Mabel Cera Water-Based Anti-Slip Wax

Polished surfaces, especially marble and granite floors, ensure more light-filled interiors and convey a feeling of newness, cleanliness and tidiness; unfortunately the big drawback is that they are easily stained and scratched and are among the most slippery surfaces (the static friction coefficient for polished marble floors is sometimes below 0.35). The regular use of appropriate waxes such as MABEL CERA protects the material from scratches and infiltrations, brightens up colours and ensures a considerable increase in the static friction coefficient (laboratory measurements have given values of up to 0.58) and therefore makes surfaces much less slippery. In the absence of any European regulations, reference is made to US sources which define as slip-proof those surfaces with a static friction coefficient above 0.5 (JAMES FRICTION MACHINE): MABEL CERA can be quite rightly considered among slip-proof waxes. NOTES ON SLIPPERINESS The slipperiness of a floor naturally depends on several factors such as: 1. Type and condition of shoes (rubber, leather, smooth, new soles, etc.) 2. The way of walking (short or long steps, walking on heels, walking on toes, walking on side of foot, etc.) 3. Type and conditions of floors (polished, absorbing, greasy, wet, uneven, etc.) Because the first two factors, being subjective, cannot be controlled, the regular use of wax optimises the third factor, coming between the sole of the shoe and the floor. It is obvious that thicker wax layers provide better safety and that is why repeated and regular applications are recommended. FUNCTION SLIP-PROOF PROTECTIVE AND POLISHING LINE PROTECTIVE HOUSE and PROFESSIONAL INDICATION SUITABLE FOR ALL POLISHED SURFACES TO BE PROTECTED WITH A FILM OF WAX WITH STRONG SLIP-PROOF CHARACTERISTICS MATERIALS SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR MARBLES, GRANITES, POLISHED NATURAL STONE. CAN ALSO BE APPLIED TO WOOD AND PLASTIC. HOW TO USE APPLICATION: 1. Spread a film of wax on the surface to be treated using the sprayer provided or a cotton cloth, with rotary movements and passing over the same areas several times. 2. Make sure the wax is applied uniformly over the entire surface. Wait a few minutes (2-5) to allow the wax to properly absorb and attach to the floor. Wait another 5-10 minutes to allow it to dry well and then proceed to polish. POLISHING: Rub and polish with a clean cloth until eventual marks or streaks disappear. NOTE: For a stronger anti-slip effect apply one or two coats more according to the absorption capacity of the surface and the required effect. TEST Always perform a preliminary test on a small area to determine consumption, drying times and, after drying, the aesthetic effect achieved and actual degree of protection attained COMPOSITION WATER-BASED WAX AND RESIN EMULSION.
