Spray resin slip rating explained

Spray resin has a P5 slip rating. Shieldcoat’s Step Safe Heavy Duty is rated P5, the top rating, so a spray resin driveway, path or pool surround stays grippy even when it’s wet.

What does the slip rating mean?

Slip ratings for floors run from P0 to P5, and the higher the number, the more grip underfoot when it’s wet. P5 is as high as it goes. On a spray resin floor the grip comes from the sprayed texture of Step Safe Heavy Duty itself, not from something sprinkled on top.

Is spray resin slippery when wet?

No. That’s the difference you notice outside. A glossy epoxy gets slippery when it’s wet, and that’s one of the reasons epoxy belongs inside. Spray resin is built for the places that get wet: pool surrounds, driveways and paths.

What about sealers?

A coloured sealer on its own is smooth. With Shieldcoat’s Anti-Slip additive stirred into the final coat, Concreshield gets a P4 slip rating. For the full P5, that’s spray resin.
