Anti-slip food industry

According to DGUV Rule 108-003 (German Social Accident Insurance), the following rules for slip resistance according to DIN 51130 "Testing of floor coverings; determination of the anti-slip property; walking method – inclined plane" apply to floors in workrooms and work areas with a risk of slipping: 
Production of margarine, edible fats, edible oils: R12 and R13

• 
  Milk processing and dairy products, cheese production: Predominantly R12
• Chocolate and confectionery production: R11 and R12
• Production of baked goods (bakeries, confectioneries, long-life bakery products): Predominantly R12
• Slaughtering, meat processing, meat preparation: Largely R13
• Processing of fish, delicatessen production: Consistently R13
• Vegetable processing: Predominantly R13

Yes, the anti-slip coatings from Priotech Industrie (Protec R13 One and Protec R13 Two) are certified with the highest slip resistance class, R13. The other anti-slip coatings comply with slip resistance classes R11 to R13-

An anti-slip coating for tiles can be hygienic, provided it is selected and maintained correctly. Here are some points regarding hygiene.

Surface structure: Anti-slip coatings can have a rough surface that may attract dirt and bacteria. It is important to choose a coating that is easy to clean.

Materials: High-quality anti-slip coatings are resistant to mold and bacteria, which improves hygiene. Make sure to choose a product that is labeled as antibacterial or mold-resistant.

Care and maintenance: Regular cleaning of the coated tiles is crucial to prevent the accumulation of dirt and germs. Good hygiene also depends on proper care.

Adhesion and cracks: If the coating does not adhere properly or develops cracks, water can seep in and compromise hygiene. Be sure to check the coating regularly and renew it if necessary.

Overall, an anti-slip coating can be hygienic if it is made of suitable materials and well maintained.

A good anti-slip coating can be identified by several characteristics. Here are some important points you should look for.

Slip resistance rating Look for the slip resistance rating (e.g., R9 to R13 according to DIN 51130). The higher the value, the more slip-resistant the coating.

Material quality High-quality anti-slip coatings consist of robust, long-lasting materials that are resistant to wear and chemical influences.

Ease of application A good coating should be easy to apply, whether by yourself or by professionals. Check whether clear instructions for application are provided.

Drying time Find out about the drying time of the coating. A fast drying time can make usage easier.

Water and dirt repellent A good anti-slip coating should also be water and dirt repellent to promote hygiene and longevity.

UV resistance If the tiles are in an area with sunlight, the coating should be UV-resistant to prevent fading or embrittlement.

Durability Find out about the lifespan of the coating and whether it needs to be renewed regularly.

Certifications and tests Look for products that have been tested and certified by independent institutes. This provides you with additional assurance regarding quality.
