Does cleaning a tile surface make it slip resistance?<\/b><\/p>

Proper cleaning will reduce polymerization (mixture of grease, oil and dirt that becomes a wax like substance coating the surface) making the surface less slippery but it will not increase the co-efficient of friction (grip on dry surface) or the slip resistance (grip on a wet surface) as IguanaGrip Treatment does.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is Iguana grip?<\/b><\/p>

A process that creates microscopic texture on the surface and makes better traction on the surface of the tile which increases slip resistance from 50% up to 80%. This process significantly increases the co-efficient of friction by 0.5 to 0.7 and reduces the slip and fall problems on dangerous surfaces in wet conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How do you maintain a IguanaGrip treated floor?<\/b><\/p>

Normal cleaning products and procedures may be used on IguanaGrip treated surfaces. If during the warranty period the floor seems to feel slippery use a degreaser to remove any polymerization (a mixture of dirt, food particles and grease which creates a waxy film) which has built up and covered the surface like wax.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What about dark colored, dark patterned or high sheen tiles and surfaces?<\/b><\/p>

Do a test on one or two tiles in a corner. Apply IguanaGrip on the surface for 10 minutes. Rinse with water and test for wet slip resistance (push your feet on tile using force to push down and forward). Dry and check the appearance. If you want more slip resistance, repeat by one minute increases until you have the balance of grip and appearance that you want. Add all the time together for your final treatment time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What causes slippery floors?<\/b><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Causes<\/b>: High humidity, spillage, floor mopping, improper cleaning and wax coated floors.
Solution<\/b>: Wet floors causes slipperiness. The property that makes a floor slip-resistant in the presence of a lubricating contaminant such as water is its surface irregularity. The irregularities (like mountain peaks under a microscope) must be tall enough and sharp enough to extend upward through the lubricating film and engage the shoe bottom in a manner not unlike sandpaper. New floors, that seemed slip-resistant, quickly become slippery when wet as the irregularities become worn down and less jagged.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What causes ‘slip and fall’ accidents?<\/b><\/p>

It is usually a localized spot that is slipperier than the rest of the floor that causes the unsuspecting and unprepared pedestrian to slip and fall. In normal walking, the maximum traction demand is in the “pushing off” phase when the toe of the backward foot is in contact with the floor. If the pedestrian’s toe starts to slip backward, usually it does not present a fall hazard, but that occurrence tips off the human computer to the fact that there is a slippery surface under foot so the pedestrian applies a muscular bias against the slipping tendency and shortens up the stride so that the serious heel slide does not occur. People can walk safely on surfaces that are slipperier than ice, if they know of the hazard. In fact, some surfaces (such as dance floors and bowling alley approaches) are waxed to make them slippery, and nobody falls down from walking over them. But if an unexpected slippery spot occurs on a floor with an overall coefficient of friction of 0.5, a classic heel slip could be expected to occur. IguanaGrip Treatment makes the surface less slippery when wet than dry so the presence of a lubricant does not create an “unexpected slippery spot”.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
