Antisklibelegg

Antisklibelegg is a coined term used to describe an ideal anti-slip coating intended to reduce slip hazards on walking surfaces. Conceptually, it refers to a coating that maintains high friction across a range of conditions (dry, wet, oily) while preserving durability, appearance, and ease of cleaning. It is not a single commercial product but a target in safety and materials research.

The word appears to combine "anti-slip" with "belegg" or "legg" variants found in Scandinavian languages for coating or layer, suggesting a focus on surface treatment.

Key properties include a high dynamic and static friction coefficient, long wear life, chemical and UV resistance, and stability under temperature and humidity changes. Micro- and nano-texturing, together with embedded hard particles or structured surfaces, are common approaches to achieve traction without creating trip hazards.

Various formulations exist, including polymeric emulsions with ceramic beads, textured epoxy, or breathable polyurethane systems. Applications span indoor floors, stair treads, ramps, vehicle decks, and outdoor walkways where slipping risks are highest.

Limitations include wear-down with heavy traffic, staining, and maintenance needs. Real-world performance depends on surface condition and cleaning; coatings must be selected to meet local safety guidelines and tested with relevant friction measurements.
