GripTread products exceed all standards for coefficient of friction and recommended guidelines for slip resistance referenced by:
| GripTread Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) |
ADA 0.60-0.80 |
ANSI A137.1/A326.3 0.42 |
IBC 0.42 |
NFPA 0.47-0.68 |
OSHA 0.50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Wet (avg.): 0.92 | |||||
| Aluminum Wet (avg.): 0.96 |
certified independent laboratories have tested GripTread products in accordance with various testing methods.
The dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) ANSI A137.1/A326.3 test is primarily a wet test for level floors that are expected to get wet in use. The Sustainable Slip Resistance (SSR) test assesses both the DCOF of new flooring, as well as the slip risk after the flooring has been through a simulated wear which would be equal to approximately 12 to 24 months of use. You can find the results of these tests below.
