Industrial Strength Anti-Slip Floor Treatment

FOOTHOLD creates microstructures on the treated surface that act as tiny suction cups. This significantly increases the coefficient of friction, preventing slipping when the surface is wet. The treatment works on all natural surfaces, including:

> Ceramic
> Granite
> Terrazzo
> Marble
> Quarry Tile
> Concrete
> Slate
> Porcelain

The wetter the floor, the more effective the slip resistance. FOOTHOLD can be used on indoor and outdoor surfaces with equal effectiveness, and a single treatment will last for several years.

FOOTHOLD is also simple and easy to apply. Clean the surface to be treated, spray FOOTHOLD on until entire surface is coated, wait ten minutes, and then rinse floor. One gallon will treat a 400-square-foot area. It is not affected by chlorine, acids or alkalis. Surface can be washed with abrasive cleansers without diminishing the effectiveness of the treatment.

FOOTHOLD is recommended for use in hotels, hospitals, restaurants, fast food chains, food processing and industrial plants, swimming pool decks, shopping malls, department stores, food markets, senior care, schools, nursing homes, rail and subway stations, airport terminals, and any area where slipping accidents could be a problem.

This product can also be used in homes on tile kitchen floors, ceramic bathtubs, tile showers, and tile areas surrounding whirlpools and hot tubs. FOOTHOLD actually makes the surfaces safer wet than dry!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Could you tell me about FOOTHOLD and how it works?

A: FOOTHOLD is an easy-to-apply, non-slip treatment that works on many surfaces, including porcelain, concrete, slate and ceramic. The FOOTHOLD solution creates microstructures on the surface that act as suction cups when wet, providing greatly improved traction.

Q: Will FOOTHOLD change the appearance of my bathtub or ceramic tile?

A: Initially, there may be a slight haze, which is normal. After time and normal use, the haze will fade and the appearance of the treated surface will be as before.

Q: How long does it take to apply?

A: For the average shower or bathtub, the application takes about fifteen minutes. Larger areas like kitchen floors or industrial/commercial floors will take longer depending on the size of the area to be treated.

Q: When can I walk on my treated floor or use my bathtub or ceramic tile shower stall?

A: FOOTHOLD needs to remain on the surface for only ten minutes, then rinsed with water. Once the area has been rinsed, it is ready to be used.

Q: How long does the treatment last?

A: A single treatment of FOOTHOLD will last from one to three years in commercial/industrial settings where traffic is extremely high, and five years in residential settings. Areas treated with FOOTHOLD can be scrubbed with abrasive cleaners with no detrimental effect to the anti-slip properties. However, waxing the floor will negate the effect of FOOTHOLD as the wax will fill in the microstructures and recreate a smooth surface.

Q: What do I need to apply FOOTHOLD?

A: Everything you need to apply the FOOTHOLD treatment is provided when you purchase the product.

Q: Do you offer a Guarantee?

A: Yes, FOOTHOLD is guaranteed to keep surfaces anti-slip for one to three years in commercial use and five years in residential use.
