General Description

The following “Technical Specifications for Anti-Slip Products” explain how anti–slip flooring panels and treads provide a quick, safe, effective solution to slippery pedestrian and vehicle traffic areas where slips and falls are a potential hazard. Easy to install using our recommended polyurathane mastic “Purflex” and/or screws or bolts.

Weight of Panel

Thickness [mm]	Weight [kg/m2]
3.5 4 5 6	6.80 7.80 9.70 10.80

Fire Resistance

Products can be manufactured to different degree of fire resistance:

1. General Purpose (GP grade – all products)
2. BS 476 Part 7 Class 1 (surface spread of flame, all products)
3. BS 476 Part 6 Class ‘O’ (heat release, all products)
4. BS 476 Part 7 Class 2 (surface spread of flame, all products)
5. Phenolic

Surface Profiles

Type of grit: Fused Alumina – other types such quartz or bauxite are available to special order. Standard grit is available in 4 grades:

• Ultra-Fine
• Fine
• Medium
• Coarse

Thermal Co-Efficient of Expansion

30 x 10­^(-6) /Deg C
Note: Compared with many other plastics GRP has minimal expansion and contraction characteristics and will not bow and warp in extremes of temperature.

Thermal Conductivity

GRITTED PLATE: 0.2 w/mK

Colour Range

Black, Grey (RAL 7001) and Yellow (08 E 51) colour as a standard. Although panels can be manufactured to the following:

1. B.S. 4800 Colour Range
2. B.S. 5252 Colour Range
3. RAL Colour Range

A colour match service is also available.

Flexural Strength

193 MPa
Note: Flexural strength can be enhanced by the addition of woven reinforcement if required.

Tensile Strength

123MPa

Tensile Modulus

7.1 GPa
Note: GRP sheet is up to seven times stronger than mild steel on a weight for weight basis.

Size & Thickness

Panels can be manufactured to any length but with a width restriction of 1525mm. Standard product range can be manufactured to literally any thickness from 4mm upward.

Logistics

Panels are usually supplied on pallets and can be delivered anywhere in the UK within approximately 7-10 working days under normal circumstances. Each panel can be marked with a location code and panel size on the protective covering of the goods if required.

Pendulum Test

Sample Ref	Surface Finish	Surface Roughness Rz	Surface Temperature oC	Orientation	Pendulum Test Value
					Dry	Wet
F66326	Medium Grit	54.5	24	Along	90	83
				Across	98	85
F66324	Fine Grit	64.7	24	Along	103	87
				Across	100	88
The TRL pendulum Tester has a range of readings from 0 to 150, high values indicating good slip resistance. Guidance on the interpretation of results using the Four S Slider is suggested by the UK Slip Resistance Group as follows:
Potential For Slip			Pendulum Test Value
High			– 24
Moderate			25 – 35
Low			36+

Exceptional Anti-Slip Surface: BS7976-2
