Associate FACTA member, Geveko Markings UK, in partnership with another FACTA member, EJCO, installed an anti-slip surface treatment to a prestigious access cover project in Greenwich, London.

The steel covers were treated with Geveko’s PREMARK™ Anti-Skid, a preformed thermoplastic product that is applied directly to the surface via a 2-component primer system.  The products increase slip resistance, making surfaces safer during inclemental weather.  

The product is highly durable and has been developed for both pedestrian and vehicular routes and is available in a range of traffic approved colours.  The product can improve slip-resistance on steel, ductile iron, concrete and asphalt surfaces.
