R11 Anti-Slip Finish

R11 DEFINED

R11 is a unique anti-slip finish for outdoor spaces, high-traffic areas and tile exposed to water and moisture that preserves the look of the tile.

The advancements in glaze technology have allowed our industry to offer a similar look the same products while keeping many of the other technical characteristics identical.

The finish will typically be seen as a little more matte in low-angle light conditions and a little dry to the touch.

The additives utilized in the glazing process to increase the Coefficient of Friction are done before the material is fired, therefore it is not a component that will wear-off over time, it is with the tile for its entire life-cycle.

R11 TEST

To be certified R11 means that a person did not exhibit any slipping until the ramps reached the angles of 19-27 degrees

The test is administered with normal conditions, the addition of water as well as the addition of oil/grease, and the average of all three are combined to create the rating.

The rubber hardness of the shoe is tested (96 hardness) to ensure all testing is identical.

Lead time required. Consult an Emser associate for details.
