GRIP-IT T ANTI-SLIP FOR TILES

Grip-It T is a Professional Grade anti-slip treatment to create a permanent slip resistant micro-texture on the glaze of the tile. It is NOT a sealer or a coating. It will not peel or wear off or go yellow.

Makes wet, slippery surfaces safer e.g. bathrooms, kitchens, lounge rooms, swimming pool areas, balconies, living areas, main entrances, corridors etc.

It works by micro-etching the glaze of the tile. The longer it is allowed to dwell on the surface, the more micro-texture it creates, the more slip resistance is created. It is a permanent treatment.

Works on: glazed and unglazed ceramic, porcelain and tessellated tiles in domestic, commercial, indoor and outdoor areas.

Where to use: homes, supermarkets, airports, hotels, building foyers, retail stores, kitchens, restaurants, bars etc.

Test first: always test first in an inconspicuous area or on a spare tile to determine ease of application, the dwell time required to achieve the slip resistance you are happy with, colour and surface look stability and overall desired results. User must determine suitability for their use.

1. Protective gloves, eye, skin and foot protection and a watch for timing
2. XtremeClean+ or Stone Wash+ to clean and prepare the surface
3. Plastic buckets plus clean sponge, roller or mop to apply the product
4. Hose or separate bucket and mop plus plenty of clean water for rinsing
5. Tip: use a wet vac to help remove Grip-It T from the tile surface before rinsing with clean water

Surface preparation: use XtremeClean+ or Stone Wash+ as per label instructions to ensure a clean, dry surface before starting.

1. Sweep, vacuum or wipe tiles for a clean, dry surface
2. Pour Grip-It T into a plastic paint tray, bucket or container
3. Carefully apply Grip-It T evenly to the tile surface with a suitable clean sponge, roller or mop. Do not spray
4. Allow to dwell initially for about 5 minutes - the dwell period
5. After the 5 minute dwell period, test the amount of slip resistance created by using your shoe or a gloved hand in a scuffing/rubbing motion in the standing solution and keep track of the dwell time
6. If you are happy with the slip resistance created, rinse thoroughly with clean water (tip: use a wet vac to remove Grip-It T before rinsing)
7. If more slip resistance is required, leave the product on the surface longer and keep testing the amount of slip resistance created every 5 minutes as per step 5 until you achieve the desired result
8. Repeat the process as necessary to achieve your desired slip resistance
9. Do not allow product to dry on the surface - add more product to keep it wet and active on the surface

Approximately 10-15 m² per litre, depending on the slip resistance required and how many times the process needs to be repeated.

After successfully treating the surface, these products will help maintain the slip resistance:

• EzyClean+ for routine daily/weekly cleaning
• XtremeClean+ for periodic heavy duty cleaning

To help reduce soiling and staining and make ongoing cleaning and maintenance easier, seal the treated surface with Aqua-Seal Gold+.

Precautions:

• Read entire label, SDS and technical bulletin before using
• Use when surface temperature is between 4°C and 28°C
• Do not pour directly from the bottle onto the surface
• Do not allow product to come in contact with any polished or acid sensitive or non-recommended surfaces
• Do not pour in metal containers or mix with other chemicals
• May affect dark tiles, dark grouts, metal and polished surfaces
• Depending on how much anti-slip micro-texture is created, some dark coloured tiles can lighten in colour, and polished porcelain will start to lose its polished finish, going from polished to satin to matt
