Walker Textures^TM Traction
Acid-etched Anti-slip Glass

Traction is an all-glass flooring solution, using no coatings, paints or appliqués susceptible to chipping or flaking off. The slip resistant properties of Traction glass are entirely derived through acid etching, whereby portions of the glass surface are removed to varying depths by a controlled process. The result is attractive and durable anti-slip surfaces, characterised by striking designs. The unique combination of opacity and translucency provides for full privacy, while still allowing for maximum circulation of light between floors.

Walker Textures™ Traction offers many advantages, including:

• Superior slip resistance
• Obscures view while maintaining a high level of light transmittance
• Unique design
• Consistent acid-etched finish
• Conducive to high quality edgework
• More durable than applied coatings
• Superior resistance to surface contamination from dirt, oils, chemicals, liquids, food, etc.
• Free of iridescence

Technical Data on Acid-etched Anti-slip glass

Traction glass provides a high slip resistant coefficient based on two recognized test methods. The following data has been tested and reported by the Tile Council of North America, an independent product testing facility:

ANSI/NFSI B101.1: ”Test Method for Measuring wet SCOF of common Hard-Surface Floor Materials”

Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) - Wet Conditions

Pattern 406: 0.68
Pattern 407: 0.75

ASTM C1028: “Standard Test Method for Determining the Static Coefficient of Friction of Ceramic Tile and Other Like Surfaces by the Horizontal Dynamometer Pull-Meter Method”

Static Coefficient of Friction

Pattern 406

Dry: 0.76  Wet: 0.60

Pattern 407

Dry: 0.74  Wet: 0.60
