GripOn Anti-Slip Hard Surface Safety Solution, 5 Gallon

Apply this anti-slip treatment to increase safety. Stop slippery floors around swimming pools, in tiled bathrooms and on all concrete, stone and other flooring that water or mopping makes unsafe. Applying Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution to slippery wet floors whenthe floor is dry reduces the risk and dangers of slip/falls on hard surfaces like ceramic tile, glazed brick, marble, polished stone, terrazzo, river rock, concrete, and quarry tile. Floor coatings can change floor's appearance: GripOn is invisible and reduces slips and falls.

Grip On® Anti Slip Solution: 5 Gallons (640 Oz.) treats about 2000 Sq. Ft. of hard surface.The increa sed coefficient of friction gained when surfaces are treated (not coated) with Grip On® Antislip Solution is a positive proven safety solution for owners of residential and commercial properties and facilities. Surfaces treated with Grip On® non slip coating are automatically skid and slip resistant when wet or moistened. Use Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution on almost all hard surfaces, such as ceramic tile, glazed brick, marble, polished stone, terrazzo, river rock, concrete, and quarry tile. Make an anti slip surface on porcelain enamel bathtubs to increase bathroom safety.

Grip On®'s Simple Application Instructions:

• Clean and rinse area.
• Pour Grip On™ on surface.
• Mop or sponge area liberally.
• Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Rinse off with clean water.
• Area is now ready to use.

After treatment, do not wax. Wax fills in the enhanced tread created by the Grip On™ treatment. Reapply every 2 years for bath and shower areas. Reapply every year for traffic areas.

Why use antislip Grip On? Slip/fall accidents are a major problem. The statistics are substantial. After auto accidents, SLIP/FALL ACCIDENTS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF INSURANCE LIABILITY PAYMENTS. In addition, slip/fall accidents, paid for by workers' compensation claims, have greatly increased over the last 10 years. Keep your feet on the ground!

Static Coefficient of Friction for Grip On Anti-Slip Solution

A static anti-slip coefficient of friction of .50 or above is considered a safe walkway surface with a dry condition. A reading below .50 is considered an unsafe walkway surface. (Source: Slip and Fall Handbook, by SI Rosen, Hanrow Press)

The CEF is dramatically reduced when an untreated flat tile surface is subjected to water or other wetting agents. The CEF of a Grip On Anti-Slip Solution treated surface complies with the above industry standards. LEGAL DEFINITIONS OF NEGLIGENCE: Failure to use a reasonable amount of care when such failure results in injury or damage to another.

Accepted Industry Standards

1. As adopted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the American Society of A Testing and Materials (ASTM):

.75 and above using Grip-On Anti-Slip Solution
.60 or above Very Safe
.50 to .59 Relatively Safe
.40 to .49 Dangerous
.35 to .39 Very Dangerous

2. The Ceramic Tile Institute identifies tile in three categories:

.75 and above using Grip-On? Anti-Slip Solution
.60 or above Slip Resistant
.50 to .59 Conditionally Slip Resistant
Less than .50 Questionable

Q: How does Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution work?
A: Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution microscopically treats floor or fixture surfaces to bring back the natural void via the treads in the surface material. Depending upon the void in a natural material (before being coated), the material is naturally slip resistant. When water fills in that void, the floor becomes slippery as the water doesn't allow space between the water and the bottom of your foot and you "hydroplane" like a car on a wet road.

Adding Grip On® thus increases the coefficient of friction on a tile floor or a porcelain bathtub. This is not a coating that can wear off: this is a process that creates a tread design on the mineral surface itself

Q: Does the treated surface look or feel any different?
A: There is no discernible change in appearance. However, when wet, the feeling is SAFE!

Q: Why is there a need for Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution?
A: Slip/Fall accidents are the nation's #2 accidental killer. Over 9 million disabling injuries every year. Business insurance rates are skyrocketing. Increases of 25% annually are common.

Q: How long is the Grip On® guarantee?
A: 2 years for bathtubs and showers. 1 year for traffic areas.

Q: Is Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution difficult to apply?
A: No, Grip On® is easy to apply. One worker can treat hard surfaces at the rate of 600 square feet per hour, per worker. Bathtubs require less than 10 minutes with no strenuous work.

Q : Does Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution kill germs?
A: The chemical in Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution is known to inhibit bacterial and fungi growth and to kill some bacteria and fungi. Test data is being gathered on germ killing and will be available at a later date.

Q: If my floor is sealed, can I still use Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution?
A: Yes, Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution works through most floor seals and effectively applies the “invisible tread.” Two applications may be required for sealed floors.

Q: What if there is grease on my floor?
A: Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution loosens grease, making it easier to remove any grease on your floor. More than one application may be required. Once again, it may take more than one application. Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution will loosen all hardened grease on your floor.

Q: Can I wax over the Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution?
A: NO. Wax fills in the “invisible tread” that Grip On® Anti-Slip Solution placed on your floor. We recommend a dry buff to bring up the shine.
