SECTION 09610
SLIP-RESISTANT FLOOR TREATMENT
Slip Tech is the industry leader in non-slip technology. Our unique process creates a coefficient of friction complying with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) quidelines. Slip Tech can be applied to concrete, ceramic or quarry tile, marble and granite, terrazzo, and similar flooring and paving materials, as well as porcelain bath, tubs and showers in new or existing construction.
Review Slip Tech product literature, then edit guide specification to meet project requirements. This document is available in word processing format from Slip Tech and at the Slip Tech website.

1.02 REFERENCES
A. ASTM C1028 - Evaluating the Static Coefficient of Friction of Ceramic Tile and Other Like Surfaces by the Horizontal Dynamometer Pull Method.
1.03 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
According to ADA Accessibility Guidelines, "A static coefficient of friction of 0.6 is recommended for accessible routes and 0.8 for ramps." Specify other requirements if applicable.
- A. Static Coefficient of Friction, ASTM C1028, Wet and Dry:
1. Level Surfaces: [0.6] [____] minimum.
- 2. Sloped Surfaces with [1:24] [______] or Greater Rise: [0.8] [____] minimum.
1.04 SUBMITTALS
A. Submittals shall be in accordance with Section [01300] [___].
B. Product Data: Submit manufacturer's product data sheet and maintenance instructions.
Retain the following in a new construction. Etching may effect appearance or gloss of treated surface.
C. Samples: On samples of flooring materials specified in other sections, apply slip resistant treatment to half the surface to demonstrate general performance and appearance of proposed treatment. Submit [two] [___] treated samples.
D. Applicator qualifications: Submit letter from Manufacturer stating approval of Applicator.
1.05 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A.Manufacturer Qualifications: Manufacturer shall have not less than ten years experience producing slip-resistant treatments
B. Applicator Qualifications: Application shall be performed by Manufacturer or firm approved by Manufacturer.
The following is not generally required but may be retained on large project, existing projects where samples can not be treated off-site, or if justified by special conditions.
C.[Field Samples] [Mock-ups]: Treat [100 sq. ft. (9 m sq.)] [____] and notify [Architect] [_______] to allow for [observation] [testing] before proceeding with application.
1.06 DELIVER, STORAGE & HANDLING
A.Comply with Manufacturer's instructions and Section [01600] [_____].
1.07 PROJECT CONDITIONS
A.Environmental Requirements: Provide ventilation of enclosed areas. Guard against over spray during windy conditions.
1.08 WARRANTY
A.Special Warranty: Provide Manufacturer's five year prorated limited warranty.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.01 MANUFACTURERS
A.Acceptable Manufacturer: Slip Tech, Inc., phone 800-667-5470 or visit website at www.sliptech.com.
B.Substitutions: Comply with [Instructions to Bidders] [Section 01600] [__________] for substitution request procedures. Submit evidence documenting manufacturer's qualifications and ability of proposed products to produce specified results.
2.02 MATERIALS
A. Etching Solution:
1.Slip Tech Non Slip DS containing not less than 20 percent hydrofluoric acid.
2.Materials shall be capable of microscopically etching treated surface; coatings are not acceptable.
3.Dilute and mix in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for type of flooring and conditions of treatment.
B. Water: Clean and potable.
C.Accessories: Provide as required for Project conditions:
1.Floor stripping and cleaning agents.
2. Masking materials.
2.03 EQUIPMENT
A.Provide spray equipment and, if treated surfaces lack adequate drainage, provide water extraction equipment.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A.Examine floor for existing damage or other conditions detrimental to application of treatment. Do not proceed until conditions have been corrected.
3.02 PREPARATION
A.Protection: Mask or protect adjacent construction which is not to be treated or which may be damaged by treatment.
B.SuRface Preparation: Strip existing waxes and sealers and degrease floors if required. Surfaces shall be "squeaky" clean and thoroughly rinsed.
3.03 APPLICATION
A. Spray apply in accordance with Manufacturer's instructions to obtain specified slip resistance.
B.Thoroughly rinse chemicals from surface after treatment with water. Drain or extract chemicals and water and allow treated surfaces to dry.
C.Remove masking and protection from adjacent construction.
3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Since the slip-resistance of treated surfaces can generally be observed by walking on treated surface, site tests are not typically required. The following can be retained, however, if Project has special conditions or critical requirements.
A.Site Tests: Test treated surfaces in accordance with ASTM C1028. Conduct one test for every [5,000 sq. ft. (465 m sq.)] [_______] treated. Comply with requirements of Section [01400] [_____].
3.05 SCHEDULE
Included schedule of surfaces to be treated if not clearly shown on Drawings.
A.Treat [stone] [tile] [_______] [flooring] [and] [paving] at [exterior locations,] [vestibules,] [lobby,] [and] [___________].
