Slip Resistance – Getting The Right Resin Floor For You

Different resin floors have different degrees of slip resistance, you need to fully research what is right for you in terms of material and the best company to go to as anti slip resin flooring suppliers.

The slip resistance of a floor should ALWAYS be measured under production conditions. Most floors offer good slip resistance in dry conditions therefore it is easy for suppliers to provide acceptable results, but the best anti slip resin flooring suppliers will be able to demonstrate how and why their product and installation is best, and be able to show you case studies and past examples.

There are a number of test methods used to determine slip resistance, the Pendulum test is most common. This method measures the coefficient of friction and relates to a PTV value, anything >40 is low risk of slip.

Another method is the German Ramp Test method which produces an R rating. The rating scale can be confusing and can often lead to misinterpretation and coincidently the wrong specification. The scale runs from R9-R13, with R9 being the most slippery of floor surfaces. The misconception is that the scale runs from R1 and therefore in some Cases R9 is specified as a slip resistant floor, however this is not the case.

A few questions you should think about asking before deciding which system to install:

Q: Can the flooring suppliers provide slip test data?
Q: Are these results tested in wet and dry conditions?
Q: Have these tests been undertaken with different footwear sole materials?
Q: Do the results provide adequate readings under your production conditions?
