GacoFloor AS150 is a pedestrian-grade system in the family of anti-slip floor coatings engineered for on-grade concrete, metal and timber. It lays a uniform, textured finish that delivers reliable wet-grip, seals dusty substrates and stands up to everyday footfall with tolerance for light wheeled loads such as pallet trucks, trolleys and scrubbers (not for forklifts/heavy turning). Supplied in 5-gallon (18.9 L) kits in a clean black/grey/white palette, AS150 installs quickly with minimal downtime and keeps high-traffic routes looking consistent and easy to clean. Plan consumption at ≈ 4.5 m² per gallon per coat (≈ 22.5 m² per 5-gal kit), adjusting to profile and desired texture.
AS150 simplifies specification without sacrificing performance. Use GacoFloor PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer on concrete/timber and GacoFloor GFE7CZ Metal Primer on ferrous/non-ferrous metals to lock down the surface and promote long-term adhesion; seal hairline cracks and perimeter gaps first with Permathane® Urethane Caulk Sealant to prevent moisture tracking. Together, these components create a durable, seamless anti-slip floor coatings that cures fast, maintains dependable wet-grip, and reduces life-cycle costs across warehouses, factory aisles, walkways, stairs, ramps and loading-area pedestrian routes.

GacoFloor AS150 is designed for on-grade concrete, metal, and timber where floor coatings must deliver reliable wet grip, a uniform textured finish, and everyday durability. As a pedestrian-grade system tolerant of light wheeled loads (pallet trucks, trolleys, scrubbers), it brings the proven performance of professional coatings to busy industrial and commercial spaces without the patchy look of broadcast aggregates.
Warehouses & factory floors — Pedestrian aisles, packing lines and staging zones where anti-slip coatings cut concrete dusting, resist scuffing and stand up to pallet trucks, trolleys and scrubbers.
Walkways & service corridors — Back-of-house routes and plant corridors that need continuous traction; they provide a consistent, easy-clean texture that handles detergents and daily footfall.
Stairs, landings & platforms — Internal/external steps, mezzanines and metal/timber treads where coatings maintain nosing-to-landing grip, shed surface water and reduce slip incidents.
Access ramps & thresholds — Gentle-fall ramps, entry thresholds and change-of-level plates where coatings give climb/descend traction and impact resistance, with tolerance for light wheeled traffic.
Loading-bay pedestrian routes — Segregated walkways and marshalling lanes beside bays where they resist tyre scuff, oil drips and de-icer residue, keeping foot zones safe and visibly demarcated.
Retail/commercial storerooms & BOH — Storerooms and back-of-house circulation where anti-slip coatings support hygiene regimes, withstand frequent scrubbing and keep floors uniformly textured.
GacoFloor AS150 is installed as part of professional floor coating on on-grade concrete, metal or timber to deliver a uniform, slip-resistant finish with minimal downtime. Use the matched primers for each substrate, follow the concise workflow below, and select equipment that produces the texture profile your area requires. AS150 is pedestrian-grade with tolerance for light wheeled loads (pallet trucks, trolleys, scrubbers).

Notes: Coverage and cure vary with film thickness, substrate profile and ambient conditions—verify on your first kit area to achieve the required anti-slip texture.
Aim: give AS150 the clean, dry, sound base thatfloor coatings need, with gaps and cracks sealed before priming.
Assess & isolate
Confirm areas are on-grade and structurally sound. Remove loose/soft screeds and any failed patches. Protect adjacent finishes.
Strip existing coatings
Shotblast or diamond-grind/sand existing paints and coatings back to bare concrete; remove laitance and contaminants. Do not acid-etch. Feathered edges must be removed to a firm, uniform profile.
Degrease & clean
Lift oils, tyre marks and spills with an appropriate degreaser. Rinse/wipe and allow to dry. Industrial-vacuum all dust; the surface must be clean and non-glossy for primer.
Moisture & soundness
Substrate must be dry (no active moisture/vapour issues) and solid. Repair hollow or weak areas; ensure falls drain positively to avoid ponding after coating.
Detailing — seal gaps & cracks first
Treat non-structural cracks, pinholes and perimeter gaps before primer using Permathane® Urethane Caulk Sealant.
Chase cracks neatly if required, clean, install backer-rod where appropriate, gun in Permathane®, tool to a smooth shed-water profile and allow to skin/cure.
Primers (by substrate)
Concrete / Timber: GacoFloor PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer to consolidate the surface and promote adhesion.
Metal (ferrous/non-ferrous): Prepare to clean, bright metal (remove rust/scale; abrade), then prime with GacoFloor GFE7CZ Metal Primer.
Observe each primer’s coverage and recoat window; keep dust and moisture off the primed surface.
Ready for AS150
Mask edges, set out expansion/movement joints to be honoured through the system, and verify the prepared/primed area is clean and dry. Proceed with AS150 application to the planned texture profile and coverage.
This summary aligns the prep with best practice for anti-slip floor coatings on on-grade concrete, metal and timber: mechanical removal to a sound base, seal with Permathane® first, then prime correctly for long-term adhesion and finish quality.
Primers (required) Use the matched primer to secure long-term adhesion and a clean finish.
GacoFloor PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer — for on-grade concrete and timber/plywood. Penetrates and consolidates the substrate, evens absorption and locks down dust before AS150.
GacoFloor GFE7CZ Metal Primer — for ferrous and non-ferrous metals/steel. Apply to clean, bright, abraded metal to prevent underfilm corrosion and ensure bond.
Gaps & cracks — seal before priming with Permathane® Urethane Caulk Sealant (hairlines, perimeters, termination beads, non-structural joints).
Topcoats (when to use them)
AS150 delivers the finished surface for many pedestrian areas; add coats only when the service or appearance demands it.
Second coat of AS150 (recommended in busy zones)
For stronger colour uniformity, extra texture/wet-grip, or higher film build, apply a second coat of AS150 after the first has cured within its recoat window.
Hygiene/cleanability upgrade
Where frequent scrubbing, staining or marking is expected, consult Duratite for a compatible polyurethane sealer topcoat over AS150 to further reduce soiling and ease cleaning while preserving the anti-slip profile.
Maintenance overcoat
In wear paths, clean and abrade the surface, repair with Permathane® as needed, and re-coat with AS150 to refresh texture and colour without full replacement.
Intercoat timing
Always respect each product’s recoat window (primer → AS150, and coat → coat). Keep surfaces clean, dry and dust-free between coats to maintain intercoat adhesion and the uniform texture expected of high-quality coatings.
AS150 sits within professional anti-slip coatings and is supported by documented testing and regulatory credentials for pedestrian-grade service on on-grade concrete, metal and timber.
VOC & emissions compliance – Formulated to meet 50-state VOC limits for Industrial Maintenance/Traffic coatings. Suitable for use in occupied facilities when applied with normal ventilation.
Slip-resistance testing – Laboratory tested to ASTM F609 (static coefficient of friction) with wet and dry values appropriate for pedestrian safety programs. The uniform, built-in texture helps maintain slip resistance over the service life when cleaned as part of routine maintenance.
Substrate/system compliance – Approved for use over GacoFloor PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer (concrete/timber) and GacoFloor GFE7CZ Metal Primer (ferrous/non-ferrous metals). Using the matched primers and following recoat windows preserves intercoat adhesion and system warranty conditions.
Chemical & cleaning resistance – Designed to resist common site contaminants (oils, fuels, mild acids/alkalis, detergents), supporting hygiene and safety regimes typical of industrial/commercial floors.
Food & facility acceptability – Listed as USDA acceptable for appropriate service areas when installed per the data sheet and kept clean.
Health & safety documentation – Full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Product Data Sheet (PDS/TDS) available for contractor induction, COSHH/OSHA files and O&M manuals; packaging and labels provided with GHS/CLP hazard information.
Environmental & credits – Low-emitting coating information available to support project documentation and potential contributions toward indoor-air-quality credits (e.g., low-VOC categories) where applicable.
Quality assurance – Batch traceability, recommended on-site QA (wet-film checks, area logs, texture sign-off) and maintenance guidance to keep it performing to spec.
It is a solvent-borne, single-component coating; associated primers (PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer, GFE7CZ Metal Primer) and Permathane® Urethane Caulk Sealant have their own hazards. Always read the latest SDS/PDS for each product and brief all operatives before starting.
Flammable liquids & vapours – keep away from heat, sparks, flames and hot work. No smoking. Use intrinsically safe/ATEX-rated equipment where required.
Solvent exposure – vapours can cause headache/dizziness and irritation. Ensure effective cross-ventilation; use respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
Sensitisers – epoxy primers can cause skin/respiratory sensitisation; Permathane® (moisture-cure polyurethane) may contain isocyanates—heightened controls for asthmatics and enclosed spaces.
Wet-floor slip risk – uncured coatings/primers are slippery; barrier off work zones and post warnings.
Dust & silica – grinding/shot-blasting can release respirable dust; use LEV (dust extraction), fit appropriate P3/HEPA filtration and wet methods where practicable.
Noise & vibration – control exposure from prep equipment per local regulations.
Respiratory: Half-mask with organic vapour + P2/P3 particulate filters when ventilation is insufficient, during mixing, spraying or crack-chasing.
Skin: Chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), long sleeves/trousers, impervious footwear.
Eye/face: Chemical splash goggles; face shield when decanting/spraying.
Hearing: Ear protection during mechanical prep.
General: Provide wash stations; prohibit eating/drinking in work areas.
Maintain continuous mechanical ventilation to keep vapour concentrations low; exhaust to safe external points.
For plant rooms, pits or below-grade areas, treat as confined spaces: permit-to-work, continuous gas monitoring, rescue plan, standby attendant.
Decant and mix at low speed to minimise aerosol/mist. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Ground/earth metal containers and spray rigs to prevent static discharge.
Mask and protect the drains. Keep ignition sources and non-essential personnel out of the area.
Respect recoat windows to ensure intercoat adhesion and avoid solvent entrapment.
Store in original, closed containers, upright, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from oxidisers and ignition sources.
Protect from extremes of temperature and direct sunlight. Rotate stock FIFO; observe stated shelf life.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep at rest; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash with soap and water. Do not use solvents to clean skin.
Eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; remove lenses if easy; get medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; seek urgent medical attention.
Eliminate ignition sources. Contain with inert absorbent (sand/vermiculite); collect into labelled containers.
Do not allow into drains or watercourses. Dispose of liquid waste, absorbents, used PPE and empty tins as hazardous waste via a licensed contractor; follow local regulations.
Keep traffic off until cured as specified; early trafficking can cause print/odour and slip hazards.
For cleaning, use neutral detergents; avoid strong oxidisers/solvent flooding.
Inspect joints, edges and high-wear lanes; repair locally (clean/abrade, re-prime if required, re-coat) to maintain the performance of your coating.
This section is a site-safety summary. Always follow your risk assessment, method statement and the latest Safety Data Sheets for AS150, PSPEC 100X, GFE7CZ and Permathane®.
System intent — AS150 sits within anti-slip coatings for pedestrian-grade service with tolerance for light wheeled loads (pallet trucks, trolleys, scrubbers). Not for forklifts or heavy turning traffic.
Primers are mandatory — Use GacoFloor PSPEC 100X Epoxy Concrete Primer on concrete/timber and GacoFloor GFE7CZ Metal Primer on metal. Incorrect priming risks poor adhesion and premature failure.
Repairs before primer — Seal hairline cracks, perimeter gaps and terminations with Permathane® Urethane Caulk Sealant and allow to skin/cure before priming.
Substrate moisture & soundness — On-grade slabs must be dry, clean and sound with positive falls to drains. AS150 is not a moisture-mitigation/DPM system and not for active leaks or rising damp.
Remove old coatings — Mechanically shot-blast/diamond-grind to bare concrete (or bright metal/clean timber). Do not acid-etch. Vacuum dust thoroughly.
Application conditions — Apply only within the stated temperature/humidity window and protect from rain/condensation during early cure. High humidity and low temperature slow curing.
Coverage varies — Plan at ≈4.5 m² per gallon per coat; texture, profile and method (roller/trowel/spray) will change consumption. Verify on the first kit and adjust.
Intercoat timing — Respect recoat windows for primer → AS150 and coat → coat. Keep surfaces clean/dust-free between coats to avoid intercoat adhesion issues.
Joints & movement — Honour expansion/movement joints through the system. Do not bridge live joints with the coating.
Colour & batch — Order enough product from the same batch for continuous areas. Minor shade/texture variations are normal between batches or application methods.
Slip resistance is maintained, not created forever — Performance depends on correct texture and housekeeping. Keep surfaces clean; locally re-coat worn lanes to maintain grip.
Chemical exposure — Resistant to common oils/fuels/detergents; promptly clean spills and avoid prolonged solvent pooling.
Maintenance & repair — Clean with neutral detergents. For local damage: clean/abrade, re-prime if needed, and re-coat with AS150 to refresh colour and texture.
Safety — Solvent-borne coating and primers are flammable; provide ventilation, control ignition sources and use appropriate PPE per SDS.
