Additional Data
SKID-EX™ is a polymeric grit designed as an anti-skid, anti-slip material. It will mix easily in all types of latex floor paints and stains. It can be used as a texturizer in paints. It is designed to help prevent slips and falls.
It will not change the color or property of the product to which it is added when in compliance with the manufacturer’s proportion specifications. It can be used in clear coats. Color is white but turns clear in dispersion.
It’s low density and specific gravity greatly reduces settling in paints and stains.
A good anti-slip profile can be achieved with as low as 7 to 8 ounces per gallon of latex product. It has sized grit ranging from 40 to 60 mesh particle size.
SKID-EX™ can be added to paints and stains before application to floors, patios, pool decks, walkways, stairways, ramps, ladders, wet areas and marine uses.

People Also Ask
SKID-EX™ is a polymeric anti-skid additive that mixes into latex paints, stains, and clear coatings to help create a slip-resistant surface. It is commonly used on floors, patios, pool decks, walkways, stairs, ramps, docks, and other areas where additional traction is desired. While it helps reduce slipping, no coating can completely eliminate slip hazards.
SKID-EX™ is white in its dry form but becomes clear when dispersed into the coating. It is designed to have minimal impact on the color of your paint or clear finish while creating a visible textured surface that improves traction. Testing a small area first is always recommended to ensure the desired appearance.
The recommended amount is 8 ounces per gallon of paint or stain for most applications. For a finer or more aggressive texture, you can adjust the amount to suit your project, but do not exceed 20 ounces per gallon. Stir thoroughly before and during application to keep the additive evenly distributed.
Yes. SKID-EX™ is specifically designed to work well in clear coatings, sealers, and clear finishes, making it an excellent choice when you want to improve slip resistance without significantly changing the appearance of the underlying surface. It is also compatible with most latex paints and stains.
SKID-EX™ can be added to coatings used on a wide variety of surfaces, including concrete, wood, patios, pool decks, walkways, stairways, ramps, ladders, and many marine applications. Always follow the surface preparation and application instructions for the paint or coating you are using and test a small area before completing the full project.
