As floor slip resistance testing experts in the USA, we can’t count how many times we’ve been asked to investigate the scene of a slip and fall injury that involved traffic paint, pavement striping paint, glossy paint on speed bumps, and red curb paint. These paints are almost always glossy so that they’ll last a bit longer, but that usually means they’re very slippery when wet, especially when they’re on a steep surface like a speed bump! These traffic paints have been the cause of countless injuries to innocent pedestrians in wet conditions.
These traffic paints used for speed bumps, red curbs, handicapped parking spaces, and other parking lot markings are regularly re-painted, but that doesn’t need to be the case, and these speed bumps and red curbs don’t need to be a dangerous slip hazard.
SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating is a clear, glossy, really long-lasting, and very anti-slip floor coating that sticks to absolutely any floor or road surface. It has UV protection, so red curb paint and speed bumps only need to be re-painted every decade or so. The amazing slip resistance of SparkleTuff™ means that speed bumps are no longer a slip hazard, and red curbs no longer need to be stripped and re-painted nearly as often.
You can see the reflection of the sun in the photo above, meaning this paint is glossy, and therefore almost certainly slippery when wet. That doesn’t need to be the case if this paint was coated with SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating. This revolutionary anti-slip floor (and road) coating makes traffic paint anti-slip, and protects the paint so it’ll last a whole lot longer.
SparkleTuff™ can also help remediate slippery pedestrian tactile surfaces like the one photographed above. These usually have some sort of anti-slip “bumps” or “nubs” on top of the surface, as seen below these large domes, but these “bumps” or “nubs” often wear down quickly, leaving a glossy slip hazard. Pedestrian tactile domes like these need to be replaced right away because they are a clear slip hazard when wet, but another option is the coat the tops of these domes with SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating. It lasts for ten years or more in many situations, you can drive forklifts over it, and it has UV protection to keep colors from fading.
A new generation in anti-slip floor coatings, SparkleTuff™ anti-slip roadway treatment is a polysiloxane. It never yellows or peels or cracks. It has stain and scratch resistance and can help save pedestrians from the slip and fall hazards that pedestrian tactile domes, red curbs, and traffic paints create in the USA.
There’s no need to paint your parking lot annually. These slippery, glossy paints can be preserved and made slip resistant by simply adding a thin coat of SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating on these slippery-when-wet paints. End the slip epidemic in the USA. SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor and Roadway Coating – looks great – no slips!
