Jotafloor Non-Slip Coating

Maritime environments demand robust and reliable coatings to protect surfaces from corrosion, wear, and slip hazards. Jotafloor Non-Slip Coating is designed for critical areas such as decks, walkways, and tank interiors where safety and durability are paramount. This anti-slip coating offers a dry film thickness of 150 micrometers, ensuring consistent performance across various applications. The product’s coverage rate of 3-4 square meters per liter makes it efficient to apply, reducing the overall application time and material costs. For optimal results, it is crucial to adhere to specific inspection and maintenance protocols. Insufficient dry film thickness can compromise corrosion protection, necessitating periodic checks with a film thickness gauge. Adhesion issues, leading to delamination or peeling, should be assessed using cross-hatch adhesion tests, aiming for a Level 0 rating. Additionally, the coating must fully cure to achieve the desired hardness; this process typically takes seven days, during which it should reach at least an H grade in pencil hardness tests. Proper surface preparation is also essential for ensuring strong adhesion. Surfaces should be prepared to ISO 8501-1 Grade Sa 2½ or White-Metal standards, with a roughness of 30–85 micrometers. Holiday detection using spark testers can identify and rectify pinholes or other defects that could lead to localized corrosion. To maintain slip resistance over time, aggregate areas should be re-applied as needed. Keeping touch-up paint on board is recommended for quick repairs, along with anode replacement during docking to ensure ongoing protection.
