COMING SOON! The U.S. Navy nomenclature for non-slip deck coatings or rapid-cure, slip-resistant coatings systems is simply non-skid.

   Non-skid coatings are a complex coating system containing aggregates which help provide a slip-resistant deck in walk areas or vehicle traffic areas and most importantly aviation decks. The requirements for this aggressive high-tech safety feature must meet the manufacturer’s specifications which gives required ranges by way of profile depth, wet film thickness, and dry film thickness minimums and maximums, allowable application ambient conditions, and also re-coat windows for any particular coating to ensure maximum coatings life longevity. 

Non-skid is a heavy aggregated polyamine epoxy that cannot be applied with traditional coating application methods.

This book provides guidance to contractors from surface preparation, primers and compounds, non-skid application, inspection, and non-skid failures and repair.
