ABATRON, INC. is excited to introduce TREAD SPREAD™, an easy-to-apply epoxy coating that exceeds OSHA and ADA recommendations for slip-resistance in both wet and dry conditions. TREAD SPREAD offers users a durable, cost-effective solution for adding traction to areas where proper footing is critical to safety. In contrast to tape-based traction support products, TREAD SPREAD will not lose adhesion to wet or completely submerged areas. TREAD SPREAD bonds to a variety of surfaces including concrete, wood, metal and fiberglass, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including: commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational and residential purposes.


TREAD SPREAD offers the following benefits:

  • Reduce the likelihood for slips and falls
  • Easy to mix and easy to apply
  • Extremely durable – lasts much longer than tapes
  • Use on wet, dry, and underwater surfaces


TREAD SPREAD is available for purchase in 2 pint, 2 quart and 2 gallon kits. Each gallon allows for 12 square feet of coverage at 1/8-inch thickness. Customers can choose from two colors, safety yellow or slate gray, depending on the requirements of their project.
