Product Description
Coo-Var Anti-Slip Step & Ramp Paint is a water based paint for use on steps and ramps. It provides a durable and hard wearing finish to the surface, as well as an anti-slip finish that makes the surface low risk in wet and dry conditions.
This paint is ideal for raised entrances, where steps and ramps are used often and are exposed to the weather. The anti-slip texture makes these areas safer to use in wet conditions. The range of brighter colours can be used to mark the edges of steps or other potentially hazardous areas. The paint is also available in grey and black in order to compliment concrete surfaces.
Touch dry in 1 hour and hard dry in 2 hours. Leave 6 hours before overcoating.
Apply by Brush or Roller

Surface Preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants. Concrete – power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good “key” for the paint. This can be done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically, using Coo-Var Acid Etch.
These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance. New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months. Other surfaces have to be prepared and primed with the suitable primer for that substrate.
Existing painted surfaces – Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate “key” is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as new substrate and prepare.

Ian –
I would recommend this paint. It covered well in two coats and was much nicer to work with than a solvent-based floor paint. I like the matt finish. After a couple of months of being walked on, it is still firmly stuck to my concrete doorstep with no obvious signs of wear, so fingers crossed for the longer term.
