And the sand or silica is what grinds into the substrate like
sandpaper and causes the whole lot to shed off after a few years.

I don't think a Latex paint is recommend for this application. This

that someone recommended to mix it with a marine paint. I
assume that a polyurethane paint would never mix well with a Latex

it doesn't look like it is made for boat decks.

I thought someone else would suggest it. There are two well known
things to add to a good deck paint. One is cork. Take a saw and save
the sawdust from sawing cork. Sift out the fine stuff. The larger
"cork sawdust" will give a good non-skid in a good topsides paint.
The other is regular sand or silica sand. Sift it to remove the
fine dust and the oversized sand. You can have a very aggressive
non-skid or a regular non-skid. It depends upon how much and what size
you use. If your non-skid is too aggressive, add another coat of paint
and it will be less aggressive.
Simple, good, inexpensive....
