Slip resistance and slip friction
The slip friction and the slip resistance are safety-relevant properties. The slip friction, also coefficient of friction, is tested in dry condition and defines the technical class DS.
The slip resistance is tested in the inclined ramp and indicates the slip resistance classes R 9 to R 13 for working areas. In wet barefoot areas, classes A, B and C are given.
Suitable product types
