Non-Slip Deck Coating

Helps Prevent Falls

Aboard Rigs And Ships

Epoxo, a non-slip safety coat- ing that helps prevent hazardous slips and falls on offshore rigs and aboard ship is now available from American Abrasive Metals

Company. Designed for a high- profile, heavy-duty traction,

Epoxo was originally developed for use by the United States

Navy. The coating has been used on the flight decks of all aircraft carriers since 1962, and has been effective in protecting aircraft, personnel, and rolling equipment even during the most rigorous operations.

The unique combination of res- ins utilized in Epoxo form a bond when cured, which is said to re- sult in a superior slip-resistant surface impervious to water, oil, grease, and most chemicals. A tough resin binder locks in the granules, which cannot be loos- ened or kicked out. Epoxo is a liquid that applies like paint to any type of surface. But it is a coating, not a paint. The coating is recommended for use on ex- posed weather decks, storage areas, passageways, work areas, and the wet, slippery decks of offshore oil rigs. The coating also helps prevent injury to person- nel and damage to aircraft on helicopter landing pads.
