Expanded Case Study with Technical Insights:
A mid-sized food processing plant in Dubai Industrial City was hemorrhaging $150k annually from slip claims – until IguanaGRIP’s IndustrialMax transformed their safety landscape. Within weeks of installation, they achieved 18 accident-free months while breezing through OSHA inspections. Here’s how the solution works:
The Problem:
- High-risk zones: Oil-slicked production floors, wet packaging areas
- Previous measures: Rubber mats (curled edges caused trips), hourly mopping (ineffective against grease)
- Compliance failures: 0.4 COF in critical zones (below OSHA’s 0.5 mandate)
IguanaGRIP’s IndustrialMax Solution:
Application Process:
- Night shift installation: Applied during 2am–5am downtime window
- Surface prep: Degreasing with industrial cleaners (removed wax/polymerization)
- Treatment: Double-layer application for high-traffic zones
- Curing: 3-hour wait before resuming operations
Technical Specifications:
- Chemical resistance: Withstands pH 3–11 cleaners, vegetable oils, blood residues
- Load capacity: 5,000 lbs/sq.in (forklift-proof)
- COF enhancement: 0.4 → 0.68 (tested with ASM 825 friction tester)
Operational Benefits:
- Insurance premium reduction: 18% annual savings
- Worker confidence: 89% of staff reported better footing in post-treatment surveys
- Maintenance ease: Compatible with steam cleaning/bleach sanitization
Plant Manager’s Testimonial:
“We’d tried everything – mats, special shoes, even floor replacements. IguanaGRIP IndustrialMax gave us military-grade traction without disrupting production. Our safety audits now set industry benchmarks.”
