Practical applications:

Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Heavy-Duty 10mm PVC Floor Tiles – Engineered for Garage and Workshop

When garage and workshop environments demand flooring that withstands heavy loads, chemical exposure, and continuous traffic, these 5 tonnes rated interlocking PVC tiles deliver verified performance that standard flooring cannot match. Designed specifically for professional environments where operational reliability is non-negotiable.

✓ 5 tonnes Load Rating | ✓ Oil & Chemical Resistant | ✓ Zero Cure Installation | ✓ 10-Year Commercial Warranty | ✓ Free UK Delivery

Technical Specifications

Tile Dimensions	500mm × 500mm (4 tiles per m²)
Thickness	10mm
Load Rating	5 tonnes point load (independently verified)
Material	Virgin PVC, closed-cell construction
Surface Finish	Anti-slip textured (R10 rated to DIN 51130)
Fire Rating	Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1 compliant)
Chemical Resistance	Oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, acids, solvents
Temperature Range	-20°C to +60°C continuous use
Weight	2.5kg per tile
Connection System	Precision interlocking – no adhesive required
Warranty	10 years commercial use

Understanding the 5 Tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

What Point Load Rating Actually Means

Point load differs from distributed load. A 5 tonnes point load means the tile can support 5 tonnes concentrated on a single small point – such as a trolley wheel, jack stand, or equipment foot. This is the most demanding load scenario and provides the true measure of tile strength.

Practical Applications

Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points – Direct contact with concentrated weight
Heavy equipment and machinery bases – Static loads from industrial equipment
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts – Continuous movement across surface
Static loads from racking and storage systems – Long-term compression resistance

Rolling Load Capacity

Beyond point load, these tiles support rolling loads of 20+ tonnes – meaning fully-loaded pallet trucks, forklifts, and even HGVs can operate safely. The closed-cell PVC construction distributes weight evenly, preventing localised compression damage.

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters for your garage and workshop:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled

Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications with predictable long-term performance. Every batch meets identical standards.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell Construction

Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation. Our tiles remain impermeable throughout their 20+ year lifespan.

PVC vs Polypropylene

Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C – critical for unheated garage and workshop spaces in UK winters.

PVC vs Epoxy Coatings

Epoxy requires 72+ hours cure time, professional application, and fails on damp substrates. PVC tiles install immediately, require no curing, and perform on any hard subfloor. Damaged sections replace in minutes rather than requiring full floor refinishing.

PVC vs Rubber

Rubber offers good impact absorption but degrades faster with oil exposure and UV light. PVC provides superior chemical resistance, longer lifespan, and better cost-per-year economics for garage and workshop applications.

UK Commercial Compliance

Fire Rating: Bfl-s1 Classification

Our tiles carry Bfl-s1 fire classification to EN 13501-1 – the European standard for construction product fire performance:

Practical applications:

Loaded forklift traffic and pallet jack operations
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces up to 3mm.

Understanding ESD Protection

What Is Electrostatic Discharge?

ESD occurs when static electricity accumulated on a person or object suddenly discharges to a lower-potential surface. Voltages as low as 100V can damage sensitive electronic components – yet humans don't feel discharge below 3,000V. You can destroy components without knowing it.

How ESD Tiles Protect

Our tiles provide controlled static dissipation:

Surface resistance 10⁶-10⁹ ohms: Prevents static accumulation on floor surface
Body voltage generation: Minimised through controlled conductivity
Grounding path: When connected to earth, static drains safely away
Consistent performance: ESD properties maintained throughout tile lifespan

BS EN 61340: UK/European ESD Standard

Our tiles comply with BS EN 61340-5-1 – the British/European standard for protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena.

What Compliance Means

Tested & verified: Surface and system resistance independently measured
Classification: Static Dissipative (not merely antistatic)
Documentation: Test certificates available for audits and compliance
Consistent: Every tile meets specification

Static Dissipative vs Conductive vs Antistatic

Type	Resistance	Application
Conductive	< 10⁶ ohms	Explosive environments
Static Dissipative	10⁶ - 10⁹ ohms	Electronics, server rooms
Antistatic	10⁹ - 10¹² ohms	General static reduction

Our tiles are Static Dissipative – the appropriate classification for electronics protection.

Applications

Server Rooms & Data Centres

Protect servers, networking equipment, and storage systems. ESD events can cause immediate failures or latent damage that reduces equipment lifespan.

Electronics Manufacturing

PCB assembly, component handling, and quality control areas. Protect work-in-progress and finished products from static damage.

Repair & Service Centres

Computer repair, phone repair, and electronics servicing. Protect customer equipment during diagnosis and repair.

Clean Rooms

Pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and precision manufacturing. ESD tiles complement other contamination control measures.

Control Rooms

Industrial control systems, SCADA environments, and monitoring centres. Protect sensitive control equipment from static events.

Installation for ESD Performance

Grounding Requirements

For optimal ESD protection, tiles should be grounded:

Grounding strips: Install copper grounding strips beneath tiles at intervals
Earth connection: Connect strips to building earth point
Testing: Verify system resistance after installation

Installation Without Grounding

Tiles still provide significant static reduction without grounding through their surface resistance properties. Grounding maximises protection for highest-sensitivity applications.

Standard Installation Process

Sweep floor clean
Install grounding strips if required
Lay tiles with interlocking edges
Cut edge tiles with utility knife
Connect grounding to earth
Test system resistance

Compliance Documentation

We provide documentation for:

BS EN 61340 test certificates
Surface resistance measurements
System resistance verification
Fire rating certificates (Bfl-s1)
Material safety data sheets

Documentation supports customer audits, insurance requirements, and regulatory compliance.

Maintenance for ESD Performance

Cleaning Requirements

Use ESD-safe cleaners: Standard cleaners may leave residue affecting conductivity
Avoid wax or polish: Coatings can insulate the surface
Regular cleaning: Dust and debris can affect surface resistance

Periodic Testing

For critical environments, periodic resistance testing verifies continued ESD performance. Test equipment and procedures available from ESD specialists.

Cost Analysis

ESD flooring investment protects far more valuable equipment:

Single server failure: £5,000 - £50,000+
Manufacturing defects: Warranty costs, reputation damage
Data loss: Potentially catastrophic business impact

ESD tile cost is minimal compared to equipment at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ESD and antistatic flooring?

ESD (Static Dissipative) flooring has controlled resistance of 10⁶-10⁹ ohms, providing reliable static dissipation for electronics protection. Generic "antistatic" products may have higher resistance (10⁹-10¹²) that's insufficient for sensitive equipment.

Do these tiles need to be grounded?

Grounding maximises ESD protection and is recommended for critical environments like server rooms. Tiles still provide significant static reduction without grounding through their surface resistance properties.

Are these tiles BS EN 61340 compliant?

Yes. Our tiles meet BS EN 61340-5-1 requirements for static dissipative flooring. Test certificates are available for compliance documentation and audits.

Can I install ESD tiles myself?

Yes. The tiles interlock like standard PVC tiles. For grounded installations, basic electrical knowledge is helpful for connecting grounding strips to earth, or consult an electrician.

How do I maintain ESD performance?

Use ESD-safe floor cleaners (avoid wax or polish), keep floors clean of dust and debris, and conduct periodic resistance testing for critical environments.

What colour options are available?

ESD tiles are typically available in grey or black. Contact us for current colour availability and to discuss your specific requirements.

Can these tiles be used in clean rooms?

Yes. ESD tiles complement clean room environments. The smooth, cleanable surface supports contamination control while providing static protection.

Do you provide test certificates?

Yes. BS EN 61340 compliance certificates, surface resistance test data, and fire rating documentation are available for customer audits and compliance requirements.

How long do ESD properties last?

ESD properties are integral to the tile material, not a surface treatment. With proper maintenance, ESD performance is maintained throughout the 20+ year tile lifespan.

Can I get samples for testing?

Yes. Free samples available for evaluation and resistance testing. Visit our Free Samples page or contact us directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load rating do these tiles support?

These tiles have a verified 5 tonnes point load rating to BS EN ISO 24344, suitable for vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery.

Can I install over existing concrete without preparation?

Yes. Simply sweep clean and lay directly. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required. The rigid structure bridges minor imperfections up to 3mm.

How long does installation take?

A 50m² area takes 2-3 hours with two people. No specialist tools required – tiles click together by hand, and cutting requires only a utility knife.

Are these tiles oil and chemical resistant?

Yes. Closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, and industrial chemicals. Fluids stay on surface for easy cleanup.

What's the difference between 7mm and 10mm thickness?

Both provide excellent load ratings. 10mm offers additional impact absorption and anti-fatigue properties for heavy industrial use. 7mm suits lighter commercial applications.

Do these tiles meet fire safety regulations?

Yes. Bfl-s1 rated to EN 13501-1, satisfying Building Regulations for commercial premises and typical insurance requirements for industrial flooring.

What happens if a tile gets damaged?

Simply replace the individual tile in under 2 minutes. Lift surrounding edges, remove damaged tile, click in replacement. No contractors or curing required.

Are these tiles slippery when wet or oily?

No. R10 slip resistance rating to DIN 51130 means the textured surface maintains grip even when contaminated with oil or water.

Understanding the 5 tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Slip Rating: R10 Anti-Slip Surface

Our textured surface achieves R10 rating to DIN 51130 – the German standard for measuring slip resistance on inclined surfaces with oil contamination.

What R10 Means:

Safe walking surface at inclination angles of 10-19°
Suitable for areas with occasional water or oil contamination
Meets HSE requirements for commercial environments
Maintains grip even when contaminated with oil films

When commercial garages demand flooring that withstands relentless vehicle traffic, hydraulic equipment loads, and daily chemical exposure, these 20-tonne rated interlocking PVC tiles deliver verified performance that standard flooring cannot match. Designed specifically for trade environments where operational uptime directly impacts revenue.

✓ 20-Tonne Verified Load Rating | ✓ Oil & Chemical Resistant | ✓ Zero Cure Installation | ✓ 10-Year Commercial Warranty | ✓ Free UK Delivery

Technical Specifications

Tile Dimensions	500mm × 500mm (4 tiles per m²)
Thickness Options	7mm Standard \| 10mm Heavy-Duty
Load Rating	20 tonnes point load (independently verified)
Material	Virgin PVC, closed-cell construction
Surface Finish	Anti-slip textured (R10 rated to DIN 51130)
Fire Rating	Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1 compliant)
Chemical Resistance	Oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, acids, solvents
Temperature Range	-20°C to +60°C continuous use
Weight	1.8kg per tile (7mm) \| 2.5kg per tile (10mm)
Connection System	Precision interlocking – no adhesive required
Warranty	10 years commercial use

Understanding the 20-Tonne Load Rating

Load rating isn't marketing – it's engineering. Our 20-tonne point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, four-post lifts, and loaded engine hoists without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Unlike claimed ratings from overseas manufacturers, our testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

Vehicle lift pads concentrating 2+ tonnes per contact point
Hydraulic jacks supporting full vehicle weight
Loaded tool chests and equipment trolleys
Rolling loads from transmission jacks and engine cranes

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Matters

Flooring material determines performance longevity. Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications batch after batch.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures (common in budget tiles) absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles offer lower chemical resistance and become brittle in cold temperatures. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C – critical for unheated commercial garages.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times or concrete grinding preparation, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges where required for smooth transitions.

Time Estimate: Average commercial bay (50m²) completes in 2-3 hours with two people.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces. The rigid tile structure bridges minor imperfections up to 3mm.

Chemical Resistance: Full Automotive Fluid Protection

Commercial garages handle aggressive substances daily. Our closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against:

Engine Oil (conventional & synthetic)	✓ Full Resistance
Transmission & Gearbox Fluid	✓ Full Resistance
Brake Fluid (DOT 3, 4, 5, 5.1)	✓ Full Resistance
Power Steering Fluid	✓ Full Resistance
Coolant & Antifreeze	✓ Full Resistance
Diesel & Petrol (short exposure)	✓ Full Resistance
Battery Acid (dilute)	✓ Full Resistance
Brake Cleaner & Degreasers	✓ Full Resistance

Important: While tiles resist these chemicals, we recommend cleaning spills promptly for optimal appearance. Prolonged exposure to undiluted solvents may cause surface softening.

Slip Rating Explained: R10 Anti-Slip Surface

Our textured surface achieves R10 rating to DIN 51130 – the German standard for measuring slip resistance on inclined surfaces with oil contamination.

What R10 Means:

Safe walking surface at inclination angles of 10-19°
Suitable for areas with occasional water or oil contamination
Meets HSE requirements for commercial workshop environments
Maintains grip even when contaminated with oil films

For higher-risk areas (constant wet conditions, heavy oil contamination), consider our R11-rated options or supplementary anti-fatigue matting in critical zones.

Fire Rating: Bfl-s1 Commercial Compliance

Our tiles carry Bfl-s1 fire classification to EN 13501-1 – the European standard for construction product fire performance.

What Bfl-s1 Means:

B: Limited contribution to fire spread (second-highest rating)
fl: Flooring-specific classification
s1: Minimal smoke production

This rating satisfies Building Regulations requirements for commercial premises and meets insurance specifications for most industrial applications. Certification documentation available on request.

Commercial Use Cases

Trade Garages & Workshops: Daily vehicle traffic, hydraulic lift operations, tool drops, chemical exposure – our tiles handle the full spectrum of trade garage demands.

MOT Testing Stations: Professional appearance for customer-facing areas combined with durability for testing bay requirements.

Vehicle Dealership Service Bays: Premium appearance that maintains showroom standards despite heavy service use.

Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Multi-bay installations handling continuous commercial vehicle traffic.

Fire Station Apparatus Bays: Heavy appliance weight, rapid deployment requirements, decontamination procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 20-tonne load rating actually mean?

The 20-tonne point load rating means each tile can support 20 tonnes of concentrated weight through a small contact area (10mm diameter test indentor). This handles vehicle jacks, lift pads, and heavy equipment without compression damage. The rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344 standards.

Can I install these tiles over existing concrete without preparation?

Yes. Our tiles install directly over existing concrete, painted floors, or even old tiles. Simply sweep clean and lay. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required. The rigid tile structure bridges minor imperfections up to 3mm.

How long does installation take for a typical garage?

A standard 50m² commercial garage bay takes 2-3 hours with two people. No specialist tools required – tiles click together by hand. Cutting requires only a utility knife. You can drive on the floor immediately after installation.

Are these tiles resistant to oil and brake fluid?

Absolutely. The closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against all automotive fluids including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and diesel. Fluids stay on the surface for easy cleanup rather than penetrating the material.

What's the difference between 7mm and 10mm thickness?

Both carry the same 20-tonne load rating. The 10mm version provides additional impact absorption for heavy tool drops, increased anti-fatigue properties for standing work, and better performance bridging uneven subfloors. Choose 10mm for intensive commercial use; 7mm for lighter applications.

Do the tiles meet fire safety regulations?

Yes. Our tiles are Bfl-s1 rated to EN 13501-1, meaning limited fire spread contribution and minimal smoke production. This satisfies Building Regulations for commercial premises and meets typical insurance requirements for industrial flooring.

What happens if a tile gets damaged?

Simply replace the damaged tile – it takes under 2 minutes. Lift the surrounding tile edges, remove the damaged tile, and click in a replacement. No contractors, no curing, no disruption. This is a major advantage over epoxy and resin systems where damage requires professional repair.

Are these tiles slippery when wet or oily?

No. The textured surface achieves R10 slip resistance rating to DIN 51130, which tests slip resistance on oily surfaces. The surface maintains grip even when contaminated with fresh oil spills – significantly safer than polished concrete or worn epoxy.

Understanding the 5 tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces up to 3mm.

Slip Rating: R10 Anti-Slip Surface

Our textured surface achieves R10 rating to DIN 51130 – the German standard for measuring slip resistance on inclined surfaces with oil contamination.

What R10 Means:

Safe walking surface at inclination angles of 10-19°
Suitable for areas with occasional water or oil contamination
Meets HSE requirements for commercial environments
Maintains grip even when contaminated with oil films
