SkidGuard®

SkidGuard® is a slide protecting top coat over surfaces, requiring skid resistance. SkidGuard® forms a durable, hard, fully adhered, aggregate filled coating. SkidGuard® is ideal for trench plates, roofs, roads, playgrounds and walkways. It is available in 5 gallon pails and 54 gallon drums.

ADVANTAGES:

Adheres tenaciously after proper installation and curing. Rapid curing at modest temperatures leaving a traffic bearing surface in as few as two (2) hours. Fully cures in 12 hours above 55 F and dry. Resistant to scuffs, bacteria, algae and industrial pollutants. Air quality compliant throughout the US. Odor friendly. Asbestos free. Non hazardous in cured form; may be disposed of in any municipal landfill. May be spray applied in non textured form and squeegee applied when heavy aggregate filled. Available in many colors so as to blend with the surroundings. Use heavy aggregate mixture for roadways and the lighter aggregate mixture for walkways.


USES:

Designed for use as a wearing surface near building entries with inclined or smooth walkways that can become slick when dust or moisture is present.
Shop floors that have lubricant spills posing as a slip hazard. Steel Trench plat coverings for vehicular traffic. Large traffic stripe markings. Footpaths on built up roofs. Decks around pools and spas.

 

 

SkidGuard

APPLICATION:

SkidGuard® may be applied between 45 F and 115 F; must have a minimum curing time of 8 hours before temperature drops below 45 F. Apply over a clean, dry surface, free of unsound materials and/or contaminants. Do not allow to freeze prior to a full cure.

Prior to application over existing roof surfaces, repair all large splits, holes and/or ruptured blisters wherein the underlying piles have fractured or have been cut during repair.

Moisture can be present in surfaces like concrete for several days so allow 3-4 days after rain or sprinkler depositing before application. Also, it is advisable to apply material on concrete surfaces in no more than two thin applications so the concrete may breathe.

On metal surfaces reduce to a minimum rust, cutting lubricants or oxidation before application. Any cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed.

To assure homogeneity, stir SkidGuard® slowly and well before use. Some aggregates may settle during shipment but should easily disperse with a manual dowel or hand mixer. Avoid trapping excessive air in mixture to minimize pinholing. Apply as follows:

Over concrete or other porous surfaces: Roll or spray an even coat at a rate of 1-2 gallons per 100 square feet. A second application of 1 gallon or less per 100 square feet may follow once the first application is dry to the touch.

Over metal or non-porous surfaces: If heavy aggregate type is used, material should be roll applied with a tight nap roller and applied as a single pass. Multiple passes may displace the aggregate producing an irregular pattern.

Clean implements, including hoses with cool water immediately after using SkidGuard® may crosslink if left standing in sun exposed spray hoses.

STORAGE AND HANDLING:

Keep out of reach of children.
Do not allow to freeze prior to application.
Do not thin or mix with any other products.
Do not store near heat or open flame.
Avoid prolonged skin contact and breathing of vapor.
Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
Do not take internally. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed—call a physician immediately.
SkidGuard® can be stored for up to 12 months.
