- Untreated floors (in the form of ceramic tiles, homogenous tiles , marble, etc) normally have surfaces that are made up of soft and hard agents.
- In its untreated form, water planing (or in layman term water ponding) tends to occur when the floor surface is wet and becomes extremely slippery when stepped upon.
- BITECH NON-SLIP non-slip treatment treats the surface of the floor with the proprietary chemicals from Canada , removing the soft agents while leaving the hard surface behind at a hyper microscopic level which is invisible to the naked eye. (see illustration).
- After the floor surface is treated with the floor treatment chemicals (the entire process usually takes about 1- 2 hours including any site preparation and post-treatment washing) by our specialists, all chemicals on the floor surface are then completely washed away.
- What you have now is a floor surface that will have the effect of a suction cup on our feet or shoes when stepped upon when wet, giving you a safe surface to walk upon. Technically, it means that the co-efficient of friction has been increased from an unsafe level to a safe level.
- User will not be able to feel the difference when the floor surface is stepped upon when it is dry. However, when surface is wet, the treated surface will cause a grip on your feet to prevent you from slipping. Treatment does not change the appearance of the surface in most cases.
- Treated floors are available for use immediately upon treatment as there is no waiting time for any curing process.
