{"product_id":"watco-protectacoat-anti-slip","title":"Watco Protecta-Coat Anti Slip","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatco Protecta-Coat Anti Slip is a clear polyaspartic floor coating with a finely textured finish for areas that need durable protection and improved grip. It helps protect compatible coloured and decorative coatings from wear while leaving the underlying finish visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable applications include prepared warehouse and showroom floors, walk-in fridges and exterior working areas. The two part resin system is supplied with fine grit and can be applied in cold conditions when the surface is dry and the product is mixed at the specified temperature. Its UV and weather resistance make it useful outdoors, while the textured finish provides an alternative to the smooth standard Protecta-Coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear protective coating with included anti-slip aggregate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for compatible concrete and well-bonded paint systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior and exterior use, including low-temperature application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechanically prepare existing paint to a uniformly rough profile and remove weak material. Sweep thoroughly, degrease as needed, rinse and let the surface dry completely. New concrete normally needs about eight weeks to dry. Prime porous and high-suction concrete with the specified Polyaspartic Primer system. Power floated concrete needs specialist preparation and priming; do not apply directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5L resin system with included fine grit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear, textured, glossy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo part polyaspartic resin and aggregate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication \/ mixing range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10°C to 30°C \/ mix at 10–25°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePot life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 20 minutes at 20°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShelf life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months unopened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately 30m² per 2.5L on a suitable non-porous surface (12m²\/L). Porous, textured or very cold surfaces may reduce coverage. Apply one thin, even coat so the aggregate texture remains effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore material warm at 15–25°C for at least eight hours before use. Stir the resin and curing agent separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine the complete components and included fine grit. Mix thoroughly, scraping the sides and base, and do not dilute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer all mixed material to a shallow tray. Apply with a short pile roller; periodically agitate the tray to keep grit evenly distributed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing the technical sheet for planning at 20°C, allow six hours before recoating, eight hours for light traffic and sixteen hours for heavy traffic. Full chemical resistance takes seven days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLimitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe substrate must be dry and free of ice. Do not apply when rain is imminent. Excessive film thickness can reduce the slip-resistant texture and cause curing problems. Improved grip still depends on cleaning and control of contamination. Trial compatibility with existing coatings, and obtain advice before coating self-levelling compounds. Low temperatures extend curing substantially; use the temperature-specific technical guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the anti-slip aggregate supplied?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
