Abstract
The present invention provides a method for preparing a slip-resistant surface on an engineered wood product. The method includes the steps of (i) providing an engineered wood product (panel), (ii) applying a slip-resistant surface coating system, which includes a liquid radiation-curable coating composition and a texturing agent, to at least a portion of at least one surface of the wood product (panel); and (iii) curing the composition. In a preferred embodiment the coating composition is substantially free of solvent and radiation-curable. The coating composition may be applied in one or more layers, and the coating composition is in the form of a UV-curable coating composition.
