Application Instructions:
Note that application procedures are virtually the same for both the aerosol and the bulk gallon liquid. First, properly prepare the surface in order to ensure the best possible adhesion of Traction Kote 400 non-slip floor coating to a hard surface. Any application requires a clean surface – no matter what the type of the surface material is. To create the proper profile, use a 60 to 100 grit sanding disc and lightly abrade the surface. Next, mask the area to be treated. By doing so, you’ll ensure a uniform finish that looks professional and also eliminate over-usage. Then, apply Traction Kote 400. If using the aerosol version, simply spray on. If using the bulk 1 gallon can, apply the paint with a 3/8 inch solvent-resistant roller. After applying, remove the masking tape immediately and let the coating dry completely before opening the area to traffic. Depending on the humidity and weather conditions at the time of application, it may take 4-6 hours to dry. (If closing an application area is not possible due to its constant flow of heavy traffic, consider doing a partial application. We’ve found that partial applications are very successful and allow non-slip coatings to be applied without blocking off entire areas.)
Application Instructions Based On Surface Type:
Over Painted Surfaces:
For proper adhesion, the existing coatings on any surfaces must be in good condition and free from any flaking and/or delamination prior to the application of Traction Kote 400.
Wood Surfaces:
Traction Kote 400 is not meant to be applied to green or uncured wood surfaces (with less than 90 days exposure to environment). This product may be applied to any cured wood surface.
Steel, Aluminum, Quarry Tile, Ceramic Tile, Porcelain, And Concrete Surfaces:
To insure proper adhesion, these surface types must be cleaned and abraded with a 80 or 100 grit sanding disc.
Asphalt Surfaces:
Traction Kote 400 is not meant to be applied to untreated asphalt. When applying to treated asphalt, note that the surface must first be primed with a water based (acrylic) primer.
Fiberglass Surfaces:
No special preparation is necessary when applying Traction Kote 400 to fiberglass surfaces. It will bond to all fiberglass without abrading, etc. All you have to do is simply clean thoroughly and apply.
