Dimension Grit™ In-Suspension Texturizer for Paints, Coatings, Primers

Multi-Functional Form Factor: Sponge-like in structure, tiny foamed-stone pumice stones are riven with nooks and crannys and sharp glassy edges that grab and hold. That complex form factor means Dimension Grit™ binds tightly into cured paints, primers, coatings, or resins.

Hard and Grippy. Dimension Grit™ is sourced from the Hess Pumice deposit in southeast Idaho, which features a consistent Mohs-scale hardness of 6. Compare that hardness to obsidian (also a volcanic glass, like pumice) with a hardness rating of 5. Ordinary steel hits between 4 and 4.5 on the Mohs Scale.

Stays in the Coating. So, Dimension Grit™ granules are hard enough to hold up, yet its friable foamed-stone form factor 1) binds tightly into the coating matrix and 2) tends to break down under load instead of popping out of the binding coat—in other words, pumice wears along with the coating. And its glassy character means those newly exposed edges are sharp and grippy.

Stays in Suspension. Because of the lightweight, frothy nature of pumice and its low specific gravity, Dimension Grit™ tends to stay in suspension (how long depends of viscosity of liquid). Heavier grits, like sand, will settle, requiring constant stirring or agitation or a last-minute sprinkle-in application right before applying.

THREE GRADE SIZES AVAILABLE

Dimension Grit: BABY BITE | Use for giving tooth to primers (like Primus™) that prepare gypsum wall board surfaces to take thin-coat (venetian-type) interior plasters. Also for paints where a subtle texture is desired while also serving as a functional filler/extender. Stir into gessos to achieve mildly textured surface for painting.

Dimension Grit: ROUGH BITE | Use for primers that prepare gypsum wall board surfaces to take thicker interior plasters. For paints and floor coatings where a roughened, traction texture is desired. Stir into gessos to achieve roughened, textured surface for painting.

Dimension Grit: MONSTER BITE | Use for non-slip floor and deck coatings.
