TEXTURE additives are used to enhance the surface of high-performance resinous floor coating systems. These functional fillers are available in three unique chemistries, including: POLYPROPYLENE, ALUMINUM OXIDE, and QUARTZ.
POLYPROPYLENE
This texture additive is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer material used in floor coatings to provide texture, reduce surface reflection, and lessen the risk of slip and fall injuries. POLYPROPYLENE is nearly invisible when suspended in a clear coating, making it perfect for enhancing the surface texture and maintaining the color or pattern of a flooring project.
Application
Based on total weight of coating, mix 3-10% POLYPROPYLENE or approximately 4-12 ounces per gallon. Mix well for proper dispersion. Apply coatings as recommended by manufacturer.
Clear-Coated Quartz
Quartz granules are hard and strong making them ideal for use as an aggressive anti-slip additive in industrial and heavy-duty environments. QUARTZ can be applied by hand-broadcasting or troweling the material into a clear or pigmented coating.
Application
Hand-broadcasting is recommended for the smaller Q1000-40S (40 mesh, spherical) material and applied at a rate of 1 LB per 1-5 SF2. For the larger Q1000-25A (25 mesh, angular) material, trowel application is recommended at a rate of 1 LB per 1-5 SF2. A pigmented topcoat is recommended to achieve optimal durability and aesthetics. Apply coatings as recommended by manufacturer.
