What NON SLIP ADDITIVE is and why choose it
NON SLIP ADDITIVE from International Náutica is a synthetic granular material designed to create a reliable anti-slip finish on painted surfaces. It can be mixed directly into the finishing paint or sprinkled onto fresh, wet paint, providing extra grip without altering curing times or the normal application process of the coating.
Main features

- Can be mixed into the finish coat or broadcast onto wet paint.
- Provides an effective non-slip texture on the painted surface.
- Does not affect the drying or curing times of the paint.
- Allows paint application by brush, roller or conventional spray as usual.
- Compatible with all International finishes.
- 100% solids by volume and 0 g/L VOC.
- Supplied in 23 g sachets (pack of 12).

Applications and uses
NON SLIP ADDITIVE is suitable for improving grip on any painted surface where additional traction is needed. It is particularly useful in areas that become wet or where extra safety underfoot is required.
Surface preparation
- All substrates must be clean, dry and free from contamination before application.
Application by mixing into the finish
- Add NON SLIP ADDITIVE to the chosen finish coat.
- Stir thoroughly until the granules are evenly dispersed.
- Apply the paint by brush, roller or conventional spray, following the instructions of the finish coat.
The amount of additive used can be adjusted depending on the level of texture and anti-slip effect desired.
Application by broadcasting onto wet paint
- Apply a uniform coat of the chosen finish.
- While the paint is still wet, distribute NON SLIP ADDITIVE using a suitable dispenser or any other method that ensures even spreading.
- Allow the coating to dry according to the finish manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Once dry, remove any loose excess additive from the surface.
FAQ
1. What is the main function of NON SLIP ADDITIVE?
It is a synthetic granular additive that creates a non-slip texture on painted surfaces when mixed into the paint or sprinkled onto wet paint.

4. How much product should I add to the paint?
The dosage depends on the level of anti-slip texture required. Increase the amount for a more aggressive texture and reduce it for a finer finish.
5. On which paints can I use NON SLIP ADDITIVE?
It is compatible with all International finishes.
6. What is the coverage?
The theoretical spreading rate is about 10 m² per litre, typically 8–12 m²/L when spread manually, depending on the desired texture and application method.
7. What colour is the additive?
It is supplied in white (code YMA905).
8. Does the product contain VOCs?
No. The VOC content is 0 g/L.
9. How is the product packaged?

Section 14 – Transport information
- UN number / ID: Not regulated for transport (ADR/RID, IMDG, IATA).
- Official transport name: Not regulated.
- Transport hazard class: Not applicable.
- Packing group: Not applicable.
- Environmental hazards: Not classified as hazardous for the environment in transport.
- Bulk transport according to IMO instruments: Not applicable.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
The following personal protective equipment and hygiene measures are recommended when handling NON SLIP ADDITIVE, especially in professional or industrial environments:
General hygiene measures
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where the product is handled, stored or processed.
- Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet, and at the end of each work shift.
- Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
- Keep eye-wash stations and safety showers close to the work area.
Eye and face protection
- Use safety goggles with side protection that comply with approved standards when there is a risk of splashes, dust or aerosols reaching the eyes.
Hand protection
- When a risk assessment indicates it is necessary, wear chemical-resistant, impermeable gloves meeting relevant standards.
- For all types of exposure, gloves with protection class 2 or higher (breakthrough time > 30 minutes according to EN 374) are recommended.
- Recommended glove material: nitrile, with a minimum thickness of approximately 0.12 mm.
- Replace gloves regularly and whenever signs of damage or degradation are observed.
Skin and body protection
- Wear suitable protective clothing such as coveralls, selected according to the specific task and associated risks.
- Use appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection required, as determined by a risk assessment.
Respiratory protection
- Under normal use, adequate general ventilation is usually sufficient.
- If risk assessment shows that airborne dust or particles may be generated (for example, during dry sanding or mechanical abrasion of coated surfaces), use a suitable certified particulate dust mask.
- Respiratory protective equipment must form part of a properly implemented respiratory protection program, ensuring correct selection, fitting and training.
Environmental exposure controls
- Check emissions from ventilation systems and process equipment to ensure compliance with environmental legislation.
- Where necessary, use filters, scrubbers or process modifications to keep emissions at acceptable levels and to prevent release to drains, waterways and soil.
