Vinyl flooring with embedded slip-resistant aggregate (silicon carbide, quartz, aluminium oxide) for areas regularly exposed to water, grease, or both. R-rated to DIN 51130 from R10 (commercial) to R13 (severe industrial). The default specification for commercial kitchens, hospital wet rooms, food processing and pool surrounds.
Safety vinyl is a heterogeneous vinyl sheet with aggregate particles embedded in the wear layer that maintain slip resistance even when wet or contaminated. R-rating per DIN 51130 ranp test indicates the highest angle of incline at which a wet, oiled surface remains traversable.
Heterogeneous vinyl manufacturing with aggregate particles (silicon carbide for industrial; quartz and aluminium oxide for commercial/healthcare) bonded into the wear layer. Aggregate size and density determine R-rating.

Slip Resistant (Japanese-spec)
Safeguard (legacy ex-stock)
PU adhesive system for water-immersion-resistant bonding in wet areas. Heat-welded seams mandatory in commercial kitchens and hospital wet rooms. Coved skirting with welded internal corners. Maintain drainage falls per manufacturer / specification.
Daily brush-augmented wet mop. Weekly machine scrub with red pad (NOT abrasive scrubbing). Use degreaser in commercial kitchens. Never polish or wax, destroys slip rating. Inspect quarterly for aggregate wear-down in heavy-traffic zones.
