If you want your floors to achieve the most extreme grip possible, this is the product. Because the ceramic has sharp edges, it works to grab and catch your foot. If you have a pet that is slipping on the floor, you can use this additive to help them gain traction. The ceramic additive provides great traction, yet is gentle on your dog’s paws.
For most uses, our plastic additive is ideal as it is easier to apply. However, if the application requires retaining exact appearance, or demands extreme traction, then you should use the ceramic additive. The ceramic is heavier then the plastic and will only stay suspended in very thick finishes. Most of the time the ceramic needs to be applied using our hand shaker (similar to a salt shaker). The plastic additive does blend in well and normally works great, but the ceramic provides an extra 30% blending benefit.
When applied using a hand shaker, you can achieve a greater density per square foot than is possible with pouring directly into the finish itself.
NOTE: Due to the sharper edges of the ceramic, you will no longer be able to use a mop to clean the surface. If scrubbing is necessary, you can use a scrub brush, push broom, water hose, or pressure washer.
Q. What’s the difference between the plastic and the ceramic? A-1. For most circumstances, the plastic is the correct choice.
A-2. The plastic additive is lighter weight and can be poured directly into the finish. Because the ceramic is heavy, it must be applied manually using our hand shaker.
A-3. Unlike the plastic, the ceramic is completely clear. It is harder to see on the surface, although not by much.
A-4. The ceramic does provide a little more traction, because it has sharper edges. The plastic is a better fit for around pools, boats and bare feet.
A-5. The ceramic will last longer than the plastic and will almost never wear out.
Q. Cleaning the floor before and after? A. You will no longer be able to run a mop over the surface. If scrubbing is necessary, you can use a scrub brush, push broom, water hose, or pressure washer.
Q. How long will it last? A. It depends on traffic levels. In a home it would last a lifetime. In more extreme conditions such as gas stations, around 5-10 years (providing it has enough finish over it to lock down the grains and prevent them from rolling away).
Q. Is it easy on bare feet? A. It won’t be uncomfortable to walk on, but you will be able to tell you are walking on a texture. The ceramic could slowly tear up bathing suits when used around pools or a boat. The ceramic is the same size and shape of large beach sand.
Q. Indoors and outdoors? A. Yes. This can be used in both areas and will not “yellow” from the sun.
Q. What is it made of? A. Ceramic grains that are fired at high temperature to make them clear.
Q. Will it bend in? A. The ceramic additive is completely clear and blends very well. We believe ceramic to be the best blending product on the market.
