Common Concerns Answered
Is SEM GripTide™ difficult to apply?
While GripTide™ offers an easy one-step application, users mention it can be more challenging than single-component paints if you are unfamiliar with 2K systems. Proper surface preparation and careful mixing of the two components are critical for optimal results.

SEM GripTide™ utilizes a professional-grade, two-component urethane formula, delivering superior durability, chemical resistance, and grip compared to many single-component or water-based alternatives. This advanced formulation ensures a long-lasting, safe surface designed for demanding marine environments.
