After Treatment Maintenance
InvisaTread is a micro etching product which increases the Coefficient of Friction (COF) by making microscopic changes to the treated surface. Most surfaces treated with InvisaTread® or InvisaTread® Outdoors will look and feel the same as before treatment. In order to maintain this increased COF, treated surfaces must be properly maintained and cleaned. Cleaners / degreasing products can be used providing that they do not leave any residue on the surface which will fill in the microscopic changes to the treated surface.
Use Traction Wash
at a 1:32 dilution for regular cleaning and maintenance or 1:10 for heavy grime.

we’re interested in purchasing this product
to prevent slips and slides on our shiny tile.
my question is, what preparation needs to be
done to the tile prior to application of your
product?? ie: do you just apply it after cleaning
the floor, or do you need to roughen the tile so
the product will adhere ? ? ?
