MOLOVO TM1001 Ultimate Grip Tiles
SLIP RESISTANCE
Slip resistance is used to determine the degree of slippage on a tiled surface. Dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) is the most common measure used by the North American tile industry to identify suitable applications for a flooring product. According to DCOF Acutest results, receiving higher than a 0.42 DCOF rating on level surfaces means there is a high slip resistance potential. A lower than a 0.42 DCOF rating has less friction and traction.
WATER ABSORPTION
Water absorption rates are the most important measurement of a tile. The Water absorption rates are a measurement of how much moisture retains in the density of the tile.
| Impervious | Absorb 0.5% or lower. These tiles suitable for all applications |
|---|---|
| Vitreous | Absorb between 0.5% and 3%. These tiles suitable for wet or indoor |
applications
Semi-Vitreous| Absorb between 3% and 7%. These tiles for indoor application
Non-Vitreous| Absorb 7% or higher. These tiles for indoor with no moisture
only
FROST RESISTANCE
Frost-proof is defined as the ability of tiles to withstand freeze/thaw conditions with minimal effect. A tile with NOT frost-proof is NOT suitable for outdoor use.
SCRATCH RESISTANCE
Mohs is a scale of hardness used to determine a material’s scratch resistance. The ranging from 1 to 10, with 10 being diamond, the highest rating. The higher the rating, the more scratch-resistant.
P.E.I. RATING
PEI Rating indicates the surface abrasion resistance of tile based on testing
by the Porcelain Enamel Institute. This scale helps
consumers select the right type of tile for a variety of projects.
| PEI 0 | Wall use only, not suitable for use underfoot. |
|---|---|
| PEI I | Wall use only in residential and commercial, not suitable for use |
underfoot.
PEI II| Wall and light-duty residential floor, often used in residential
bathroom.
PEI III| Wall, medium-duty residential floor, often used in kitchens and
living spaces.
PEI IV| Wall, heavy-duty residential and commercial floor, often used in
entryways and office.
PEI V| Wall, heavy-duty residential and heavy-duty commercial floor, often
used in retail and industrial floor applications.
