What ALEXSEAL NON SKID FINE is and why choose it
ALEXSEAL Non Skid Fine A5003 is a solvent-free paint auxiliary developed to create fine non-skid textures on coated surfaces. Designed for professional industrial serial painting, it is added to ALEXSEAL Premium Topcoat 501 or Acrylic Topcoat X to provide transparent, anti-skid finishes where safer footing is required.
The product can be used alone as a fine additive or mixed with ALEXSEAL Non Skid Coarse A5007 to obtain customized levels of slip resistance, from subtle texture to a more aggressive non-skid surface.
