Glass beads for epoxy resin flooring – anti-slip additive 0.2–0.3 mm

Our glass beads for epoxy resin floors are the ideal solution if you want to make your floor coating more slip-resistant, safer and yet easy to clean.

The transparent, rounded anti-slip glass beads are sprinkled into the fresh sealant or mixed directly into the final coating layer.

This creates a grippier surface which, depending on consumption and coating system, can support slip resistance in the range of R9 to R10 .

The fine grain size of 0.2–0.3 mm is particularly suitable for 2K epoxy resin floor coatings , transparent sealants, colored epoxy floors, garage floors, workshop floors, basement floors, bathrooms, industrial areas and many other coating systems.

Why glass beads instead of quartz sand?

Compared to quartz sand , glass beads are transparent, round and visually more subtle .

As a result, they hardly change the color of your coating and remain almost invisible if evenly distributed.

Their rounded shape creates a more pleasant, wipeable surface than sharp-edged materials. Comparable suppliers also describe glass beads as transparent, rounded, and wipeable.

This makes them particularly interesting for areas that need to be cleaned regularly, for example garages, workshops, basements, bathrooms, hobby rooms or commercial spaces .

Suitable for private and commercial floor areas

Suitable for:

The anti-slip glass beads are suitable for many floor areas:

Garage: more grip with wet tires, dirt and moisture
Workshop: secure footing while working
Basement: anti-slip sealant on mineral substrates
Bathrooms and wet areas: additional grip on damp floors
Industrial hall: anti-slip coating for work areas
Hobby room and storage: robust, easy-care surface
Colored epoxy resin floors: virtually invisible anti-slip additive
Transparent sealants: subtle slip resistance without significant visual alteration

Application with epoxy resin floor coating

For a professional result, we recommend the following setup:

Clean, sand, and vacuum the surface.
Apply 2K epoxy resin primer if required.
Apply colored 2K epoxy resin floor coating
Prepare the final layer or sealant
Sprinkle or mix in glass beads evenly.
Allow the surface to harden completely.
Optionally protect with a transparent sealant

The glass beads are particularly well suited for combination with:

2K epoxy resin floor coating
2K epoxy resin primer
2K epoxy resin sealant, colorless
Color chips, colored quartz or decorative floors
Garage floor coating
Industrial floor coating

Glass beads for epoxy resin flooring can be processed in two ways:
1. Sprinkle into the fresh coating
The glass beads are evenly sprinkled into the still-wet final layer. This creates good slip resistance on the surface. This method is particularly suitable when a stronger anti-slip effect is desired.
2. Interfering in the last layer
Alternatively, the glass beads can be stirred directly into the final sealant or coating. This method creates a uniform, subtle texture and is particularly suitable for private surfaces that need to remain easy to wipe clean.
For a clean finish, the glass beads should be evenly distributed. Uneven application can result in a patchy surface or varying levels of grip.

Actual consumption depends on the desired anti-slip effect, the coating, the application rate, and the processing method. For comparable products, different quantities are recommended depending on the target slip resistance, for example, approximately 100–250 g/m² or approximately 300 g/m² for lighter slip resistance; other suppliers also specify lower guideline values when mixed into the sealant.

Desired effect	Recommendation
Subtle slip resistance / private use	approx. 100–150 g/m²
Slight slip resistance	approx. 300 g/m²
R9, stronger anti-slip effect	approx. 500 g/m²
R10, intensive slip resistance	approx. 1,000 g/m²
R11, very strong slip resistance	approx. 3,000 g/m²

Important: Slip resistance classes R9 to R13 are assessed using testing procedures in professional settings. Official information indicates that R-values are laboratory values and depend on the testing method, surface, and conditions. For legally relevant or commercial applications, the finished surface should be tested.

A good floor coating starts with proper preparation. The substrate must be:

dry

viable

dust-free

fat- and oil-free

clean

slightly roughened

free from loose components

Cracks, holes, and uneven surfaces should be repaired before coating. On highly absorbent substrates, we recommend a suitable two-component epoxy primer or an appropriate adhesion promoter.
