SlipSafe Anti-Slip Transparent Coating
Description

A clear, durable anti-slip coating designed to improve slip resistance on smooth flooring surfaces while maintaining the original appearance. Suitable for a range of internal and external applications where compliance with New Zealand slip-resistance standards is required without visual change.

Suitable Applications:

  • Internal and external surfaces
  • Polished and sealed concrete floors
  • Commercial and retail foyers
  • Bathrooms and wet areas
  • Stairwells and circulation spaces
  • Pool surrounds and change rooms
  • Education, healthcare and aged-care facilities
  • Public buildings and pedestrian access areas
  • Walkways and external zones
Key Features
  • Clear, transparent anti-slip coating that preserves surface appearance
  • Engineered to increase wet and dry slip resistance on both new & existing finished surfaces
  • Suitable for specification where visual integrity of architectural finishes must be maintained
  • Independently pendulum tested to NZS 4586 requirements for new surfaces
  • Designed for use in high foot-traffic commercial and public environments
  • Supports compliance documentation for consent and risk management purposes
Scope of Use
  • Suitable for use on existing smooth hard flooring surfaces in internal and external environments
  • Appropriate for commercial, public, and residential applications subject to slip-risk assessment
  • Designed to improve slip resistance to support P3-P5 classifications when tested in accordance with NZS 4586 — CSIRO certified
  • Suitable for wet and dry conditions, including entrances, circulation areas, and wet pedestrian zones
  • Public buildings, education facilities, and hospitality environments requiring improved slip resistance without altering surface appearance
  • Internal wet areas where aesthetics are critical, including bathrooms, change rooms, and spa facilities
  • Areas where the originally specified finish does not achieve the required slip resistance rating and remedial treatment is required to support compliance

Suitable Applications:

  • Internal and external surfaces
  • Polished and sealed concrete floors
  • Commercial and retail foyers
  • Bathrooms and wet areas
  • Stairwells and circulation spaces
  • Pool surrounds and change rooms
  • Education, healthcare and aged-care facilities
  • Public buildings and pedestrian access areas
  • Walkways and external zones
Limitations on Use
  • Compatibility with sealers, waxes, polishes, or surface treatments must be assessed; removal may be required prior to application
  • Application over existing coatings or sealers may affect adhesion and performance and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis
  • Ongoing performance is reliant on appropriate cleaning and maintenance practices
  • Chemical exposure outside normal pedestrian environments may reduce service life
Statement of Building Code Compliance

The SlipSafe Anti-Slip Transparent Coating, when specified, applied, and maintained in accordance with SlipSafe recommendations, is capable of contributing to compliance with the following New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) clauses:

  • D1 Access Routes: The coating is designed to improve slip resistance on pedestrian walking surfaces, supporting safe movement of people in wet and dry conditions.
  • B2 Durability: The coating is suitable for use in pedestrian environments and is expected to meet the durability requirements of NZBC Clause B2 when correctly applied and maintained.
  • F2 Hazardous Building Materials: The coating does not contain hazardous building materials at levels that would pose a risk to occupants when used as intended.
In-Service History

The SlipSafe Anti-Slip Transparent Coating has been used across New Zealand in commercial, public, and residential environments where improved slip resistance is required without altering surface appearance. It has been successfully applied in building entrances, lobbies, wet areas, pool surrounds, education facilities, and hospitality spaces on substrates including polished stone, tile, concrete, and glass.

The coating system, and equivalent transparent anti-slip technologies, have an established in-service history in comparable pedestrian environments both in New Zealand and internationally, with documented use over multiple years. Performance and service life are dependent on substrate condition, traffic intensity, environmental exposure, and maintenance practices, with ongoing slip performance verified through periodic testing where required.

Other Performance Attributes
  • Clear, transparent coating system designed to retain the original colour, tone, and visual character of the substrate
  • Non-yellowing formulation suitable for use on light-coloured and architectural finishes
  • Suitable for integration into risk-management and ongoing slip-testing programmes
