Safety-Walk Anti-slip Peelable Coating 3500

3M has launched its Safety-Walk Anti-slip Peelable Coating 3500, which is claimed to be the first peelable floor coating to meet wet slip resistance standards with minimal reduction to floor gloss and clarity.

Developed by 3M Australia’s Commercial Solutions Division and patented globally, the water-based coating for vinyl, ceramic, terrazzo and other hard floor surfaces will allow contract cleaners and facility managers to improve floor safety in high-risk wet slip spaces such as entranceways, service corridors and bathroom wash basin areas.

The coating’s anti-slip properties are achieved using bead technology based on micronised organic polymer spheres, which create a non-abrasive micro-textured surface with good abrasion resistance, gloss control and aesthetics.

The peelable coating is easy to apply. When it needs to be replaced, it simply peels off and the floor is instantly available to re-coat. The coating has no harmful odour and conforms to grout lines with minimal change to floor gloss and clarity. It is also easy to clean, patch repairable and does not require water in application or removal.
