We tested SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coatings with the world's most precise and accurate test device for assessing floor slip resistance safety - the pendulum DCOF tester. It has a peer-reviewed published test method in over 50 nations on five continents, and has been in use for well over 50 years now. ASTM E303-22 is the USA's version of the pendulum test, but there's different pendulum tests published in the European Union, The United Kingdom, Australia, Israel, Singapore, India, China, and dozens of other countries all around the world.
We also tested, just for those who prefer not using proven international science, with the BOT-3000E, which should never be used to assess safety based on the fact that the ANSI A326.3 test method specifically states that you shouldn't use the test to assess safety, and it admits that the BOT-3000E has problems with precision.
We also tested with ASTM's now-withdrawn C1028 SCOF test because it is sometimes needed for "old-school" specifications, even though the test was withdrawn by the ASTM in 2014, never to return.
Want to see SparkleTuff tested with both the pendulum and the BOT-3000E by a third-party independent slip test lab? Here's a video of that.
SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating has the same slip resistance as a professional basketball court as specified by ASTM when it is dry. SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating passes any wet slip resistance safety test easily!
SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coatings, with it's wet sustainable slip resistance (SSR), retains great slip resistance even after a million people have walked across it. Other anti-slip floor treatments come in a bottle with a bunch of water added. These acid etches (that often claim to NOT be acid etches) are temporary solutions that you'll have to do again and again every six months or so. SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating will last for a decade or more in most situations! That's why we have no problem offering a five-year limited warranty.
