Anti-Slip Safety Epoxy Flooring Systems in Qatar
Calibrated textured resin floor coatings engineered to prevent slips, trips, and falls in wet, oily, and high-incline industrial and commercial environments across Qatar.
Technical Performance Metrics
Certified Slip-Resistant Flooring for Wet & Oily Environments
Slip and fall accidents in industrial workshops, food preparation kitchens, and vehicle wash bays represent a major liability. Our anti-slip epoxy systems encapsulate ceramic-coated quartz or fused aluminum oxide aggregates to deliver guaranteed traction even under water or oil film.
Customizable Slip Resistance (R9 to R13)
We tailor the aggregate size (from 0.3mm fine sand to 1.2mm coarse aluminum oxide) to deliver the exact balance of traction and cleanability required for your facility.
- • Complies with DIN 51130
- • Pendulum Test Value > 36 wet
- • Safe for wet shoe soles and tires
Steep Vehicular Ramps & Loading Bays
Heavy-grit textures prevent vehicle tire slippage on parking garage helical ramps, delivery dock inclines, and exterior washdown zones.
- • High tire grip in rain/water
- • Withstands heavy braking torque
- • Resists tire squeal
Hygienic & Cleanable Safety Profiles
Unlike bare concrete with sharp pores that trap grease, our textured systems are fully encapsulated with impervious resin seal coats, allowing easy pressure washing.
- • Non-porous hygienic matrix
- • Resistant to caustic washdowns
- • No dirt entrapment
Slip Resistance Certification & Testing Data
Tested in accordance with British and German safety standards for wet commercial and industrial environments.
| Parameter | Standard Test | Engineering Value | Operational Relevance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slip Resistance (Wet Conditions) | BS 7976-2 (Pendulum Test) | PTV 45 – 65 (Extremely Low Slip Potential) | Maintains safe pedestrian grip even when flooded with water or soap solutions. |
| Ramp Angle Oil-Wet Test | DIN 51130 | R11 to R13 Rating | Suitable for commercial kitchens, automotive service bays, and slaughterhouses. |
| Aggregate Types | Mineral Formulations | Graded Silica Quartz / Fused Aluminum Oxide | Mohs Hardness 7 to 9 for exceptional wear resistance under heavy foot and tire traffic. |
| Compressive Strength | ASTM C579 | 75 – 85 N/mm² | Withstands heavy forklift and pallet jack wheel loads without crushing aggregates. |
| Bond Strength to Concrete | ASTM D4541 | > 2.8 MPa (Concrete Failure) | Guarantees the broadcast layer will not shear off the slab under heavy vehicle braking. |
Slip Hazards Specific to Qatar Industrial Facilities
Local operational conditions generate unique slip hazards that demand engineered surface textures.
High Humidity Condensation
Extreme outdoor humidity entering air-conditioned warehouses or basements produces flash moisture condensation on smooth floors, turning them into ice rinks.
Automotive Oil & Grease Spillage
Automotive workshops and machine shops suffer daily spills of low-viscosity motor oils and transmission fluids that create severe fall hazards.
Sand Ingress On Smooth Ramps
Dry desert sand blowing onto polished concrete ramps acts like ball bearings under car tires and pedestrians.
The Full-Broadcast Aggregate Encapsulation Process
To prevent aggregates from kicking out over time, we use a full broadcast-to-rejection methodology that permanently anchors every grain.
Shot Blasting Concrete Profiling (CSP 3)
Opening the concrete aggregate structure to provide deep anchoring keys for the heavy broadcast resin layer.
Moisture-Tolerant Base Primer
Applying 100% solids epoxy primer to penetrate and seal the concrete slab against moisture vapor.
High-Build Epoxy Receiver Coat
Spreading an unfilled, flexible 100% solids epoxy receiver layer at 1.0mm to 1.5mm thickness to accept the mineral aggregates.
Aggregate Broadcast to Complete Rejection
Broadcasting dried, washed silica quartz or aluminium oxide until the wet resin is completely saturated and dry sand remains on top.
Rejection Sand Sweep & Vacuuming
After initial cure (12 hours), sweeping and high-power vacuuming all excess unbound sand to leave an even, dense aggregate carpet.
High-Wear Resin Topcoat Lock
Applying one or two coats of pigmented polyurethane or clear epoxy wear sealer to encapsulate aggregates and seal all porosity.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Detailed engineering answers regarding application parameters, substrate preparation, durability standards, and maintenance in Qatar.
We calibrate the texture to your cleaning method. A very aggressive R13 texture is best cleaned with automatic scrubber-driers or high-pressure washers, while an R10/R11 fine texture can be easily cleaned with standard micro-fiber mops and squeegees.
No. When installed using our broadcast-to-rejection method, the aggregates are fully embedded into the high-tensile epoxy body layer and locked with polyurethane topcoats. The silica quartz (Mohs 7) and aluminum oxide (Mohs 9) have higher hardness than steel, ensuring years of wear resistance.
Yes. Car park ramps, spiral helical ramps, and turning bays require high-traction coatings. We install heavy-duty multi-layer quartz broadcast systems that stop tire squealing, prevent slipping in wet weather, and withstand heavy braking loads.
