Interlux Paint Non-Skid Paint & Additive
Interlux Non-Skid Paint & Additive Solutions for Marine Decks
Interlux Paint has established itself as a leading name in marine coatings, and their non-skid paint and additive offerings represent decades of innovation in deck safety technology. Whether you're restoring a worn fiberglass deck or creating a safe walking surface on a new build, Interlux delivers professional-grade solutions designed specifically for the harsh marine environment.
Interdeck: Ready-to-Use Non-Skid Deck Paint
Interlux Interdeck is a tough, slip-resistant deck paint that contains a fine aggregate and applies easily on all substrates, protecting deck surfaces from everyday wear and tear with a tough polyurethane resin. The product contains tiny glass beads for excellent traction, delivering the grip you need without being overly aggressive or difficult to clean. Interdeck features a low-sheen finish to reduce sun glare, which is particularly important for boaters spending long days on the water. The one-part polyurethane formulation means it's ready to use straight from the can—no mixing or complicated preparation required beyond proper surface prep.
Intergrip: Customizable Non-Skid Additive
For boaters who prefer to add non-skid properties to their existing paint systems, Intergrip is made from small plastic spheres that have regular shape, low tendency to collect dirt and excellent non-slip properties. This paint additive is made of very fine polymeric spheres that don't collect dirt as easily as natural grit, making it superior to traditional sand or other abrasive additives. The recommended ratio is 4-6 ounces of Intergrip per quart of paint by volume, allowing you to customize the level of texture based on your specific needs. Intergrip can be mixed with multiple Interlux paint systems, including Brightside Polyurethane and Perfection Plus, giving you flexibility in your coating choice.
Why Choose Interlux for Deck Safety
The advantage of Interlux's approach to non-skid surfaces lies in the engineering behind their products. Unlike improvised solutions using sand or other household materials, both Interdeck and Intergrip utilize precisely manufactured particles designed for consistent performance. The spherical shape of these additives provides reliable traction while maintaining a surface that can be effectively cleaned—a critical consideration in the marine environment where algae, salt, and grime constantly challenge deck surfaces. The polyurethane resin chemistry offers excellent UV resistance and flexibility, ensuring your non-skid surface won't crack or peel prematurely as the deck flexes with the boat's movement.
