| |
| |
| Q. |
Has slipfree® been tested? |
| |
|
| A. |
slipfree® has been rigorously tested by one of the main testing labs in Spain with results exceeded all national standards for dry surfaces, even when wet. slipfree ® also has been qualified for high resistance to sliding by Lidycce laboratories one of the best for tests related for building materials and from which we have our certificate. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
In which fields has slipfree® been tried/tested? |
| |

| |
| |
| Q. |
Is slipfree ® secure to apply? |
| |
|
| A. |
One of the significant technological achievements by slipfree ® is that the contents of the product can be handled safely, provided that it’s applied with common sense and instructions are followed correctly. These are similar to those used for the use of paint strippers and wood preservers. We recommend standard security procedures |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Is slipfree ® safe for the environment? |
| |
|
| A. |
slipfree ® is safe and environmentally friendly. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
What is slipfree ®? |
| |
|
| A. |
slipfree ® is a new chemical formula that has been patented which modifies the molecular structure of the mineral based surfaces creating a slip-resistant area exceeding all standards for dry surfaces especially in wet conditions |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Why is slipfree ® different to other non slip products for surfaces? |
| |
|
| A. |
It improves dramatically the resistance to slippage in wet conditions when the majority of accidents occur.slipfree ® is a liquid product formulated especially for your
safety. Our fully experienced qualified team is trained to apply the product on different types of surfaces such as: marble, ceramic tiles, terracotta, tiles, granite flooring, cement surfaces etc… |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Will slipfree ® affect the durability of the surface? |
| |
|
| A. |
The treatment is microscopic and will not affect the durability of the surface; however it increases its grip enormously. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Will slipfree ® change the appearance of the area? |
| |
|
| A. |
Tests by an independent Spanish laboratory concluded there were no significant changes in appearance or texture of the treated surface. Some areas with high brightness can show a small decrease in shine. This is why we always recommend testing a small area prior to application. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Does slipfree ® increase the surface friction? |
| |
|
| A. |
Depending on the type of mineral surface, the increase in friction on a treated surface will increase when wet between 150% to 500%. These results were established by independent tests in a variety of wet surfaces and measured using the American Slip Mete. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
On what type of surfaces can slipfree ® be applied? |
| |
|
| A. |
It can be applied to the following surfaces: ceramic surfaces, tiles, porcelain, granite, marble, slate, concrete and other hard mineral surfaces. It is recommend not to be applied on diamond polished marble floors. slipfree ® IS NOT a temporary layer. It’s a permanent, superficial and invisible treatment which increases the “coefficient of friction”. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Does it affect the grout? |
| |
|
| A. |
slipfree ® does not affect the integrity or colour of the grout, it will simply clean it. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
How do I know if it works on a specific mineral surface? |
| |
|
| A. |
Our advice is to always try a small area (1 or 2 tiles) before undertaking on the full task. |
| |
| |
| Q. |
Can You treat a bath or shower surface with slipfree ®? |
| |
|
| A. |
Porcelain and enamelled baths respond extremely well to slipfree ® treatment. Fiberglas and other plastics can not be treated with slipfree ®. It works with any mineral based surface. |

-.Exteriors and porches: outdoor areas of your: homes, hotels, restaurants, urbanizations, residential areas etc, can become a slippery environment due to rainy weather, dew, frost or even watering. slipfree non slip treatment will reduce slippage in exterior areas.
-.Sports centers: Practicing sports is healthy and advisable, but also involves inevitable risks. Avoid maximum risks applying slipfree in areas with major danger where water or dampness is involved such as: changing rooms, tracks, stands etc.
-. Kitchens / Dining areas: In times of increased activity, kitchens and dining rooms of your hotel, restaurant, residence etc can become dangerous. Prevention is sensible and worthwhile; slipfree will avoid accidents due to water or any type of liquid.
