Read New Venture Products Ltd Reviews

Protectakote WB (Water-Based) is a water based version of the market leading Protectakote, available in both a textured anti-slip version and a smooth version. Protectakote WB is a water based aliphatic Polyurethane that is UV stable so suitable for both internal and external applications. The anti-slip version of Protectakote WB uses irregualr rubber crumb to give a textured, non abrasive anti-slip finish and is ideal for walkways, acrylic shower trays, vehicle linings, steps and ramps or anywhere else that requires a tough flexible anti-slip finish. The water based formulation is weather resistant, low odour and non flammable, in addition it has excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals and solvent. This single pack product is ready to use, easy to apply and fast drying.
Please also see the sister product to Protectakote WB, Safekote WB which is a similar formulation but uses uniform silica spheres to create a low profile anti-slip finish.

Product Applications:
Protectakote WB can be used both internally and externally but as with all water based products care must be taken with regard to the application temperature and protecting the coating from any rain or water for at least 24 hours after application. Typical applications for Protectakote WB are:


Industrial and commercial flooring
Acrylic shower trays
Wheelchair ramps
Emergency Exits and fire escapes
Anti slip areas around machinery
Bridges, steps and walkways
Boat decks
Vehicle lining to protect load beds, tail lifts, pick up beds, trailers, flooring
Children's play equipment

Finishes Available:
Smooth or textured anti-slip

Colours Available:
White (RAL 9016)

Key Features:

Single Component - Use straight from the tin with a long pot life
Fast drying
Non abrasive anti-slip version available
Flexible but won't chip, flake or peel
Excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals and solvents
Prevents rust and corrosion
Excellent adhesive properties to most surfaces including metal, cement, wood, fibre glass and PVC

Coverage:
4m² per coat per litre so for the recommended two coat application it is 2m² per litre. Three coats are recommended for high wear areas. Please note that these figures are only an approximate guide and the coverage will depend on the porosity and finish of the substrate.

Please Note:
The minimum air and substrate temperature when applying water based paints is 10°C and the finished surface must be protected from water or rain for a minimum of 24 hours after it has been applied. Protectakote will be suitable for light foot traffic after 12 hours but will take 5/7 days to reach full strength.

Used it to cover a repair on the caravan shower tray. Took a couple of coats but looks great.

Ordered the protectakote wb to coat a shower tray in a motorhome. The paint came quickly and well packaged. The paint is very thin and nigh on impossible to get to stay on a vertical surface. It pools badly. First coat took nearly 5 hours to dry and that is applying it very thin as per instructions. Wouldn't recommend especially for the price.

We are sorry to hear about the problems you had applying the Protectakote WB. It is very important that the instructions are carefully followed, particularly with regard to the minimum application temperature of the air and substrate. Water based products should not be applied below 10°C as it will not only greatly extend drying times but also affect adhesion and the final strength of the product. Any shiny areas must be lightly abraded and cleaned before application to ensure the paint can get adhesion. When applying the textured version we strongly recommend you use a textured honeycomb roller to get an even finish.

We used the textured finish of the Protectakote to repair the shower tray in our 25 year old caravan. We used 4-5 coats and it sealed all the hairline cracks successfully. Shower tray now non slip and sealed. Great product. Would recommend.

I used both protectakote water based and UVR textured finish. Both are easy to apply. I used a brush and roller for application which cleaned easily after the water based product but it's a throw away job after the UVR. Great finish on my caravan shower tray. It looks like new. Remains to be seen how long it lasts and if it stays waterproof. Both products are not what I would call cheap but if they do the job, which after initial applications I'm pretty confident they will do it's alot cheaper than taking it to a caravan repairer.

I thought this might be a pain to use but was actually great! Easy to mix, easy to apply and has done exactly what I needed it to do and above all my customer is chuffed with the finish!

Excellent product, which was applied with a roller to a plastic shower base resulting in a good anti-slip textured surface. The quick drying quality (about 2 hours) allowed for subsequent coatings and a rapid completion of my project. The finish was a white opaque textured surface that's comfortable under foot but more importantly anti-slip.
