Resin Floor
Slip Testing.

Scottish food manufacturing, pharmaceutical, oil-services, and industrial sectors all rely on resin flooring. Epoxy, polyurethane, and MMA resins all produce distinct PTV profiles depending on aggregate loading and finish.

Testing resin floor in Scotland

Resin floor slip performance is dominated by aggregate loading. Heavy aggregate produces high slip resistance; smooth finishes produce low slip resistance. For Scottish industrial specification, in-situ post-installation testing is the only reliable verification.

We test resin floor products both in our UKAS ISO 17025 accredited laboratory (Schedule 7933) and in situ across Scottish commercial premises. Laboratory pre-testing is typically the most cost-effective approach for specification; in-situ testing is used for post-installation verification, annual compliance monitoring, and forensic post-incident evidence.

Typical turnaround: 48 hours from sample receipt (laboratory) or 48 hours from site attendance (in-situ). All testing issues a full UKAS-accredited certificate suitable for Scottish specification, tender, building-control, insurance, and litigation purposes.

FAQ

Questions about
resin floor testing.

Does aggregate loading affect resin floor slip performance?

Aggregate loading is the primary determinant of resin floor PTV. Heavy aggregate loading produces high slip resistance; smooth finishes produce low slip resistance.

Are self-smoothing resins as slip resistant as textured?

No — self-smoothing resins typically have much lower slip resistance than trowel-applied textured resins. Specification should match the intended environment.

Can installation quality compromise a resin floor’s slip performance?

Yes. Thin application, rushed curing, or incorrect mixing can reduce surface texture. In-situ testing after installation is the only reliable verification.
