KiwiGrip is a revolutionary, water-based non-skid coating. It is easily applied and extremely
durable when fully cured. KiwiGrip provides a beautiful, customizable texture and color that can be
applied over a variety of substrates.
After preparing the substrate, KiwiGrip is spread with a foam brush or notched trowel over the
application area. A roller is then used to provide the desired texture (no fillers or aggregates
needed). As the delivery agent (water) evaporates, the plastic acrylic resin will fuse together and
form a strong, durable non-skid coating. KiwiGrip is flexible after drying and effortlessly covers
minor imperfections in the substrate.

Unlike other non-skid systems that require sand or other media to provide texture, there are no
aggregates found in KiwiGrip. This feature provides several advantages for choosing KiwiGrip over
the “filler” based non-skid coatings:

• More consistent finished texture during application
• No "craters" due to the filler being released as the top coat wears away
• No crazing (surface cracks) or fractures due to flexing, expansion or contraction

As a homogeneous material, KiwiGrip doesn’t suffer from the problems encountered with products filled with sand, walnut shells, beads, rubber fleck, or other fillers. Coatings with fillers tend to wear through, allowing the fillers to fall out, leaving an unsafe deck that’s hard to clean and even harder to re-coat.

FEATURES

• PERFECT TEXTURE
  KiwiGrip allows you to achieve multiple different textures from the same paint simply by varying your application technique. Using the proprietary 4” roller that is supplied with every order of KiwiGrip will allow you to achieve a medium to aggressive textured finish. Should you wish for a less aggressive, decorative texture we recommend using a low shed 3/8” nap roller found at most hardware stores. Other factors to consider when perfecting your texture
  • dilute with water for milder texture
  • back roll for a heavier texture as desired.
  • As always, practise on a small sample area before proceeding with the entire project.
  • Remember that these low-texture finishes offer may minimize slip-resistance when wet.
  • Please refer to application instructions for further info.
• DURABLE
  • Once properly applied and fully cured you should expect to get 3-5 years in heavy foot traffic areas before any touch up is needed. Because there are no fillers, KiwiGrip will wear evenly  throughout its life and once touch up is needed simply clean the surface and re-apply  additional KiwiGrip to the desired texture.
  • Along with long lasting durability KiwiGrip has many low glare properties and extremely high UV stabilization contents. You will have a long lasting, beautiful and safe surface year after year.
• SUBSTRATES
  • KiwiGrip can be applied to a variety of different substrates or directly over old gel-coat or other non-skid surfaces.
  • Some substrates will require sealing first, as KiwiGrip is not a sealant. Surfaces that should be sealed first would include bare materials such as aluminum, concrete, steel and wood.
• COLOUR OPTIONS
  • KiwiGrip is available in 5 stock colours: white, light gray, light blue, cream and black.
  • Most colours (excluding black) were chosen for their low heat absorption.
  • KiwiGrip can also be custom tinted by adding a water-based colourant to the white KiwiGrip base. Please call for specific tinting  instructions.
• NON-TOXIC
  KiwiGrip is a water-based, acrylic non-skid coating that is non-toxic and releases no volatile  solvents and little to no odor during the application process.
