AST Anti-Slip Coatings Last 5 Times Longer
So You Can Work 5 Times Fewer Weekends.

You know that replacing worn out sand-in-paint surfaces can be a real hassle. You have to do it during non-production hours and that means spending late nights, holidays and weekends at the plant. AST Anti-Slip Coatings can change all that. Our coatings last over five times longer than sand-in-paint, or other broadcast systems, even when subjected to the most punishing environment. And five times more durability means five times fewer applications; five times less downtime; five times fewer scheduling problems; five times fewer headaches; and five times fewer weekends spent at work!

Tough enough for everything from flight decks to factory floors.

BATTLE TESTED TOUGH.
AST Anti-Slip Coatings are famous for their incredible toughness and durability. Originally engineered for use on the flight deck of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, our coatings are tested to withstand over 15,000 high-impact jet landings per year. In what the Navy calls a “controlled crash”, each 30-ton fighter jet smashes onto the carrier deck, dragging a steel tailhook across the surface at over 170 mph.

In addition to this relentless beating, AST Coatings must also withstand some of the most corrosive substances in the world including jet fuel, Skydrol hydraulic fluid, grease, oil and salt spray. If AST Anti-Slip Coatings can stand up to that kind of punishment, they can easily handle your heaviest forklift, steel-wheeled, and pedestrian traffic.

PUT BATTLE-TESTED TOUGHNESS TO WORK.
Today, companies around the globe are putting AST to the test in a variety of industrial applications. AST Anti-Slip Coatings have proven exceptionally durable in the most demanding environments imaginable—from blast-furnace hot steel mills to Antarctic-cold storage lockers; from caustic chemical plants to waterlogged pulp mills; from the dark, dank holds of ocean going tankers to the sun and weather ravaged surfaces of offshore oil rigs. When we say AST is battle-tested tough, we mean the kind of proven toughness that can handle the most punishing trafficand the harshest chemicals that industry can dish out. AST Anti-Slip Coatings also exceed strict OSHA, ADA, USDA, ASTM and U.S. Military specifications.
EXCEEDS SAFETY AND QUALITY STANDARDS.

AST Anti-Slip Coatings exceed the strictest USDA, OSHA, and ADA specifications.
They also pass independent ASTM tests including:
• F-510, Frick-Taber long-term wear test for durability.
• D-2794 for impact resistance from falling objects.
• D-1894 for sufficient coefficient of friction in wet and dry environments.
• D-3450 for washability and easy cleanup.
Every batch of AST Anti-Slip Coating is tested before shipment at our military certified plant to ensure the highest level of quality control.

5X MORE DURABILITY.
5X FEWER HEADACHES.
Constantly replacing conventional anti-slip coatings can be a real headache. That’s why AST Anti-Slip Coatings are engineered to last up to five times longer than sand-in-paint and other anti-slip treatments. Five times more durability means five times fewer applications; five times less downtime; five times fewer budget problems; and five times fewer scheduling headaches. With AST, you may even spend five times fewer late nights, weekends, and holidays at work applying anti-slip coatings.

If AST Anti-Slip Coatings can stand up to the relentless punishment of fighter jet traffic, they can easily handle your heaviest forklift, steel-wheeled, and pedestrian traffic.
COSTS THE SAME AS PAINT.
How much does all of this incredible toughness and durability cost? Probably not a penny more than what you're currently paying. At only $2 to $3/sq. ft., AST Anti-Slip Coatings cost the same as ordinary industrial floor paints.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE
FOR THE PRICE OF ORDINARY PAINT.
AST’s proprietary formulas in-corporate high-tech materials that are second only to diamonds in hardness and are engineered to provide a unique profile of peaks and valleys when rolled onto a surface. Liquids and other contaminants flow into the valleys leaving the high-traction peaks exposed. If the peaks ever begin to wear away, they expose fresh grit, providing excellent slip-resistance for years.

EASY TO APPLY. EASY TO CLEAN.
AST Coatings are just as easy to apply as paint. Simply roll onto a clean, dry, uncontaminated floor. Most of our coatings are ready for light traffic in 12-24 hours, heavy traffic in just 48 hours. AST Anti-Slip Coatings are easy to clean, too. They meet the ASTM D-3450 test for washability and easy clean-up. Just sweep, hose off, or run a scrubbing machine over the surface with the cleaning solution of your choice.

NASA'S ENGINEERS GET AN ENGINEERED SOLUTION.
NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building is the immense “clean room” where the space shuttle is built. Obviously, sand-in-paint wouldn’t meet NASA’s high-tech standards. In fact, NASA’s requirements for the anti slip coating to cover the Vehicle Assembly Building’s galvanized steel floors and walkways were so stringent and state-of-the art that the right coating did not exist—until we created it. Everyone agrees it’s out of this world.

THE SLIPPEREST PLACE ON EARTH.
There may be no other place in the world you’ll find as slippery as a fish processing plant. Workers have to shovel through waist-deep fish slime and guts in chest waders. Of course, slipping and falling in fish entrails isn’t one of the highlights of the job. That’s why AST’s Anti-Slip Coatings are number one among North American fisheries. We can’t do anything about the smell, but we can keep employees from drowning in fish.
FOR THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE, WE DELIVER.
When Grumman Allied won the contract to supply the U.S. Postal Service with almost 100,000 Long Life Vehicles, they called us. They needed an anti-slip coating for the cargo area of the trucks that would match the incredible durability of their vehicles. They also needed a coating that could be applied quickly and easily during their fast production process. Unfortunately, the perfect coating did not exist. But since Grumman makes the F-14 Tomcats that smash into our incredibly tough anti-slip coatings on Navy aircraft carriers, they were confident that we could invent the anti-slip coating they needed. And we did. It will be on every new postal truck you’ll see for years to come.
VOC'S AND WINE DON'T MIX.
Napa Valley’s famous wines are aged in huge, wooden casks in climate-controlled cellars. High humidity is required to keep the casks from drying and cracking—and to prevent the wines from evaporating and prematurely aging. Unfortunately, several wineries’ forklift trucks kept slipping and sliding on the wet floors while transporting the casks. So they called us for an extremely tough, anti-slip coating that would hold up to heavy forklift traffic, yet give off no fumes. Since the casks breathe, any odors from the room would adversely affect wine flavor. Fortunately, AST’s Anti-Slip Coatings can withstand the harshest treatment—even in a zero-VOC formulation. Now Napa Valley only has to worry about moisture in the vineyards, not the cellars.
A TEN-STORY FALL... YOU'RE SHARK BAIT.
One false step on an oil-drilling platform can lead to a 10-story plunge into the ocean. That’s why employees get combat pay to work on a platform. The wet metal gang-planks and ladders are precarious even when not sprayed with salt water, oil and lubricants. But when they’re covered with our anti-slip coatings, suddenly everything’s a lot safer. That’s why the big offshore oil rigs depend on AST to keep them on their feet.

WET CEMENT AND WILD KIDS.
Every day at a well-known water park, thousands of excited, screaming children run around barefoot on wet cement. The potential for a liability disaster makes lawyers almost as excited as the kids. That’s why the park uses our anti-slip coatings around the pool and water slide areas. They’re better than liability insurance!

THE NAVY CALLS IT A "CONTROLLED CRASH"
The F-14 Tomcats that smash onto the surface of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in what is so appropriately called a “controlled crash,” are ruthless on the flight deck’s coating. They weigh over 30 tons and slam onto the surface at 170 mph. The exhaust from their afterburners reaches 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit during catapult takeoffs. The most corrosive substances in the world spray onto the deck: jet fuel, Skydrol hydraulic fluid, grease, oil, and salt spray. It also has to withstand ultraviolet rays, terrible storms, extreme heat and cold, and the shock and abrasion of a jet smashing into a tailhook landing. The Navy can’t settle for second best. That’s why they use AST Anti-Slip Coatings.
