BEFORE APPLYING - TEST AREA
-
Always begin with a clean, bare surface, free of wax or grease
buildup, sealers, etc.
-
Apply product on a small test area using the same procedures
listed in “HOW TO APPLY”. Surface and brush texture will vary from
application to application, so this is to indicate how much brushing
time is needed.
-
After a couple of minutes of brushing, run a small piece of
leather or rubber over the surface to ensure slip resistance is at
desired level.
-
Repeat steps 2 & 3 until desired slip resistance is achieved.
-
Wait until test area is dry, usually 1 to 2
hours, to make sure there are no problems with the surface,
such as invisible build ups, which would react adversely with
Grippa Safe™.

HOW TO APPLY
-
Use acid resistant, low pressure spray
apparatus, such as manually operated pumptank sprayer or hand
pump spray bottle with adjustable tip.
-
Coverage rate varies with porosity size.
Ceramic tiles use about 10 m2 per litre; granite, smooth or
hard trowelled finish concrete uses about 7m2 per litre.
-
Apply generously in a solid spray stream,
treating only 3 to 4m2 at a time.
-
Immediately begin brushing wetted area with
a very soft-bristled brush in a circular motion. Do not use
pads or hard bristled brushes.
-
Total brushing time may vary from 2 to 8
minutes, depending on surface and brush texture.
-
Light traces of lather are usually visible
when brushing, If they aren’t you may need to spray apply more
Grippa Safe™ while brushing.
-
Generously rinse floor immediately after
brushing to neutralise Grippa Safe™ before moving on to the
next 3 to 4m2 area. Mop dry.

OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES
-
Avoid splattering surfaces not intended for
treatment. Damage could occur.
-
Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Use protective
eye wear and latex gloves.
-
Surface traction effectiveness can be field
tested before and after an application by sliding
a piece of rubber or leather over treated surface
to determine traction quality increase.
-
Read Material Safety Data Sheet prior to use.
