Intergrain UltraDeck® Slip Resistant is a long lasting, high performance, water based coating designed to enhance the natural colour of exterior timber while providing slip resistance. The subtly textured, matt finish guards timber against harsh weather conditions as well as the abrasive effects of foot traffic, providing your timber superior protection for longer.

Grey and weathered with no previous coating
Clean with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner. For severely weathered timber, sand back to a fresh surface, remove all sanding dust, then clean with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner.
Existing coating in poor condition
Remove coating by using a combination of Intergrain UltraPrep Tannin & Oil Remover and power washing. Then clean with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner.
Paints, varnishes or coatings in varied condition
Paints, varnishes or coatings that have deteriorated unevenly, remove all existing coating by using Intergrain Liquid 8 Timber Stripper or sanding back to bare timber. Then clean with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner.
Maintenance coat of Intergain UltraDeck Slip Resistant
If your existing Intergrain UltraDeck Slip Resistant coating is in good condition, clean the surface with Intergrain UltraPrep™ Timber Cleaner.
Important: If mould is present or if timber is in a mould prone area, use Intergrain UltraPrep Mould Killer to remove surface mould effectively as the first step of preparing the timber for coating.
New, pre-oiled timber
Timber that is factory pre-oiled with Intergrain Universal Timber Oil or Feast Watson Industrial Timber Oil does not require exterior weathering or treatment to remove tannin or oils. This pre-oiled timber can be directly over coated with Intergrain UltraDeck Slip Resistant.
All timber should be clean and free from dust, dirt, debris, and mortar prior to coating.
Light surface soiling: A light wipe down with a clean damp cloth will be suitable.
Heavy surface soiling: Clean the surface with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner following the directions on the pack and rinse, allowing the surface to dry thoroughly prior to topcoat application.
IMPORTANT
Prior to topcoat purchase and application, it is important to identify the type of oil the supplier or timber merchant has used, to ensure it is compatible with water-based oil application. If unsure, follow the recommendations below for New Raw Timber.
New raw timber
Treat timber with Intergrain UltraPrep Tannin & Oil Remover. Then clean with Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner.
Remove excess water from the surface and allow the timber to dry for at least 1 hour before coating.
Stir Intergrain UltraDeck Slip Resistant thoroughly before and during use with a flat blade stirrer.
Apply Intergrain UltraDeck Slip Resistant using the Intergrain DeckBrush (recommended), flat deck applicator, applicator or paint brush. Do not spray or use a roller.
Apply at the coverage rate of 10-14m2/L. Do not overspread or apply thinly as insufficient film thickness will result in lap marks and compromise performance and durability. When coating large areas, work in sections, apply long strokes and use natural breaks in the boards as stopping points.
Allow to dry following the recoat time indicated in the section Typical Properties, then apply a second coat.
A third coat will give extra protection and is required in harsh conditions such as full sun exposure, around pools and in humid areas or if the first coat was applied on damp or porous timber.
Important: All timber is required to be free from dust, mould and site contaminants prior to coating. Follow all relevant product label instructions when using Intergrain products.
Maintenance
Conduct a routine 12 monthly maintenance inspection. Best protection of the timber and ease of maintenance is ensured if Intergrain UltraDeck Slip Resistant is recoated before deterioration of the coating and timber underneath occurs or when slip resistance is reduced.
