SCOFIELD® Traction Additive

SCOFIELD® Traction Additive

A clear lightweight coatings additive used to mildly texture and increase slip resistance with minimal change in appearance.  

SCOFIELD® Traction Additive is a lightweight synthetic coatings additive designed to increase slip resistance with minimal changes to coating color or appearance. It is easily incorporated into water or solvent based paints, stains, and sealers just prior to application. Lighter and less abrasive than ordinary sand aggregates, settling during application is reduced, a uniform appearance is more easily achieved, and surfaces are more comfortable to walk on.  

  • Increases slip resistance with minimal changes to coating color, gloss, or appearance.
  • Mixes into most solvent or water based coatings with reduced settling during application.
  • Less abrasive aggregate feels better under bare feet and is less destructive to clothing.
