Anti-Slip & Textured Coatings for Trade & Industrial Surfaces

A smooth finish might look clean, but on site it can become a problem fast. Slippery floors, flat surfaces with no grip or finishes that don’t hold up under traffic, that’s where Zinsser decorative additives Australia tradies rely on come in.

These additives are designed to change how a surface performs, not just how it looks. Mixed directly into coatings, they create grip, texture or visual depth depending on the job. Whether you're working on concrete floors, ramps, walkways or feature surfaces, they give you control where standard paint falls short.

On site, they’re used alongside Paints, Finishes & Decorating Tools, Cleaning Chemicals & Solutions & Dust Extraction & Safety Gear to prep, mix & apply coatings correctly. You’ll also see them used with Work Pants & Shorts, Protective Arm & Leg Sleeves, Respiratory Protection & Accessories & Tool Storage during large-scale coating jobs.

Here’s what actually happens on site.
Standard coatings look fine at first.
Then traffic hits, moisture builds up & surfaces become unsafe.

That’s where additives make the difference.

What’s in This Collection:

► Anti-Slip Additives
‣ Designed to create grip on concrete, ramps & walkways where slip hazards are a real risk

► Textured Paint Additives
‣ Adds surface texture for improved durability & better performance in high traffic areas

► Decorative Effect Additives
‣ Creates visual finishes with depth, pattern or contrast for feature surfaces

► Floor Grip Additives
‣ Improves traction across commercial & industrial flooring exposed to movement & moisture

► Fine & Coarse Additives
‣ Different grades available depending on required grip level or surface finish

► Mix-In Coating Additives
‣ Blends into coatings without affecting application while improving surface performance

Most issues with painted surfaces come down to one thing.
They weren’t built for how the surface is actually used.

Concrete floors without grip become hazards.
High traffic areas wear down fast.
Flat finishes don’t hold up under pressure.

Using the right anti-slip paint additive or textured coating additive fixes that before it becomes a problem.

Trade Applications for Zinsser | Decorative Additives

Zinsser decorative additives are used across trade environments where surface performance matters just as much as appearance.

► Commercial Flooring & Walkways
‣ Used to create anti-slip coatings for concrete in entryways, ramps & public access areas

► Warehousing & Logistics
‣ Improves traction in loading zones & operational areas exposed to constant movement

► Industrial Workspaces
‣ Supports safer flooring in environments with machinery, moisture & heavy use

► Construction & Fit-Out Projects
‣ Used to deliver both functional grip & decorative finishes across new builds

► Public & High Traffic Areas
‣ Helps reduce slip risks in areas with frequent foot traffic

► Maintenance & Surface Upgrades
‣ Allows teams to improve floor safety without replacing existing coatings

Choosing the right decorative paint additives Australia tradies rely on comes down to how the surface will be used once the job is finished.

High foot traffic needs grip that holds under pressure.
Wet or exposed areas need traction that stays consistent.
Feature surfaces need texture that doesn’t wear down after a few weeks.

Across commercial floors, ramps & industrial workspaces, these additives are used to turn standard coatings into finishes that handle real conditions without failing early.
