Slip Testing

gripAll Keuka SureGrip® footwear surpasses the new ISO EN20345 slip test to a rating of SRC but we go further than this by publishing the Coefficient of Friction achieved on the Health & Safety Laboratory ramp test, a far more stringent and “real world” test. The following chart shows how our footwear performs on various floor surfaces with various contaminants. This test involves a real person (rather than a machine) who wears the footwear whilst walking on an increasingly inclined ramp contaminated with water and oil until loss of traction causes a slip.The steeper the angle achieved, the higher the coefficient of friction value for the footwear being tested. Keuka SureGrip® can reach angles of 30 degrees in some cases and exceeds virtually all other brands of footwear, especially on quarry tiles and chequer plate, two common floor surfaces found throughout industry.

Report carried out by HSL  2007

Brand Steel/Water Quarry Tile/Glycerol Chequer Plate/Water Chequer Plate/Glycerol
Suregrip 0.41 0.50 0.54 0.34

Figures represent the Coefficient of Friction. The higher the number the better the grip.

 


 

 

The test results above were carried out by Precision Testing Laboratories in the USA. They are useful to compare to other brands who also publish this test & show Keuka Suregrip to be the market leader in terms of slip resistance by a significant margin.
