Home » Blog » National Sealing has a Proprietary Non Slip Application

National Sealing has a proprietary non-slip application and mobilizes throughout the US and abroad with our durable anti-slip process. No other coating process can claim the unique product features and benefits that National Sealing’s coating offers. A coating that will withstand the damaging effects of chemical abuse, abrasion, and ablation, intense heat, ultra-violet light exposures and corrosive degradation.

This is an example of a 5-star hotel that has recently been renovated. The high-end Presidential Suite had porcelain tile that was very slippery. National Sealing was contracted to provide our proprietary non-slip application.

There are two components to a non-slip application. The first component is what material is being used to adhere to the substrate. Common ‘sealers’ will not adhere to surfaces such as ceramic, porcelain, terrazzo, VCT, and various other surfaces. All sealers are temporary and typically will last 1-2 years. National Sealing uses a 3-part ‘coating’ process vs. a sealer. Our durable coating is mixed on site, and has hardeners that allow our coating to ‘grip’ to various surfaces that a sealer cannot.

The second phase of an anti-slip application is: what media is used as an aggregate to create the non-slip profile? A novice applicator would use over-the-counter products made of very light, brittle silica. Others attempt common play sand. Whereas these aggregates will create a non-slip profile, due to the soft materials, they are VERY temporary. The tops of the embedded media wear out and are shaved off. Re-application then becomes an issue when using the sealer/light aggregate method, as layering sealers is not advised. The sealers can dislodge, flake, or peel. Each subsequent layer becomes less stable. This creates another future problem of then having to strip the brittle layers of Sealers. National Sealing specializes in non-slip applications and has durable nano beads manufactured exclusively for National Sealing. These durable beads complement our durable three-part coating to provide a non-slip application unmatched by any company in the U.S.A.

  • Three-part coating process versus mono-component sealer for durable adhesion to challenging surfaces
  • Common sealers need constant re-application. The coating process is much more durable
  • Durable non-slip media for long-term anti-slip protection compared to brittle over-the-counter non-slip additives.

There exists no other company in the US that has access to, or applies our coatings, other than National Sealing’s trained applicators.

National Sealing Company specializes in commercial properties that are exposed to high pedestrian traffic and, therefore, exposed to litigation. Typically, the cost of our application is less than what the attorney’s fee would be, aside from what damages are awarded. Our durable non-slip application is the most prudent and durable anti-slip application that exists. The legal position could then be that the establishment has done everything humanly possible to ensure a proper footing. National Sealing has demonstrated great success with condominiums, hotels, stadiums, office buildings, and municipalities in protecting those businesses from possible litigation.
