What is Slip Resistant Resin Flooring?
Slip resistant flooring is designed to improve traction and reduce slips in areas with moisture, oils, or contaminants. In resin systems, the slip resistance comes not from the resin itself but from added aggregates like quartz or aluminium oxide, which create a textured surface.
Greater amounts and coarser aggregates increase slip resistance, allowing it to be tailored from light foot traffic to heavily contaminated environments. Performance is measured using standard tests, rated as R9 to R13 under DIN 51130 or by Pendulum Test Values under BS 7976.
Why Should You Choose Resin When Choosing a Slip Resistant Floor?
Resin-based solutions offer exceptional versatility because slip resistance can be precisely engineered during installation. By varying aggregate type, size, and coverage, you can achieve anything from R10 to R13 ratings in a single system.
The seamless, impervious nature means there are no grout lines where contaminants can harbour, and the surface remains easy to clean despite its texture. Epoxy flooring slip resistant properties can be enhanced at any point by applying additional aggregate broadcasts. Chemical resistance, impact resistance, and longevity are all superior to alternatives.
What Type of Slip Resistant Flooring Do I Need?
Resin based solutions offer excellent versatility as slip resistance can be precisely engineered during installation. By varying aggregate type, size and coverage, ratings from R10 to R13 can be achieved in a single system. Unlike anti slip tiles with grout lines that harbour contaminants, or paint based coatings that wear quickly under traffic, resin systems provide a seamless, impervious surface that remains easy to clean despite its texture.
The key advantage of epoxy flooring slip resistant systems and other resin options is that slip resistance can be enhanced at any point by applying additional aggregate broadcasts, whilst maintaining superior chemical resistance, impact resistance, and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Whilst epoxy resin itself cures to a smooth finish, it becomes slip resistant through aggregate incorporation during coating. Angular quartz, aluminium oxide, or carborundum particles are broadcast into the wet epoxy topcoat, creating textured grip underfoot. You can specify anything from R9-R10 for dry areas up to R12-R13 for wet environments. Slip resistance can be enhanced at any time by applying additional textured seal coats.
The slip resistance comes entirely from aggregates incorporated into the system, not from the resin itself. During application, aggregate particles are broadcast onto the wet resin surface, embedding partially as it cures to create textured grip. The resin acts as the binder whilst providing chemical resistance and durability. Slip resistance level is controlled by aggregate type, particle size, and coverage density. Additional aggregate layers can be applied later to enhance performance if requirements change.
Untreated resin applied smooth without aggregates cures to a low-friction surface (R8-R9) unsuitable for areas where moisture is present. However, with proper aggregate broadcast, anti slip resin flooring can achieve ratings from R10 up to R13. Pendulum Test Values typically range from 25-35 for smooth resin up to 65+ for heavily textured surfaces. Slip resistance is specified and engineered during installation to match your specific operational risks.
