Why does the product only come in 946ml tins and not 5 litres?
This was a business decision to protect you and us from hassle and loss of product during transportation. The positive aspect about shipping the paint in smaller parts is that if the courier damages the product during transportation only a small amount of the paint is lost and needs to be replaced.
Why is this product so expensive compared to others on the market?
The answer here is simple, it is an epoxy coating. Epoxy in general is expensiveto produce but has massive benefits when considering durability over otheroptions like polyurethane and acrylic (water-based) non-skid paints. Before launchingour non-skid paint over 10 years ago we considered all options and could haveeasily gone with the cheaper route, but we always focused and continue to focuson quality of our products and safety of our customers first.
