SLIP RESISTANCE
7Pages

TECHNICAL INFO Pedestrian safety is a critical objective and the slip resistance of a walking surface is an important one. Specific requirements are established for areas with higher risk of slipping because of type of traffic or risk of contamination on the floor (such as water, oils, food, dirtyness or barefoot use). SEVASA non slip glass for floors, stair treads and ramps is growing in popularity because of their high slip resistance coefficient, the wide range of finishes and designs -from transparent to translucent (specially needed when there’s a possibility for inappropriate lines of sight and there’s a concern for modesty)-, the aesthetic appeal and the daylighting benefits they bring to a space. SEVASA NON SLIP METHODS AND CERTIFICATIONS ASTM Cl028 - SLIP RESISTANCE This test method from the American Society for Testing and Materials determines the static coefficient of friction, under both wet and dry conditions over both unprepared and prepared (cleaned) test glass surfaces. SEVASA non-slip floor glass: Exceeds the established minimum coefficient of friction of 0,80 at ramps and 0,60 at floors and stairs. Values might differ depending on dry or wet conditions. Please consult with Sevasa your project to define model. OTHER SEVASA TEST METHODS AND CERTIFICATIONS Test Methods UL 410 (Slip Resistance Floor Surface Materials), DIN 51130 (Shoe Shod Ramp), DIN 51097 (Barefoot Ramp) and Pendulum Test UNE EN 12633 (friction under wet and dry conditions) are specially designed to fit the specific law requirements and recommendations for those areas with risk of slipping. Not all countries have specific legislation regarding slip resistance, but the high-level of these criteria and DIN’s results have become the higher reference amongst architects and specifiers around the world.

UL 410 - SLIP RESISTANCE FLOOR SURFACE MATERIALS This method establishes the static coefficient of friction of the glass surface tested as received and tested after used (by standard method to force the surface to a heavily used condition). SEVASA non-slip floor glass: Coefficient of friction values ranges over 0,6% and 0,8% depending on design and test. Please consult with Sevasa your project to define model. This method fits the specific requirements detailed by the German Social Insurance Body “Berufsgenossenschaft’ for those areas with risk of slipping. This method fits the specific...
