Product Overview
The Tuff Coat UT-119ST is a single-component, water-based, rubberized non-skid coating designed for smooth texture applications. This product is part of the UT-100 series, formulated with cross-linking urethanes, acrylics, co-polymers, and recycled rubber granules to provide a durable, non-slip finish. It is non-submersible and suitable for various indoor and outdoor surfaces.
This coating dries to a flexible matte finish, typically achieving a thickness of 30-35 mils, which helps to conceal minor surface imperfections and enhance existing non-skid properties. The UT-119ST is odorless and available in a white color.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coating remains tacky after drying time | High humidity, low temperatures, insufficient ventilation, or excessive film thickness. | Ensure proper ventilation and temperature during application and drying. Apply thinner coats if necessary. Allow extended drying time in humid or cool conditions. |
| Poor adhesion or peeling | Improper surface preparation (e.g., surface not clean, oily, or dusty), incorrect primer used, or insufficient drying time between coats. | Thoroughly clean and prepare the surface as per instructions. Ensure the correct primer is used for the substrate. Allow adequate drying time for primers and between coats. |
| Uneven texture or coverage | Inconsistent application technique, improper mixing, or incorrect application tools. | Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed. Apply evenly using recommended tools (Tuff Coat roller or low-pressure hopper spray gun). Maintain a consistent application rate. |
