Problem solving with Customized Cleaning Specifications for those problem floors. |
|
Technical support for ongoing maintenance using Anti Slip Maintenance Cleaners. |
|
Some popular Examples of applications already carried out. |
|
Y-Slip is a patented chemical formulation that modifies the molecular structure of mineral floors, creating a slip resistant surface that exceeds dry floor standards in wet conditions. |
|
Y-Slip treatment is microscopic and will not affect the durability of the floor, however the resulting increase traction is enormous. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Y-SLIP different from other anti slip floor treatments?
Y-SLlP is an installed
treatment, applied by our certified contractors, but it is not a topical
coating. Over the years, attempts have been made to reduce slip/fall accidents
by applying epoxies and other substances containing abrasives, or gluing gritty
pads to the floor. There are also products that contain high concentrations of
strong acids that remove the glaze from a tile. These out dated measures destroy
the natural beauty of floors, are unhygienic and very hard to maintain.
Will Y-SLlP change the look of the floor surface?
Y-SLlP
works practically invisibly. Independent tests by a
leading US testing laboratory concluded that there is no significant change to
the surface appearance or to the texture of the treated floor. Some very high
gloss floors may show a small reduction in sheen, which is why we always
recommend testing a small area before application.
What types of surfaces can Y-SLlP be applied to?
Y-SLlP can be applied to ceramic and quarry tile, porcelain, granite, slate,
concrete and other hard mineral surfaces. It works on marbles although we
recommended that Y-SLlP not be applied to diamond polished marble floors.
What about dark, coloured, patterned, or high sheen tiles and surfaces?
Y-SLlP will handle them all. However the quality of tiles varies greatly and
all surfaces should be tested prior to treatment.
Will the grout be affected?
Y-SLlP
will not affect the integrity or colour of the grout, it will simply clean it.
How do I know if
Y-SLlP will work on a specific mineral surface?
We will test a small area ( 1 or 2 tiles ) before undertaking a full treatment.
Can Y-SLlP be applied on a waxed or sealed floor?
Y-SLlP works only when applied directly to mineral surfaces. The wax or
sealer must be completely removed prior to applying the treatment. If a wax or
sealer is applied after the treatment, it will negate the process.
Has Y-SLlP been tested?
Y-SLlP has been rigorously tested by one of Americas leading independent
testing laboratories and the results exceed all national standards for dry
floors, even when wet. Y-SLlP has also been certified as a slip
resistance by Underwriters Laboratory Inc; one of the nations leading testing
and certification laboratories.
Is Y-SLlP safe for the environment?
Y-SLlP is safe and environmentally friendly. Y-SLlP is safe and environmentally friendly.
How do you main
Y-SLlP treated floors should be maintained with the patented Actium cleaner. Maintenance is an essential part of any floor safety program. Y-SLlP has formulated the Actium Maintenance Cleaner, that is designed to ensure maximum slip resistance, which is obviously ideal for a Y-SLlP treated floor.
