Treatex | Anti Slip Decking Oil 2.5L

Treatex Anti Slip Decking Protection is a clear oil that reduces slipping on exterior timber that gets slick from moisture, moss, algae and lichen. The grip comes from a polymer made from castor oil, and the oil itself is based on sunflower and soybean oils with no toxic substances. It is solvent free and low VOC.

It works best over another finish such as Treatex Exterior Oils, which gives it the UV protection it does not have itself. It can be used on its own, but Treatex notes it may not last as long that way.

• Use: exterior decking, steps and wooden walkways

How to use it

Make sure the timber is dry and clean, stir the tin before and during use, and brush or roll it on evenly. Because the effect varies between surfaces, do a trial patch first. Buy enough to finish the whole area and mix tins together.
