Technical Data

Description

Tredsafe insert is manufactured from a special blend of P.V.C., silica quartz and polymeric plasticiser giving an homogeneous hard wearing anti-slip flooring for wet and dry conditions. (Meets British Standard for Sheet Vinyl and Vinyl Tiles BS3261:1973).

Resistance Properties

Tredsafe insert is resistant to attack from ultraviolet light, oil, grease, petrol, salt, dilute acids and alkalis, common household chemicals and detergents. Organic solvents will soften Tredsafe insert.

Maintenance

Tredsafe insert is produced with a polyurethane coating which reduces dirt retention. The three dimensional pyramid pattern which provides excellent slip resistance in the wet will require more care than a smooth flooring surface. As with any flooring, regular maintenance is important to prevent excessive soiling. Cleaning is best achieved by scrubbing with a bristle brush in conjunction with warm soapy water. Commercial cleaning machines such as the “Scrub-Vac” are also suitable.

Installation

When Tredsafe insert is used as a flooring it should be installed using an adhesive recommended for the under floor and environment. The adhesive manufacturer’s directions and instructions should be followed closely to ensure maximum bond strength. Tredsafe insert is heat weldable and can be seamed with PVC liquid weld. For exterior use, or where water may be present, a 2-pack epoxy or polyurethane should be used, again following manufacturer’s instructions.
