Epoxy, polyurethane, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin flooring is dominant in UK industrial, healthcare, and commercial kitchen environments. Slip performance varies dramatically with aggregate loading, finish type, and application quality.
Resin floor slip performance is primarily determined by the aggregate loading — quartz, aluminium oxide, or polymer grains cast into the resin surface. Heavy aggregate loading produces high PTV; smooth finishes produce low PTV. Specification must match the intended environment.
Self-smoothing resins have lower slip performance than trowel-applied textured resins. Broadcast-and-seal systems sit in between. The finish appropriate to the application depends on contamination type, cleaning regime, and footfall pattern.
Resin floor installation quality affects slip performance. Thin application, rushed curing, or incorrect mixing can compromise the final surface texture. In-situ testing after installation is essential to verify that the installed floor matches the specification.
Aggregate loading is the primary determinant of resin floor PTV. Heavy aggregate loading produces high slip resistance; smooth finishes produce low slip resistance.
No — self-smoothing resins typically have much lower slip resistance than trowel-applied textured resins. Specification should match the intended environment.
Yes. Thin application, rushed curing, or incorrect mixing can reduce surface texture. In-situ testing after installation is the only reliable verification.
