We would like to introduce an ideal anti-slip solution for areas that are constantly wet with oil or water, such as factories, warehouses, and kitchens. This time, we are presenting the anti-slip coating for the factory floor of a certain manufacturer that produces agricultural machinery. *Please refer to the attached image.* The process involves cleaning and degreasing, applying a primer, coating with Slip Rate Σ03 composite material, and curing. Since this area has relatively low oil exposure, we finished it with a thickness of 2mm. It is permeable, so even if oil drips onto the surface, it remains rough and slip-resistant. If there is a large amount of oil or water, we can increase the thickness or use larger aggregate sizes to accommodate that. Additionally, it has sufficient strength to withstand the passage of forklifts and trucks.

Non-slip tiles, commonly referred to as "Clintile" or "Aston," equipped with rod-shaped or dot-shaped rubber are frequently used on the stairs and flat surfaces of pedestrian bridges. Until recently, the rubber on the edges of these tiles would wear down or harden over time, reducing their slip-resistant effect, prompting the installation of additional slip-resistant materials between the rubber sections. However, it seems that recently, further aging has caused the rubber to deteriorate significantly, leading to a complete loss of slip resistance, visibility, and distinguishability, creating dangerous conditions on pedestrian bridges, which has resulted in an increase in inquiries. Our recommended approach is to completely remove the rubber, fill the two depressions (excluding the center) with non-shrink mortar, leave a 7mm gap from the nose for the formwork, and fill the center depression with Slip Rate Σ03 composite material, installing a 60mm wide slip-resistant surface. By integrating the center with the Slip Rate Σ03 composite material, we can enhance the overall strength. Replacing or repairing only the rubber is challenging, and repairing the deteriorated anti-slip rubber sections is significantly more cost-effective and safer than replacing them with new non-slip tiles, with minimal waste generated. Currently, this method is being widely adopted by various government offices and agencies.

In September 2010, slip-resistant processing was carried out on the tiled floor of the bathing area at Sakai City Hattasou Nursing Home in Nakaku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, using the Slip Out (ME method). Although the flooring material is generally considered to be slip-resistant, the sebum of the elderly is harder and more difficult to remove compared to that of younger individuals. As a result, the sebum from bathers coated the surface of the tiles and got trapped in the small gaps between the slight binding particles, causing a slippery surface that led to falls. To meet the administrator's request to suppress slipping without changing the appearance or aesthetics, we implemented the Slip Out method to create macro-level holes (widening the gaps) in the flooring material. After completion of the work, the area was immediately usable, and with a total area of 30 square meters, it was possible to accommodate the limited construction time from 10 AM to 12 PM.
