Description
Universal PU Enamel - Anti-Slip Floor Paint for Concrete Floors
Enhance the safety and durability of your concrete floors with Universal PU Enamel Anti-Slip Floor Paint is a premium single-pack polyurethane paint designed for areas prone to moisture or spills. Pre-mixed with an aggregate, this paint delivers a rough, textured, non-slip finish directly from the can—simply stir thoroughly, and it’s ready to use.
Perfect for a wide range of indoor and outdoor concrete applications, Universal PU Enamel provides superior grip to help reduce the risk of slips and falls. Its tough, weather-resistant formula ensures long-lasting performance, even in high-moisture environments or areas with light to medium foot traffic.
For the most cost-effective and easy application, start by applying a standard smooth paint as the first coat. After allowing it to dry for 12–24 hours, apply the second coat using the non-slip paint.
The built-in non-slip aggregate significantly reduces the risk of accidents by improving traction. However, it’s important to note that, like any painted surface, it may still become slippery when wet.
About This Item
- NEW 3-IN-1 TECHNOLOGY: When painting concrete it primes, seals and protects with just two coats. For bare concrete we recommend thinning the first coat by 20% with T0001 thinners, which acts as the primer/sealer.
- NON SLIP: This paint includes an aggregate mixed in, providing a rough textured finish that reduces the risk of slips.
- SUITABLE SUBSTRATES: Concrete.
- DRYING TIME: Touch dry in 2-4 hours, overcoat in 12-24 hours, full protection properties after 7 days, but the area can be walked on after 4 days.
- COVERAGE: Approximately 8 square metres per litre. This does not account for the method of application, absorption of substrate or wastage.
- APPLICATION: Apply by brush or solvent-resistant medium pile rollers.
- THINNERS: T0001 White Spirit.
- SHELF LIFE: 12 months.

Application
Before starting, have your PPE ready, as our paint is oil-based and will not wash off easily with soap and water.
Ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; ventilation is also necessary to maintain drying times. Without air movement, the coating won’t dry properly.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Painting Over Existing Paint:
Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first.
Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:
- Ensure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint, it must be removed before painting.
- Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease.
Step 3 - Prime: This step is down to personal preference. Depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light one, you may want to add one coat of primer.
Step 4 - Topcoat: Once you have completed the previous steps, 12-24 hours after applying the primer, you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours before applying the second coat.
Painting bare Concrete
Step 1 - Clean and Prep: Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease. If there is any moisture in the substrate, it can cause delamination and lead to a loss of adhesion.
Step 2 -First Coat: For the first coat, we recommend using the standard smooth concrete Paint, as it’s easier to apply than the non-slip version. Thin the first coat by 20% with T0001 White Spirit to ensure the paint impregnates the concrete, this will act as the primer/sealer.
If you prefer to use the Non-Slip Paint for the first coat, the same 20% thinning applies.
Step 3 - Top coat: 12-24 hours after applying the first coat, you can apply the second coat of topcoat. Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Primers
Concrete: No primer is required, we recommend thinning the first coat by 20% to ensure it impregnates the substrate, this will act as the primer/sealer.
Mixing
Make sure to thoroughly stir the paint before application, as the aggregate can settle on the surface. If the non-slip component isn't mixed well, you'll end up with a thick concentration of it initially, causing uneven distribution—resulting in less non-slip texture as you use more of the paint.
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mixing should take place for 3-5 minutes.
- If you are adding thinners; they will need to be added once stirred.
