For 30 years, Safety Direct America has been making America safer one floor at a time. We provide floor slip resistance testing (DCOF rating) services as well as anti-slip and non-skid slippery floor solutions for all types of flooring, especially accident-prone areas like bathtubs, showers, kitchens, and boats.
Slip resistance testing to determine coefficient of friction, suitability of use, and provide evidence of due diligence. Anti-slip options-such as adhesive grip tapes, clear abrasive anti-slip coatings, and anti-skid floor paints-DIY or professionally installed.
We supply anti-slip floor and non-skid bath treatment services, adhesive anti-slip/anti-skid floor grip tapes, do-it-yourself and professionally-applied clear abrasive anti-slip floor and bath coatings, colored anti-skid floor paint, non-slip floor treatments, and slip resistance (coefficient of friction) testing services (both in the lab and in the field) that help prevent slips and falls.

Slip Test Instruments
Report
At Safety Direct America, we are discount sellers of slip-resistance and coefficient of friction measuring devices for floors. If you have any questions about floor testing instruments or would like to place an order, please contact us online or call us directly at 1-800-988-6721. The pendulum is presently used for measuring pedestrian slip resistance in at least 49 nations on five continents.
BOT-3000E Digital Tribometer
Report
The BOT-3000E (Binary Output Tribometer) can measure both static and dynamic coefficient of friction with a variety of test sliders in both wet and dry conditions. It also provides a printed record of test parameters and results which can strengthen courtroom credibility. Available with sliders of SBR, Four S, TRL, and leather.
Pendulum Slip Resistance Tester
Report
Contact us at 949-582-0889 for field or laboratory British pendulum (or ASTM E 303) DCOF floor slip resistance tests. Turnaround time for lab tests is normally two-three working days, and the charge for most samples is $230.00 per sample (a sample is one to three representative pieces of the same material).
Tribometers Compared
Report
Approximate price, USD: Low cost but not recommended for pedestrian safety testing. Device not offered by SDA, although we do perform tests if requested. Validation for pedestrian traction: None. Can give highly deceptive results if applied to slip potential of pedestrian; J. Forensic Sci. Advantage: Good workout: uses 50-pound weight lifted 112 times per test.
