Definition of Terms
|
Coefficient of Friction
|
< 0.5 Not a slip resistant product
≥ 0.5 Meets OSHA recommendation for slip resistant walking & working surfaces
≥ 0.6 Meets ADA recommendation for slip resistant accessible routes (0.8 recommended for ramps)
≥ 0.7 Higher level of slip resistance for special situations
The static coefficient of friction may vary within and between production runs because of the inherent characteristics of fired clay products. COF can also vary considerably from the original state due to the presence of contaminants, water, floor finishes and other factors. |
Meets ADA Requirements
|
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recommends a minimum static coefficient of friction of 0.60 (wet and dry) for accessible routes and 0.80 (wet and dry) for ramps. |
