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.
