Dear Customer, This letter is to introduce you to Anti-Slip Solutions, LLC, an authorized dealer for the #1 Floor Safety company in the world. Our product has been in use since 1986 and is currently in 12 countries slip-proofing floors to solve the slip/fall problem with a network of 200 operators in the U.S. alone serving many Fortune 500 companies. Anti-Slip Solutions, LLC currently serves the Kansas City metro area in both Kansas and Missouri. Our product is a uniquely formulated chemical compound designed to react with silica sand in any mineral surface such as concrete, ceramic tile, terrazzo, marble, porcelain, slate, quarry tile, river rock, polished stone, or glazed brick. The result of the chemical reaction with the surface is a creation of a tread pattern that provides a positive slip resistant surface. It can be safely applied and reapplied without jeopardizing the structural composition of the material on which it is applied. Many other slip-proofing solutions are applied topically and eventually crack, peel or rub off. Our product works into the surface itself so it will not crack, peal, chip, or discolor with age. There is no set up, curing, or drying time required. The surfaces treated can be used immediately after treatment. Each treatment is guaranteed for two years from the date of application as long as the surface is maintained with approved cleaning agents. Utilizing the same testing process as OSHA, Anti-Slip Solutions, LLC will test the static coefficient of friction (SCOF) of your floor. This will determine if you comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA requires a SCOF of .5 for all public access areas, while OSHA requires a SCOF of .6 on walkways and .8 on ramps. If you wish to find out if you comply with Federal Law Standards pertaining to slip resistant floor surfaces, please call us. We will schedule a test at your convenience. Our test takes about 20 minutes to complete and will not disrupt any business operations. There is no charge for this test. Protect the health of your employees, your customers, and your company. Please call us! Sincerely, Anti-Slip Solutions, LLC
