  • Industrial floors and workshops
  • Service areas
  • Loading docks and access ramps
  • Stair treads and pedestrian ramps
  • External walkways and entry zones
  • High-risk slip environments requiring maximum traction
  • Schools, education facilities and circulation areas
Key Features
  • Rubberised, flexible anti-slip coating system
  • Textured finish designed to improve wet and dry slip resistance
  • Provides a softer, resilient underfoot feel compared to rigid coatings
  • Suitable for internal and external pedestrian environments
  • Water-based formulation suitable for on-site application
  • Compatible with a range of substrates
  • Designed for use in high-use pedestrian areas requiring enhanced traction
  • Supports independent slip testing in accordance with NZS 4586
Scope of Use
  • Suitable for use on existing pedestrian surfaces in internal and external environments
  • Designed to support P4-P5 when tested in accordance with NZS 4586
  • Appropriate for commercial, public, and residential pedestrian areas subject to site-specific slip-risk assessment
  • Recommended for ramps, stairs, walkways, decks, and access routes requiring enhanced traction and comfort
  • Suitable for wet areas, exposed external locations, and areas subject to regular weathering
  • Final slip classification to be confirmed by independent post-installation testing

Suitable Applications:

  • Industrial floors and workshops
  • Service areas
  • Loading docks and access ramps
  • Stair treads and pedestrian ramps
  • External walkways and entry zones
  • High-risk slip environments requiring maximum traction
  • Schools, education facilities and circulation areas
Limitations on Use
  • Substrates must be structurally sound, clean, and dry prior to application
  • Not suitable for loose, friable, or moisture-compromised substrates without remediation
  • Compatibility with existing coatings, membranes, or sealers must be assessed prior to application
  • Excessive chemical exposure or abrasive cleaning may reduce service life

  • B2 Durability: The coating is suitable for pedestrian environments and is expected to meet the durability requirements of NZBC Clause B2 when correctly applied and maintained.
  • F2 Hazardous Building Materials: When used as intended, the coating does not contain hazardous building materials at levels that would pose a risk to occupants.
In-Service History

The Anti-Slip RubberGrip Coating has been applied globally in pedestrian environments including ramps, stairs, decks, and external walkways. Rubberised anti-slip coating systems have an established history of use internationally in exposed and high-risk pedestrian areas where flexibility, grip, and durability are required.

Other Performance Attributes
  • Flexible system accommodates minor substrate movement
  • Textured finish provides consistent traction in wet conditions
  • Suitable for integration into accessibility and slip-risk management strategies
  • Provides improved underfoot comfort compared to hard-textured coatings
