grip is a dry anti-slip additive for floor coatings and sealers. It is a fine-grade powder based on high molecular weight polypropylene. You mix it into the coating before application, then apply the coating as normal. The result is a fine-textured surface that gives grip underfoot rather than a smooth, slick film.

The polypropylene is tough, so the particles stay bound in the dried film and the floor keeps its durability. The powder is clear. Add it to a coloured coating and the colour is unaffected; add it to a clear sealer and you get a clear anti-slip finish. It disperses easily and needs only low speed mixing, so there is no specialist equipment and no long stirring before you start.

Use it with EverFlor clear sealers and floor coatings, or with other coloured and clear coatings and sealers. Dose at 400g per 20 litres of coating. It is suitable for interior and exterior work.

Recommended areas of use

• Floor coatings that need grip underfoot
• Clear sealers where an anti-slip finish is wanted without altering the look
• Coloured coatings where the existing colour must be kept
• Interior floor areas
• Exterior floor areas

Features

• Fine finish grade, so the floor gains texture rather than a coarse, aggressive surface
• High molecular weight polypropylene gives good film durability
• Clear powder, so coloured coatings keep their colour and clear sealers stay clear
• Easy to disperse with low speed mixing, so no specialist equipment is needed
• Mixed into the coating before application, so the normal application method is unchanged
• Dosed simply at 400g per 20 litres of coating
• Suitable for interior and exterior use
• Available in 100g and 400g packs for part and full units

Good to know

Add the powder to the coating, not to the floor. Stir it in thoroughly before you start and keep the coating stirred as you work, so the additive stays evenly distributed through the pot. Prepare and prime the substrate as the coating you are using requires; the additive changes the texture of the finish, not the preparation. Shelf life is 24 months, so keep the pack sealed and dry between jobs.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Prepare the floor to the requirements of the coating or sealer you are using. Easy-Grip alters the texture of the finished film; it does not reduce the preparation or priming the coating needs. Never scatter the powder onto the wet floor — it is mixed into the coating before application.

MIXING

Dose at 400g of additive per 20 litres of coating or sealer, and scale the dose to the unit you are mixing. Add the powder to the coating and mix at low speed. The powder disperses easily, so no high speed or specialist mixing equipment is needed. Mix the full unit until the additive is evenly distributed, then decant.

APPLICATION

Apply the coating by its normal method and at its normal spreading rate. Stir the pot at regular intervals during application so the additive stays in suspension and the grip is even across the floor. Work in manageable bays and keep a wet edge. Add the additive to a clear sealer where you want an anti-slip finish without changing the appearance of the floor, or to a coloured coating where the colour must be kept.

STORAGE

Reseal the pack immediately after use and store it dry. Shelf life is 24 months in sealed packaging.
