Traditional Epoxy Non Skid Paint
Removal is noisy, dirty, and time consuming
Speciality tools and expereince needed for required surface prep
Primer must dry and remain clean until epoxy is applied
Epoxy has a long cure time
Narrow limits for temperature and humidity
Areas must be secured for days, preventing other work in the area
Rework due to someone stepping on the primer or wet nonskid is common
Temporary ventilation needed for interior applications
No protection to deck from corrosion – can cause accelerated corrosion
Significant quantities of hazardous material must be stored
The key advantage of Silvagrip nonskid over epoxy nonskid is that our peel & stick has none of the associated costs and constraints associated with applying traditional epoxy nonskid or removing it.
