MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT STORAGE: Store product in an area so as to bring the material to normal room temperature before using. Continuous storage should be between 60 and 90 degree F. Keep from freezing.

SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface preparation will vary according to the type of complete system to be applied. For a one or two coat thin build system (3-10 mils dry) we recommend either mechanical scarification or acid etching until a suitable profile is achieved. For a complete system build higher than 10 mils dry, we recommend a fine brush blast (shot blast).

For an acid etch preparation we suggest our E760CE Muriatic Replacement as a safer alternative.

All dirt, oil, dust, foreign contaminants and laitance must be removed to assure a trouble free bond to the substrate. A test should be made to determine that the concrete has an appropriate vapor barrier. This can be done by placing a 4’ X 4’ plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate does not show signs of eventual hydrostatic pressure problems that may later cause disbonding. However, this product can be applied to a damp floor as long as there are no standing puddles.

PRODUCT MIXING: This product comes pre-packaged by weight. Kits should be mixed in their entirety. If partial kits are to be used, refer to the front of this technical data for proper weight mix ratios. After the two parts are combined, mix well with slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer until the material is thoroughly mixed and streak free. This product is an emulsion product and should be mixed well before using. Periodically, remix to insure aggregate distribution consistency. .

Improper mixing may result in product failure. For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer.

Use of an improper drill mixer can result in streaking of the color because the pigment has not been thoroughly blended.  It can also create curing problems if the hardener also called activator (Part B) is not thoroughly blended with the resin (Part A) which can cause some areas on your floor to remain soft and not harden properly.  DO NOT USE A PAINT MIXER.  Many mixing problems described above can be traced back to using a paint mixer..  DO NOT HAND MIX as this approach can also result in the same problems as using a paint mixer.

Do not drain or scrape out the final product remaining in mixing pails and pour onto the floor. There can be un-mixed resin on sides and bottom of pails, which can cause uncured soft spots on floor.  Change out roller covers and mixing pails periodically on larger projects to avoid build up of curing material.  After applying E1016 by squeegee or roller if any air bubbles appear you can immediately back-roll material with a plastic or metal porcupine roller which may form from outgassing or by mixing during application.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: The mixed material can be applied by brush or 3/8″ nap lint free epoxy roller. Maintain temperatures within the recommended ranges during the application and curing process. Apply material with relative humidity within the parameters shown on the technical data. When the end of the pot life has been reached, you will find that the material becomes hard to apply and will actually tend to roll back up onto the roller. Do not try to continue application when the coating has reached this step.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING: If you opt to recoat or topcoat this product, you must first be sure that all of the solvents and water have evaporated from the coating during the curing process. The information on the front side are reliable guidelines to follow. However, it is best to test the coating before recoating or topcoating refer to the cure schedule as a guideline to follow. This is done by pressing your thumb on the coating in multiple places to ensure a fingerprint impression is not visible. If there is no impression visible, then coating the floor can be done. Note, colder or hotter than 75 degrees can affect the curing time schedule  Before recoating or topcoating, check the coating to insure no epoxy blushes were developed (a whitish, greasy film or deglossing). If a blush is present, it must be removed prior to topcoating or recoating. Many epoxy overlays and coatings as well as urethanes are compatible for use as a topcoat for this product as well as multiple coats of this product.

CLEANUP: Use PM solvent.

FLOOR CLEANING: Caution! Some cleaners may affect the color of the floor installed. Test each cleaner in a small area, utilizing your cleaning technique. If no ill effects are noted, you can continue to clean with the product and process tested.

RESTRICTIONS: Restrict the use of the floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the floor remain dry for the full cure cycle. Dependent on actual complete system application, surface may be slippery, especially when wet or contaminated; keep surface clean and dry.

LIMITATIONS:

• Color may be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, chemical exposure or sodium vapor lighting.
• Product will yellow in the presence of UV light.
• For best results use a 1/4” nap roller
• Slab on grade requires moisture barrier.
• Substrate temperature must be 5 ° F above dew point.
• All new concrete must be cured for at least 30 days.
• Product color will vary from batch to batch. Therefore, use only product from the same batch for an entire job location.
• Light or bright colors (off white etc.) may require multiple coats or a topcoat to achieve a satisfactory hide, depending on the substrate.
• Physical properties listed on this technical data sheet are typical values and not specifications.
• See tab for application instructions.
• See Application tab for limitations of our liability and warranty

Fire Department Adds Safety and Color To Concrete Walkway With E1016 Anti-Slip Epoxy

What is E1016 anti-slip epoxy?

E1016 is a water-based, two-component anti-slip epoxy coating designed to create a textured, slip-resistant surface similar to a tennis court. It includes a built-in aggregate that provides traction while maintaining a clean, uniform finish.

What does a “tennis court-like surface” mean?

A tennis court-style surface means:

• Slightly textured (not rough like sandpaper)
• Comfortable for barefoot or athletic use
• Provides consistent traction without being abrasive
• Easy to clean compared to heavy broadcast systems

This makes it ideal for environments where people—not vehicles—are the primary traffic.

Where is E1016 anti-slip epoxy commonly used?

E1016 is designed for foot traffic areas where slip resistance matters most, including:

• Locker rooms & gyms
• Walkways and pedestrian areas
• Patios & outdoor entertaining spaces
• Kennels or animal areas
• Light-duty commercial floors

It is NOT recommended for heavy wheeled traffic like forklifts or vehicle traffic.

Is this coating safe when wet?

Yes. The integrated aggregate creates a slip-resistant surface even when wet, helping reduce falls in high-moisture environments.

Anti-slip epoxy works by adding texture (via aggregate) to increase friction, which significantly improves traction compared to smooth coatings.

Is E1016 safe for bare feet?

Yes—this is one of its biggest advantages.
Unlike aggressive non-skid coatings, E1016 provides:

• Comfortable feel underfoot
• Reduced risk of abrasions
• Ideal for barefoot traffic (pool decks, locker rooms, etc.)

How many colors are available?

E1016 offers 20+ color options plus clear, including:

• Light gray, medium gray, dark gray and charcoal gray
• Off white and white
• Beige, tan, caramel tan, fazor tan and brown
• Green, light blue, and tile red
• Safety Red, Safety Yellow and Traffic Yellow

This allows you to match branding, safety zones, or outdoor aesthetics.

How long do you have to work with the product?

E1016 has a long working time (pot life) of 1 to 1.5 hours, giving installers:

• More flexibility for larger areas
• Easier application compared to fast-curing coatings
• Reduced risk of lap lines

How durable is E1016?

E1016 offers:

• Good abrasion resistance for foot traffic
• Chemical resistance to common cleaners and spills
• Strong adhesion to properly prepared concrete

However, it is designed for light-to-moderate duty, not industrial vehicle traffic. For best product recommendation for YOUR project reach out to us at 630-675-4509 or [email protected].

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes—with considerations:

• Performs well on exterior concrete
• Will yellow over time with UV exposure (common with epoxies)

👉 For improved UV stability, apply a urethane topcoat like E322HW High Gloss Aliphatic Urethane.

What is the coverage rate?

• Approximately 320- 500 sq ft per gallon depending on surface profile and thickness

For quantity recommendations for your project, reach out to us at 630-675-4509 or [email protected].

How long does it take to cure?

Typical cure times:

• Dry to touch: 3- 5 hours
• Recoat: 5-9 hours
• Light foot traffic: 14–24 hours
• Full cure: 3- 5days

Note: Application temperature is 45f-90F. Hotter or lower temperatures will affect cure schedule. For additional application tips, reach out to us at 630-675-4509 or [email protected].

What surface prep is required?

Proper prep is critical:

• Concrete should be clean, dry, and profiled
• Methods include acid etching, grinding, or shot blasting
• Remove all oils, dirt, and contaminants

Good prep = long-term performance.

Can E1016 be applied over existing floors?

Yes, with the right primer:

• Works over VCT, tile, vinyl, or adhesives
• Use a compatible primer like Perfect Primer for difficult substrates

Do I need a topcoat?

Optional, but recommended if you want:

• Better UV resistance
• Enhanced chemical resistance
• Longer lifespan

What makes E1016 different from other anti-slip coatings?

Key advantages:

• Tennis court-style texture (comfortable + safe)
• Water-based (lower odor, easier application)
• Long working time (installer-friendly)
• Wide color selection
• Designed specifically for pedestrian safety vs. heavy industrial use

Is this better than adding sand to epoxy?

Yes—for many applications.
Instead of manually broadcasting sand:

• E1016 has pre-engineered aggregate distribution
• Provides consistent texture and appearance
• Avoids overly rough or uneven finishes

Who should choose E1016?

E1016 is ideal if you need:

• A safe, non-slip walking surface
• A decorative colored coating
• A barefoot-friendly texture
• A tennis court-style finish
