Kennel & Cattery Paint
Kennel & Cattery Paint
Anti-bacterial two part epoxy coating designed for kennels, catteries and animal shelters.
Anti-Slip Flooring
Non-Slip Aggregate can be added between coats to create an anti-slip surface. Approx 5kg of aggregate is usually required per 30 squared metres and can be purchased here.
Technical Data
1. DESCRIPTION
Antel’s Kennel & Cattery Paint is a heavy duty, two-part epoxy resin for coating high traffic areas with animals. Our unique paint is safe for animals, antibacterial, easy to clean and extremely tough wearing and long-lasting.
2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Kennel & Cattery Paint has been further enhanced by the addition of a highly effective anti-microbial agent that has a 99.999% kill rate against E. Coli and MRSA.
The additive contained will not leach and has no environmental impact.
The antibacterial additive’s effectiveness is unaffected by: Scratching or abrasion, UV exposure, salt spray, temperature cycling, cleaning chemicals including chlorine bleach, disinfectants, quaternary ammonium compounds and is effective for the life time of the coating. The active ingredient is effective against most bacteria including Listeria Monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Aspergillus Niger and specifically tested against MRSA and E. Coli.
3. OTHER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
High build—200+ µm per coat.
Good early strength characteristics.
Very high chemical resistance.
Great resistance to heavy traffic.
Can be made non-slip.
Superb adhesion to concrete.
Dustproof and waterproof.
Impermeable to water and other liquids.
Provides a closed hygienic surface.
Decorative finish.
4. USES
- Kennels
- Catteries
- Animal Centres
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
5.1 PREPARATION
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COATING CAN BE SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED IF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO
Do not apply in temperatures below 10 °C/50 °F and ensure there is at least a 4 hour weather window. We do not recommend application late in the day, due to dropping temperatures and increased humidity.
Although Kennel & Cattery Paint will overcoat most other finishes and paints, the best results are achieved when surfaces are clean and free of other finishes/coatings. If applying over an existing coating or to a non-porous surface, mechanically sand the area to create a key.
All surfaces should be dry. Particular attention should be made to degreasing surfaces before application. All voids and surface imperfections must be carefully filled.
Clean the surface you will be applying the Kennel & Cattery Paint to. If there are any leaks, these should be repaired with Antel Waterstop or Antel Epoxy Putty before application. If unsure, please contact us for technical advice.
The pot life is approximately 45 minutes. This is based on a temperature of 20 °C/68 °F. If you are applying the coating in higher temperatures, the pot life may be reduced. The material will become unworkable once outside of this pot life.
Once mixed, it is only possible to apply a single coat. Do not attempt to return to the mix to apply a second coat.
5.2. MIXING
For simplicity we would recommend using separate tins of Kennel & Cattery Paint for each coat, however if you would like to use one set of tins (A & B Pack) for both coats, you will need to accurately divide the A and B packs proportionately using digital scales.
1. Mix the A Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.
2. Mix the B Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.
3. Pour the contents of the B Pack into the larger A Pack.
4. Mix again thoroughly on a slow speed (ideally with a mixer paddle) for a minimum of three minutes, so that the two components are completely mixed.
5. Pour into at least one roller tray to maintain pot life.
6. Start application immediately.
5.3. APPLICATION STEPS
1. Apply the first coat by short pile roller or brush.
2. Wait 24 hours before applying the second coat. Reduced time between coats maybe possible, but it’s very important to seek technical advice from Antel before attempting this.
3. Within a maximum period of 48 hours, apply the second coat.
6. PACKAGING AND COVERAGE
Available in 5 Kg packs. Coverage is 15-20m2/5Kgs
7. CLEANING
Brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned with Antel’s Standard Epoxy Cleaning Solvent.
8. STORAGE
Store in a dry, cool, and frost free place in their original containers.

Slip Resistance
Over a third of all major injuries reported each year are caused as a result of a slip or trip. Health and Safety.
Executive statistics suggest that there is one serious slip accident every 3 minutes.
Using the TRL Pendulum Slip/ Skid Resistance Tester in accordance with BS 7976-2, Slip/Skid Resistance Testing can be carried out to assess the floor surface slipperiness in workplace and public areas.
Facilities managers, local authorities and building owners are under obligation to ensure the floor or surface of the traffic route is not slippery so there is no risk of injury to any person. This is enforced by the "Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992".
The UK HSE’s preferred method for Slip assessment is based on a combination of two values:
- Pendulum coefficient of friction (CoF) test resulting in a PTV rating
- Surface roughness value (Rz)
Surface Micro Roughness Assessment/Testing
Research has shown that measurement of the RZ parameter allows slipperiness to be predicted for a range of common materials. A roughness reading can be used as supporting evidence with the results of a pendulum test. |
The pendulum test value (PTV) should be not less than 35 in situations where ease of cleaning is more critical than slip resistance and/or where all who use or are likely to use the floor will wear specially provided slip resistant boots or shoes. Pendulum test values in the wet of not less than 33 may be deemed acceptable.
