Note: Testing commenced on July 1, 2003 and ended on July 31, 2003. All products were purchased from a local supermarket and applied to new residential grade sheet vinyl. All products were mixed per the manufacturer's recommendations and applied with a recommended applicator. Test products were allowed to dry for a period of two-hours then tested for wet Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) with the NFSI’s Universal Walkway Tester (UWT). Wet testing was conducted in accordance to NFSI 101-A standard test method and the results recorded. Percentage changes were based on the mean value of three independent test samples.
