It is a chemical safety product that, when properly applied, greatly reduces the slip and fall incidents. Slip/falls are the #1 cause of Workman's Compensation claims and liability claims. Slip/falls are the #2 leading cause of injury throughout the United States (automobile accidents rank #1).

It creates a chemical reaction with the pores of the surface, resulting in a higher coefficient of friction. Surfaces are actually safer when wet than dry because of the increased friction allowing for safe, sure footing.

Yes! For many years, the only means for reducing slip/falls was by application of epoxy of other roughed substances, by installation of unsightly strips of grit paper, or expensive carpet runners, or rubber mats that need continuous replacement and generally are not attractive. Another method, commonly referred to as "stop-gap", utilizes the application of a strong acid that etches the top of the tile. By eating away the soft substances from the top, the stone particles are left. However, this method destroys the shine of the surface and leaves a sandpaper apearance and effect. As time and traffic passes, the tile will wear smooth again and the acid will actually seep through the tile, weakening the glue line and loosening the tiles. In addition, these surfaces are difficult to clean, maintain and keep attractive.

Basically, any stone material surface. The surface must be porous (ie. ceramic tile, quarry tile, terrrazzo, porcelain, concrete, brick and pool decking.)

Any surface that is non-porous (ie. cultured marble, plastic, linoleum or fiberglass), and any surface made from resin base.

Anything that interferes with the foot from making direct contact with the treated surface, (such as dirt, wax or ice) will prevent our solution from being effective.

Yes, just be certain the water does not freeze during its application.

Our solution is applicable to any stone surface, so porcelain tubs and ceramic shower stalls can be treated. However, any type of non-porous surface, such as fiberglass, cannot be treated.

The amount of force required to move an object across a given surface is measured as the coefficent of friction. The more force that is required to move an object (more friction), the safer the surface. A book used by attorneys to prepare cases of litigation involving slip/fall incidents cites the following readings: "A static anti-slip coefficient of friction of .50 or above is considered safe ... readings below .50 are considered unsafe". Tests have proven that our solution will improve the coefficient of friction from .60 up to 1.00.

Accepted Industry Standards

.60 or above - considered very safe
.50 to .59 - considered relatively safe
.40 to .49 - considered dangerous
.35 to .39 - considered very dangerous
.00 to .34 - unusually dangerous

O.S.H.A. stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They are the agency that sets certain safety standards for the industry.
