The Science of Safety
Scientifically Proven
In testing done by the National Testing Standards, Inc of Anaheim California - performed and documented in accordance with A.S.T.M. procedures - SURE STEP was proven to increase the coefficient of friction of the treated surface by 200 - 400% when subjected to water.
Technically Speaking
A SURE STEP floor increases the coefficient of friction when a floor or surface gets wet. The result is that your foot will no longer slip out from under you. This higher coefficient of friction makes it dramatically more slip-resistant and therefore, safer.
Settling Softer Agents
All hard mineral floors and porcelain and enamel bathtubs are made up of both hard and soft agents. The SURE STEP Treatment settles the soft agents of the mineral surface leaving the hard agents exposed to provide a safe, secure, non-slip surface. The end result is that the floor and bathtub are actually safer wet than when dry.
Accepted Industry Standards
"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."
Coefficient of Friction
- .60 - Very Safe
- .50 - .59 - Relatively Safe
- .40 - .49 - Dangerous
- .35 - .39 - Very Dangerous
- .00 - .34 - Unusually Dangerous
