FAQ ~ Here are some frequently asked questions:
 
Q: How does the slip proofing application work?
A: Our application is a process that increases the coefficient of friction on a mineral surface such as a tile, marble, terrazzo, quarry, glazed brick, etc. floor or a porcelain or enamel bathtub. It is not a coating that can wear off, but an absorption process that creates a tread design on the mineral surface itself.
Q: How long will the treatments last?
A: Porcelain bathtubs and showers are guaranteed for life. Floors are guaranteed for two years as long as the floors are cleaned regularly in an approved manner. Most floor treatments will retain its original non-slip characteristics for many years.
Q: How long does it take to apply Montana Grip'n Seal's product?
A: The process takes approximately 1 to 2 hours per 1000 sq/ft. and will not disrupt the flow of your place of business.
Q: Does the treated surface look or feel any different?
A: There is no discernible change in appearance. However, when wet the feel is especially different.
Q: Why is there a need for our application?
A: Slip/fall accidents are the nation's #2 accidental killer. Over 9 million disabling injuries every year. Business insurance rates are skyrocketing. Increases of twenty-five percent annually are common.
Q: What is the cost of Safety Grip USA’s process?
A: Each surface has it's own characteristics and we will conduct a "no-obligation" on-site test to determine the treatment required. At that time, based on application ratio and square footage, a price can be given. We can also demonstrate our product on a sample area at no charge.
Q: Is this the most effective way to reduce slip/falls?
A: Yes! For many years, the only means for reducing slip/falls was by application of epoxy of other roughed substances, by installation of unsightly strips of grit paper, or expensive carpet runners, or rubber mats that need continuous replacement and generally are not attractive. Another method utilizes the application of a strong acid that etches the top of the tile. By eating away the top of the tile, this method destroys the shine of the surface a leaves a sandpaper appearance and effect. As time and traffic passes, the tile will wear smooth again and the acid will actually seep through, weakening the glue line and loosening the tiles. In addition, the surfaces are difficult to clean, maintain and keep attractive.
Q: What surfaces are not applicable?
A: Any surface that is not porous such as plastic, linoleum, fiberglass, or any material made from a resin base.
Q: Other than the requirement of a porous surface, is there any reason why your product might not work?
A: Anything that interferes with the foot from making direct contact with the treated surface (such as dirt, wax or ice) will prevent our product from being effective.
Q: Does heat or cold affect your product?
A: No! In fact, our product can be applied in cold weather as long as it doesn’t freeze during the process. It will not prevent slipping on ice since there is a layer preventing contact with the treated surface. However, the products effectiveness is maintained even if the ice melts from rock salt or a change in temperature. We are not aware of any chemical treatment that reduces the effectiveness of a treated surface. .
Q: What if the surface has been treated with a water sealer?
A: Although a problem has never happened, we always recommend testing a small area first.
Q: Will your product be effective if the surface has been painted?
A: The paint must be completely removed for true slip resistance.
Q: What if the floor has been waxed?
A: Our product can still be applied if we use a degreaser such as our effective DeGreaseAll to remove all the wax.
