Non-slip, Non-skid Paint
Non-slip, Non-skid Paint is a group of 13 IMPA-coded items (codes 251231–251247) under Non-slip Paint in the Marine Paint section (IMPA 25). They are priced per can (12) and per litre (1).
Buying guide
Non-slip (non-skid) deck paint carries a grit aggregate that gives a slip-resistant finish. The IMPA lines in this group are alkyd-resin deck paints in reddish brown and green, in 20 kg and 24.6 kg packs.
It is used on walkways, mooring decks, ladders, platforms and the deck outside refrigerated rooms. The Code of Safe Working Practices calls for slip-resistant surfaces in transit areas where practicable, anti-slip treads or paint on mooring decks, and anti-slip surfaces outside the entrances to refrigerated rooms. The chief officer raises it with the deck paint order.[1]
How to specify it
State the resin type (alkyd here), colour, pack size and quantity, and the area to be coated. Name the existing deck coating system or its maker, because a non-slip topcoat must be compatible with what is already on the deck; if a particular brand and product are on the ship’s paint schedule, write them on the requisition.
Order thinner and application tools for the same product, and ask for the product and safety data sheets with the delivery.
Rules and certificates
The Code of Safe Working Practices: transit areas should have slip-resistant surfaces where practicable; mooring decks should have anti-slip surfaces provided by fixed treads or anti-slip paint; anti-slip surfaces should be applied on deck areas immediately outside refrigerated rooms. Its painting chapter says not to use paints containing lead, mercury or similarly toxic compounds, and to check the packaging information before starting.[1]
