The anti-slip Rate of PVC safety Flooring
The anti-slip rate of safety vinyl floor is very important, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Ensure personnel safety
- In commercial places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, etc., there is a large flow of people and complex movement trajectories, and there are people of different ages and physical conditions. If the anti-slip rate of the floor is not enough, once there are water stains or other pollutants on the ground, pedestrians are very likely to slip, which may lead to serious consequences such as falls and fractures. In industrial places, workers walk or operate on the ground for a long time. If the anti-slip performance of the floor is poor, it is also easy to cause safety accidents and affect the normal production of the enterprise.
Comply with building regulations and industry standards
- Many countries and regions have building regulations and industry standards, and have clear requirements for the anti-slip performance of floors in different places. For example, public places such as hospitals, schools, and kindergartens must use floors that meet certain anti-slip levels to ensure the safety of special groups of people. When choosing diamond flooring, companies must ensure that its anti-slip level meets the relevant specifications, otherwise they may face rectification or even legal liability.
Improve user experience and efficiency
- Diamond flooring with good anti-slip performance can make people more confident and comfortable when walking, and reduce the psychological pressure caused by the fear of slipping. In industrial production, good anti-slip performance can make workers operate more smoothly, improve work efficiency, and reduce production interruptions or delays caused by slips.
Reduce maintenance costs
- Choose the right anti-slip grade of diamond abrasive floor, although the initial purchase cost may be
Anti-slip Rate of PVC Safety Flooring
The anti-slip rate of PVC safety floor is usually divided according to the European standard EN 13845. The common ones are as follows:
- R9 anti-slip level: The friction coefficient is between 0.25-0.35, which is suitable for ordinary walking areas in dry environments, such as offices, bedrooms, etc.
- R10 anti-slip level: The friction coefficient is between 0.35-0.45, which can be used in places with certain moisture risks, such as bathrooms, kitchens, etc., and is also commonly used in theaters, buses, subways, libraries and other areas with large personnel flow.
- R11 anti-slip level: The friction coefficient is between 0.45-0.55, which is suitable for places with high humidity and frequent personnel movement, such as swimming pools, gyms, factory workshops, etc.
- R12 anti-slip level: The friction coefficient is between 0.55-0.7, which is generally used in environments with high humidity and high risk of slipping, such as bathrooms, car washes, etc. Customized PVC diamond sand floors in some special places can reach this level.
- R13 anti-slip grade: The friction coefficient is greater than 0.7. It is mainly used in extremely slippery places with extremely high anti-slip requirements, such as aircraft bridges, airport shuttles, etc.
