Product Information

The ramp test (R rating) is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test value).

Lithofin ALGEX is a special product from the LITHOFIN-Range. It is a water-soluble cleaning concentrate based on high quality surfactants. Neutral and free of chlorine and acid. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36. Any cleaning solution not specified as suitable for porcelain. Harsh chemicals such as bleach may have an impact on appearance. The effect of anything that adversely affects the tile surface or the grouting and is likely to be difficult to reverse. For cleaning all outdoor areas, such as stairs, paths and terraces, walls, grave stones, roofs, wooden fences, etc.Impregnating the surface with SPLASH STOP will render it resistant to the penetration of water, thereby greatly reducing the risk of dirt accumulation and algae formation. The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.5% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6% Grease and oil - choose a general cleaner such as Lithofin Power Clean, or spot cleaner for stubborn stains.
