Non-Slip’s Philosophy
Non-Slip’s philosophy for customer service is “Customer Comes First”.

Why is Slip Resistant Flooring important for Homes
Although many homeowners prefer installing finely polished shiny tile floors, hardwood floors or gorgeous looking granite, these materials always come with the risk of causing potentially dangerous slips and trips. We all know that smooth floors are easier to slip on, particularly when water is spilled. The condition can worsen, particularly when children and seniors are involved. This emphasizes the need to consider a slip resistant floor that can replace hazardous flooring and increase traction, especially for certain areas exposed to rain or high traffic such as entries, balconies, steps, etc.

Most homes feature hard flooring that includes vinyl, linoleum, ceramic smooth tile, smooth stone, concrete and others in some part of the home interior like the bathroom, laundry, kitchen and even garage. These areas are more prone to slips and trips as the chances of water spillage are higher.

What to do:
When it comes to young children and an aging population, it is especially important to create an accident-free home. One of the first areas that can be addressed is by eliminating any types of slip inducing flooring and replacing them with a safer option.

One option to consider is SHIMICOAT range of decorative polyaspartic and epoxy coatings. SHIMICOAT provides a unique and decorative alternative to tile and other flooring. With added slip resistant granule these “Rolled” floor coatings can be applied over old and new concrete and other substrates, providing the home owner with a choice of beautiful colours and a finish that is both slip-resistant, durable, modern, hygiene and functional.

Benefits:
• SHIMICOAT floor coating materials can be applied on concrete and other hard surfaces enhancing the look and feel of the floor.
• Slip-resistant granules can be added to eliminate the risk of slip in any wet area.
• SHIMICOAT floor coating solutions work effectively in all conditions such as greasy, wet or dry floors with the addition of slip-resistant granules
• Our products are easy and fast to apply – even in a day (depending on the size of the area). There is no need to wait long for the floor to dry, one day application, one day curing. Rapid fast “Return to Normal”.
• Anti-slip treatment can be effective for five years and over, reapplication is easy and economical.

The slip resistance test classification and the mean angle of inclination:

See Table 1

SHIMICOAT implement Australian Standard for characterisation of surface materials and determination of friction factors under wet and dry conditions.

This Standard is also intended for evaluating surface applications and treatments including products such as sealers, polishes and etchants which may modify the surface characteristics of pedestrian surfaces.

The method for the measurement of wet slip resistance being used for external and internal pedestrian surfaces and those pedestrian surfaces that have a reasonably foreseeable risk of the presence of wet substances such as water, grease and oil.

BIOCIDE-FILM

ShimiPoxy Biocide-Film – Microbial Protection Properties

ShimiPoxy may also be offered with antimicrobial protection, incorporated throughout the depth of the floor as needed.

Dispersion of functional inorganic nano-fillers like titanium and silver composits within polymer matrix is known to impart excellent photobactericidal activity to the composite. Epoxy resin systems with Silver and Titanium ions can offer combination of excellent biocidal characteristics of silver and the photocatalytic properties of titanium. Such Silver and Titanium nano-filler materials can also improve the glass transition temperature (TG) over the neat polymer.

Biocide-Film property of the surface is maintained by slow release of biocide over the coated area, offering ultimate microbial protection.

HYGIENE

Hygiene and Maintenance Free Flooring

SEAMLESS DURABLE RESIN COATINGS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT BACTERIAL OR FUNGAL GROWTH

Backed with rich experience and knowledge, SHIMICOAT is considered to be one of the most professional manufacturer and service-provider of Epoxy Flooring for the Healthcare industry. Pharmaceuticals, hospitals, clinics, operation theatres, bio-chemical laboratories and such other areas, where anti-bactrial environment is a must, our offered Epoxy Flooring is highly preferred as it is dust free, durable and are easy to clean. Our floors retain gloss for a long-time, does not allow growth of fungi or bacteria, joint-less and seamless and are stain-free.

Epoxy Polymer Flooring is the choice for many hospitals, commercial kitchens, laboratories, cold-rooms and restroom facilities for its hygiene properties. An Epoxy surface is impervious to the ingression of impurities, is seamless and can be coved up wall surfaces so as to remove opportunity for the harbouring of dirt, grime, and bacteria. Keeping an Epoxy Floor clean and hygienic could not be easier.

There are many situations where hygienic, easy-to-clean, durable floor and wall coatings are a necessity not simply a nice-to-have. In healthcare, pharmaceuticals, prisons & custodial, food & beverage production and many other sectors, hygiene is of paramount importance. It is imperative that the floor and wall finishes in specialist facilities support the rigorous operational standards required within these sectors. Selecting floor and wall finishes that simplify cleaning procedures and maintenance requirements can reduce costs and enable funds to be spent on other key priorities. Joints, seals and cracks can collect dirt and harbour microbes even when best efforts are made to thoroughly clean surfaces. It is the nature of the materials that creates the problem.

Choosing seamless, non-porous, durable finishes is the key. Vinyl sheeting and tiles, PVC cladding sheets / panelling (such as whiterock), ceramic tiles and other commonly used floor and wall finishes all create a high number of joints. Furthermore, if the joints fail and dirt or liquid gets behind the sheet, tile or panel it is very difficult to clean without stripping up the materials. An indication that his has happened is often smell, especially in areas such as public toilets where liquids such as urine can seep underneath floor sheets and tiles. An excellent alternative is a resin system.

To choose the right hygienic resin system for you, the following points need to be considered:
• What chemicals will be used in any processing in the area and/or for cleaning/sanitizing? Types and concentrations
• What kinds and amount of impact and/or abrasion will the wall of floor surface experience? frequency, equipment, wheel types of trolleys, susceptibility to deliberate damage or vandalism etc.
• What degree of temperatures will the surface be exposed to? Normal air temperature, refrigeration / climate cooled, exposure to steam, temperature of any spillages etc.

Shimicoat Epoxy Flooring Systems provide chemical containment solutions and corrosion protection to the Oil & Gas, Water & Sewerage, Mining and Food processing industries.

Our protective coatings are specially engineered to withstand highly corrosive or acid environments by providing a high build layer of acid protection and chemical attack.

Shimicoat Epoxy Coatings provide maximum protection to containment walls and barriers whilst the acid resistant coatings offer outstanding solutions to partly and fully submerged environments most commonly found in waste water treatment plants.

MVT

SHIMI MVT Coating – “Moisture Vapour Mitigating” Floor Systems

Moisture is a common problem on many floors especially pertaining to slab-on-grade flooring. Moisture vapour transmission, or MVT, is becoming an increasingly expensive challenge for commercial and industrial building designers, contractors and owners.

What is MVT?

Site conditions can contribute to a concrete slab demonstrating undesirably high moisture vapour transmission levels. When this occurs, moisture vapour finds tiny pathways upward through the slab via capillary action, finally condensing into a high-pH liquid. Build-up of this alkaline liquid on the concrete floor surface can destroy the ability of industrial flooring to bond to the concrete substrate.

In years past, contractors were forced to wait for new concrete to cure fully, prior to installing floor coatings. Various cumbersome tests were done over time, with the hope that the slab moisture would subside. We now know that some concrete slabs can take months before their MVT level is safe enough for typical coating system application. Other concrete floors may never achieve an acceptable level. With today’s tight construction deadlines and even tighter budgets, waiting with fingers crossed is no longer an option.

What Moisture Vapour Mitigating Floor Coatings Do You Need?

One of our highly experienced local representatives can evaluate your facility’s concrete floor for moisture vapour transmission and relative humidity. These test results will determine which of our MVT industrial flooring systems will work best for you and your budget.

Benefits of MVT Flooring Systems:

• Most of our high performance floors can be installed with MVT protection

Solid/Single colour epoxy dries to a high gloss shine and is available in a variety of colours, textures and applications such as solid colours and decorative additives that can beautify a variety of environments. Please see our colour chart below.

Epoxy Flooring Procedure

• The floor is assessed to determine density, moisture and integrity.
• Any existing coatings are removed by dustless grinding.
• Finer grit diamond is then used to remove visible scratches.
• If moisture is detected above 5% by using a moisture meter, a moisture barrier is applied using an airless sprayer.
• If the surface is weak and porous after the grinding process, a liquid densifier is applied.
• All holes, cracks and chips are filled with a fine filler product.
• Skirting boards are masked up with painters low stick tape.
• A primer is applied using a low nap roller. This coat seals off the concrete and allows the base coat to stay wet without penetrating into the surface.
• A base coat of 100% tinted solid epoxy is applied. This is squeegeed, rolled and then back-rolled to ensure distribution of product.
• If required, the flake is broadcasted over the wet epoxy and then dry back-rolled.
• The floor is then scraped, mechanically sanded and vacuumed to remove any excess flake.
• The topcoat of UV stable clear epoxy or UV stable clear Polyurethane is then applied to enhance the surface and protect the flake.

POLISHED & HONED

Internal Polished Concrete

Internal polished concrete is at the height of maintenance free and durability when it comes to internal flooring, not to mention seamless style and the added beauty of complete unique design with no two floors ever being the same.

At Shimicoat, we DO NOT simply grind your concrete and coat it with a resin epoxy, we offer a ‘True Polish’ to provide you with a full floor finish.

We first grind down your concrete to desired stone exposure, then after adding a densifying agent to create a non-porous hardened and stain resistant surface, we then buff and polish the floor with progressively finer diamond tooling until it gives off your desired finish. We then add our final penetrating sealing coat which protects your floor.

We can work to many different sheen levels, from an architectural satin styled sheen to a full gloss finish. Your choice of internal polished concrete will depend on a number of different factors, from the look of the rest of your interiors, to the nature of the concrete that is being polished. A satin sheen polished floor is perfect for garages, retail shop floors, warehouses and those interested in getting that earthy or architectural feel to their floor, while the full gloss finish is for those who want their floor to have the mirror effect.

Internal ‘true polished’ floors have huge benefits over other conventional flooring types, including:
• Low maintenance
• Will not give off VOC’s (volatile organic compounds)
• Superior durability over other flooring types
• Cost efficiency when compared to the continuous upkeep of surfaces like timber, carpets and tiles
• A seamless design

At Shimicoat, we’re proud to provide the premier concrete polishing service to homes and commercial premises. Our team are concrete professionals with a wealth of knowledge and ideas about how to make the most of polished concrete in any setting. We provide personal service and striking, beautiful results. Just take a look through our gallery for a taste of what we could do with your floors.

External Honed Concrete
External honed concrete is the most visually stunning of all external surfaces, with polished stones glistening through the concrete; you are left with a flat, foot friendly, smooth, non slip surface. Not to mention, being the most hardwearing and low maintenance product that is available in external flooring surfaces. So you can forget weeds and grass finding its way into your pathways or alfresco! And to clean…simply broom and hose off!

Shimicoat Grinding grinds down the concrete to expose the aggregate within the floor, then polishes the surface to desired smoothness (non-slip or semi internal sheen) to leave your floor as a flat smooth on the foot surface with your chosen aggregate stones shining up at you.

Benefits of a honed outdoor surface include:
• Smooth and feet friendly feel
• Non slip availability
• Superior durability over other flooring types
• Unique designs and colour options
• Mix styles can be customised to include ‘Glowstones’ and ‘3D Crete’
• Exceptionally low maintenance
• High durability and stain resistance

Honing Existing Washed Aggregate
Honing existing washed aggregate is a quick, cost effective way to bring new life to an aged, weathered aggregate surface. From a technical perspective, honing is the grinding stage in between aggressive grinding and fine polishing – using metal bonded diamond tooling to achieve a flat smooth finish
If you have washed or exposed aggregate and would like it to be a smooth surface, Shimicoat Grinding can turn your rough or sharp washed aggregate surface into a smooth and ‘feet friendly’ floor through concrete honing. By grinding down the protruding stones and then honing the surface to your desired smoothness, you’ll get the honed concrete finish you want without re-pouring or resurfacing.

Benefits of honing your washed aggregate include:
• Smooth and feet friendly surface
• Non slip availability
• Easier to clean and maintain
• Rejuvenates your current concrete surface
• Process can remove staining in current concrete
• Turns your dull exposed stones into polished features in your floor

Honed concrete can also refresh the look of your outdoor décor, making concrete or aggregate surfaces safer and more attractive. For example, if you’ve got a garden path or poolside are that has become stained through years of use and exposure to the elements, honing can remove the stains and reveal the fresh bright surface and stones underneath.

At Shimicoat Grinding, we can help with every stage of creating the perfect outdoor polished concrete look. From the original design and concept through to surface preparation and honing, our professional team can take care of it all. We pride ourselves on creating concrete art, and will happily work with your builders, architects or garden designers to develop a cohesive overall look.
