Marine Applications for Protectakote - The Tough Anti-slip Paints for Boats.

Protection from the elements and health & safety are both very important in applications involving boats. The extra grip that Protecta-kote gives coupled with its ability to protect the surface from water, salt, petrol, diesel and most solvents make it an excellent choice for:

Protectakote is a unique, advanced formula polyurethane coating that incorporates rubber granules to give a totally flexible anti-slip (non-slip) finish that will not chip, flake or peel. It can be easily applied to almost any surface including metal, wood (including marine ply), fibreglass, plastic and rubber leaving an attractive textured anti-slip finish that is resistant to impacts.

Unlike any other anti-slip paint Protectakote uses rubber granules so is non-abrasive yet still gives all the toughness of polyurethane. This means that it is ideal as deck paint where it is even comfortable to sit on. Due to its excellent adhesion properties it can also be used for wooden floors and decks in areas of heavy use and when combined with Duraprime can even be put onto oily woods (e.g. teak decks) or damp wooden surfaces.

Where there is going to be high exposure to UV light (boat decks), salt water or water pooling we recommend the use of Protectakote (UVR). This will give a greatly extended life in difficult conditions, greater colour stability and is even slightly tougher than the standard version. The UVR version is now available in White, Safety Yellow, Sand, Blue, Red, Green and mid grey. (Cream is due to be available in November 2006)

The Heskins aqua-safe range has a unique coating to ensure an effective non slip flooring yet has a smoother surface for walking bare foot on and no abrasion to prevent damage to skin, material or wet suits.  Antislip in a wet or marine environment has always been a challenge yet with Heskins aqua safe you can easily obtain a good non-slip flooring capability with our safety tape. The material can even be used in food safety areas, due to its lack of abrasive peaks and valleys and is a unique product. The product is ideal for any wet area or used as a marine tape.  It can be supplied in any format including shapes and rolls.
