Anti-Slip Deck Gelcoat

In StockSample available

Key Features

  • Integral anti-slip aggregate for durable non-skid performance
  • R11–R12 wet slip resistance (DIN 51130)
  • Texture retained after repeated wet abrasion cycles
  • Pre-accelerated for MEKP cure
  • Available in marine deck-appropriate colors (gray, white, sand)

This anti-slip deck gelcoat is an orthophthalic polyester gelcoat incorporating fine aggregate particles (typically aluminum oxide or quartz grit at 80–150 µm) uniformly dispersed throughout the matrix to provide a textured, non-skid surface for marine decks, walkways, steps, and any FRP surface requiring slip resistance. The anti-slip texture is integral to the gelcoat — not an applied coating on top — providing durable slip resistance that does not wear away with foot traffic or cleaning. Wet slip resistance classification is R11–R12 (DIN 51130). Available in gray, white, and sand beige colors suitable for marine deck and outdoor flooring applications. Pre-accelerated with cobalt, gel time 20–35 min at 20°C with 1.5% MEKP. Barcol hardness 38–44 post-cure. The texture profile is maintained after 200+ wet abrasion test cycles. Suitable for spray application with a wide-bore spray gun (1.8–2.5 mm tip) or roller application. Anti-slip gelcoat should not be polished — maintain texture as-molded.

FAQ

The aggregate particles require a wider spray tip than standard gelcoat. Use a conventional spray gun with a 1.8–2.5 mm fluid tip and adjust air pressure to 3–4 bar to atomize the gelcoat uniformly without separating the aggregate. Alternatively, roller apply with a medium-nap (10–12 mm) roller to achieve uniform texture distribution. Keep the product agitated in the pot to prevent aggregate settling during application.
