Plan for the curing time

Good to know
What R12 means
The coating is rated R12 for slip resistance under the German DIN 51130 standard, a widely recognised measure. An R12 rating signifies excellent resistance to slipping even in challenging conditions such as wet or greasy environments.
How it was tested
Tests by Floor Slip, following the guidelines set by the United Kingdom Slip Resistance Group, under wet and dry conditions gave a mean reading of 87 dry and 54 wet, corresponding to an R rating of 12.
Bath mats
A slip resistant coating is a hygienic alternative to bath mats. If you do use mats or suction pads, wait at least four weeks and remove them after each use.
Cleaning
Use a soft non-abrasive sponge with warm soapy water.
It does not replace care
A slip resistant surface reduces risk but does not remove it.
