Anti Slip Treatment Features
The long lasting solution to the problem of dangerous slippery when wet hard floor tiles.
Increases co-efficient of friction on floor surfaces to meet and exceed HSE minimum requirements of the surface when wet.
Lasts for years,  not a coating that will wear off.
Suitable for stone surfaces including ceramic, quarry tile, terrazzo, granite, marble, concrete, slate, porcelain etc.
Only treatment system in the world available in custom formulations for different floor surfaces.
Very effective in areas susceptible to water spills or accumulation.
Routine maintenance and cleaning of the floor to remove dirt, grease, oil and foreign substances is required in order to maintain the lifespan the anti slip properties.
 
Benefits of No Skidding Anti-Slip Floor Treatment Applications
Eliminates accidents caused by slippery floors
Effective under wet and dry conditions
Single application, lasts for 5 years or more
Can be used indoors and outdoors
Invisible, does not alter the appearance
Rejuvenates old and worn tiles
Kills bacteria and deters regrowth
Requires no drying or curing time
 
How anti slip treatment works.
No Skidding Treatment helps prevent slip and fall accidents by creating an invisible thread on the floor surfaces and significantly increases the Coefficient of Friction (COF)
Our treatment is carefully formulated to dissolve a controlled amount of silica so as to create thousands of minute, shallow indentations in the surface. The profile is so subtle it cannot be seen or felt, Because the profile sits below the level of surface it does not affect the floor when you cleaning it.
When the surface is wet with water these shallow indentations fill, when you stand on the wet surface & your foot starts to slide, the water is squeezed out of the indentations turning them into thousands of suction cups that stops your foot from slipping.

A Static anti-slip coefficient of friction of .50 and above is considered a safe walkway surface with a dry condition. A reading below .50 is considered an unsafe walkway surface.

The coefficient of friction is reduced when an untreated flat hard mineral walkway is subjected to a wetting agent.

A walkway surface treated with Anti Slip is actually safer in a wet condition than a dry untreated surface
 
Floor slipperiness is tested before and after treatment to ensure it meets the standards in the slip risk classification above by using the ASTM digital slip test apparatus.
