A business that welcomes customers onto it's property has a duty to keep them reasonably safe. An "unreasonable" condition that contributes to a fall can lead to an injury claim against the business.
With SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment, "unreasonable" conditions are dramatically lessened with the help of Nanotechnoloy.
Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications like our Patented NS100 Nano Spike Floor Treatment.
SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment dramatically increases the Coefficient of Friction (COF) of a floor surface, making it safer when wet.
Millions of invisible Nano-Spikes across your floor’s surface to increase traction.
Biodegradable & 98% water making it safe for skin contact, odorless, and R2 food safety rating.
3 simple steps for installation and is ready for immediate use with no need for curing.
Versatile and can be applied to any-and-all surfaces.
Preserves floors while also making them easier to clean.
Only removed by friction so depending on amount of foot traffic/friction it can last up to 2 years.

Initial testing of ceramic tile found that the application of “Traction Up” increased the slip resistance (COF) of a hard, smooth, matte finish ceramic tile floor which was untreated and wet by a whopping 265% in COF where treated with “Traction Up”.
SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment created a coated floor finish which was reasonably safe for use when wet in accordance with A137.1 “Ceramic Tile Slip Resistance” which stipulates that the resulting tests are required to maintain 0.42 or more in order to be acceptable for slip resistance.
SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment created a finely coated, transparent, floor finish on the matte finish ceramic tile and its appearance is not easily detectable by the eye.
SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment shows that the product actually slightly reduced the surface roughness in cases where the treatment was applied. SLIP-Help’s Patented Nano-Spike Technology Treatment product makes surfaces easier to clean by having 22% reduction in roughness.
