Slippery surface of sidewalks and pedestrian zones of bridges
SAFETRACK® SC is a high-performance surface coating with increased slip resistance from GCP Applied Technologies (formerly Stirling Lloyd's), created based on the unique ESSELAC® resin technology.
Slippery sidewalks and pedestrian zones of bridges are an invisible threat that becomes apparent after a fall. Injury statistics are relentless: a significant portion of injuries on urban facilities occurs not due to accidents, but from slipping on wet asphalt, concrete, or steel decking. Bridge sidewalks, bike paths, pedestrian crossings are high-risk areas that often remain overlooked until the first accident occurs. Challenges faced by every owner or manager of an infrastructure facility: A surface that does not hold. After rain, snow, or ice, even quality coatings turn into a hazardous area. No traditional solution addresses this problem systematically. Or a faded or worn boundary line. Where the pedestrian zone meets the roadway or bike path, the lack of a clear visible boundary is not an aesthetic problem, but a safety issue.

Slippery surface of sidewalks and pedestrian zones of bridges
02
Insufficient visibility of boundary lines or their fading over time
03
Hot application technology that stops traffic
04
Water penetrating under the coating
05
Destructive action of aggressive chemical agents
The coating is applied cold, without prior heating, is solvent-free and UV-stable, maintaining color saturation throughout its entire service life. Thanks to excellent adhesion to concrete, steel, asphalt, and thermoplastics, SAFETRACK® SC reliably works on bridge decks and pedestrian paths, and its quick curing (less than one hour) allows traffic to open almost immediately after application.
Additionally — where traditional coatings are destroyed by chemical agents or water penetration, Safetrack® SC maintains integrity: the coating does not swell, delaminate, or lose adhesion even in aggressive environments.
Technical specifications:
Consumption: ~2 kg/m² (one layer)
Application temperature range: from 0 °C to +30 °C
Type: three-component composition in pre-weighed proportions
Fillers: green granite (Green Granite) — for pedestrian zones; bauxite (Bauxite) — for areas with heavy traffic
Standard colors: asphalt gray, black, blue (Capri Blue), green (Chrome Green), medium gray, red for roads (Road Red)
SAFETRACK® SC guarantees a durable, aesthetic, and safe anti-slip coating for bridge sidewalks, combining the technology of application with reliable protection and high visibility of boundary zones, allowing the facility to return to operation without delays.
