Description
Enhance the safety and longevity of your metal floors with Universal PU Enamel Anti-Slip Floor Paint, a premium single-pack polyurethane paint perfect for both home and industrial settings. Pre-mixed with an aggregate, this paint delivers a durable, rough, non-slip textured finish straight from the can—just stir thoroughly, and it’s ready to apply.
Designed to perform in a variety of environments, Universal PU Enamel is ideal for metal floors in homes, garages, workshops, factories, and other industrial spaces. Its tough, weather-resistant formula provides reliable performance in areas prone to moisture, spills, and light to medium foot traffic, making it a versatile solution for improving safety and durability. This paint does not have anti-corrosive properties, so for bare metal surfaces, it is essential to use our metal primer beforehand to ensure proper protection.
For the most cost-effective and easy application, start by applying a standard smooth paint as the first coat. After allowing it to dry for 12–24 hours, apply the second coat using the non-slip paint.
The built-in non-slip aggregate significantly reduces the risk of accidents by improving traction. However, it’s important to note that, like any painted surface, it may still become slippery when wet.

Application
Before starting, have your PPE ready, as our paint is oil-based and will not wash off easily with soap and water.
Ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; ventilation is also necessary to maintain drying times. Without air movement, the coating won’t dry properly.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Painting Over Existing Paint:
Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first.
Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:
- Ensure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint, it must be removed before painting.
- Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease.
Step 3 - Prime: This step is down to personal preference. Depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light one, you may want to add one coat of primer.
If bare metal is showing you will need to spot prime with our metal primer, if there is rust this will need removing and spot priming.
Step 4 - Topcoat: Once you have completed the previous steps, 12-24 hours after applying the primer, you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours before applying the second coat.
Two coats of top coat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Painting bare Metal
Step 1 - Clean and Prep: Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of any dirt, oil or grease. If there is any moisture on the substrate, it can cause delamination and lead to a loss of adhesion.
Step 2 - Prime:
Metal - If there is rust this will need removing and then priming with our High Build Zinc Phosphate Metal primer. If the substrate is exposed to harsh environmental factors, you can prime it with either Zinc Rich or our two-pack epoxy primer systems for optimal protection.
Step 3 - Top coat: Wait 12-24 hours after applying the primer before applying the first coat of topcoat. Then, after another 12-24 hours, apply the second coat.
Two coats of top coat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Mixing
Make sure to thoroughly stir the paint before application, as the aggregate can settle on the surface. If the non-slip component isn't mixed well, you'll end up with a thick concentration of it initially, causing uneven distribution—resulting in less non-slip texture as you use more of the paint.
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mixing should take place for 3-5 minutes.
- If you are adding thinners; they will need to be added once stirred.
