How to Make Floors Anti-Slip
How do you make floors anti-slip? UDT customizes your coating to provide the exact slip resistance needed to keep your facility’s floors safe.
To reduce slip risks and keep floors looking their best, we recommend combining EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish with one of our Ultra Grip or UDT Aggregate Additive products. Add Ultra Grip or UDT Aggregate to EPIC. Your floors will become safe surfaces that deliver both traction and strength.
Watch the following 1-minute video to learn about the importance of traction additives.
ANSI Standards Updated
According to the February 2022 release of the updated ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard A326.3:
- Hard surface coatings to have a dry dynamic coefficient of friction (dry DCOF) of at least 0.42 in dry interior settings.gs.
- It also requires a wet dynamic coefficient of friction (wet DCOF) of at least 0.42 in wet interior settings.
UDT can tailor EPIC to help your floors meet or exceed these standards by adding traction additives. You can also customize it for interior areas that occasionally become wet or oily/greasy. See the updated standard HERE.
Added Benefit of Traction Additives
Our Ultra Grip and UDT Aggregate Additives not only provide crucial traction but also deliver excellent abrasion resistance. Abrasion resistance means a floor can resist surface wear caused by constant rubbing and contact from foot traffic, machines, and moving furniture.
Many Options for Different Needs
Choose from a variety of grit levels to achieve your desired resistance and light reflection. Simply put, finer particles produce less shine in the final product. We offer Ultra Grip in Fine, Medium, and Coarse grits, and UDT Aggregate Additives in #240 and #120 grits. Use EPIC and its wear additives on VCT, luxury vinyl, linoleum, tile & grout, terrazzo, and concrete floors.
