Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has warmed the hearts of millions of Americans over the years. On Friday, January 13^th, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will visit the small town of Joplin, Missouri. Unlike the traditional episodes, this one will be focused on more than one home reconstruction.  “Seven Homes in Seven Days”, was the goal for Joplin, and the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team was determined to succeed. With our utmost gratitude, InvisaTread is featured in the seven homes. On May 22, 2011, the town of Joplin,Missouri would be forever changed. A catastrophic series of violent tornadoes whipped through the town, killing 160 people, destroying nearly 8,000 homes.

InvisaTread® has been used in the seven homes and will help to reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents for the families.  While we can’t say much, we can say that these families will be more then pleased with their new homes! This episode features families who lost their homes, all of their belongings, friends, and children in the storm.  During construction, the families were sent to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida, to relax and have some fun while the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Team of more than 10,000 volunteers put their magic to work.  Tune into ABC on January 13^th to see the final results and to learn more on how InvisaTread was used in this great project!

Dear Valued Customer/Trade Partner:

It has recently been brought to our attention that a competitor of InvisaTread®, namely Grip On Anti-Slip Solution (owned by Safety Seal Products, WJM Enterprises and/or William Markowitz) has written a letter to certain of our customers in which there are numerous disparaging accusations about Anti Slip Solutions, David Gill and Todd Sherman.

We have been provided with a copy of this letter and would like to take a moment to correct the false statements contained in Mr. Markowitz’s letter.

The formula for InvisaTread was developed by Anti-Slip Solutions after 39 lab experiments and nearly 6 months of lab testing. We have never been in possession of Mr. Markowitz’s formula for his product Grip On, nor have we ever stolen any trade secrets in the development of InvisaTread®. For Mr. Markowtiz to suggest otherwise is not only false, it is defamatory.

In fact, a simple pH test of InvisaTread plainly demonstrates that InvisaTread has a pH of greater than 3.0, whereas prior testing of Grip On reveals that its pH level is between 1.8 to 2.0, thereby making Grip On a hazardous product pursuant to OSHA regulations which cite special distinction for products with pH levels between 0 – 2.[1],

Please understand that in a competitive market, we take the InvisaTread® brand name and the product formulation very seriously. We also value our customers and trade partners. Having the only product on the market that is truly safe enough to be sold directly to consumers and with a consistent branding in the market place, we understand that our distributor partners are entitled to understand the truth about the products they sell to be kept informed regarding InvisaTread.

Accordingly, should you have any questions regarding this matter or InvisaTread® please do not hesitate to contact us at 888-842-3356 EXT 801.

Thank you for your time, partnership and business. We appreciate it very much.

Best regards,

After countless hours of searching for the perfect tile for your flooring project, you’ve finally found the “one.” We’re not talking about that perfect person you want to spend the rest of your life with. We’re talking about tile. Beautiful, glossy, and with the perfect finish – porcelain tile seems perfect for your project. There’s one problem though; it’s way too slippery. It seems too heartbreaking to eliminate porcelain tile for such a simple reason. There must be a solution.

  You search the internet for ways to “slip-proof” your tile. Looking for something that doesn’t change the look or feel of your tile but makes it safer… it seems impossible. The only solution seems to be other anti-slip treatments which severely etch and disturb the look and feel of the surface, or slip-proof bath matts and rugs, which cover it up. What’s the point of spending money on tile if you’re not going to enjoy it?  That’s where InvisaTread comes in. InvisaTread works on many types of floors, even polished porcelain. InvisaTread helps create an invisible tread on surfaces, making them less slippery without changing the look or feel. Applying InvisaTread would help eliminate many of the ineffective slip proof tactics.  . Tired of sacrificing style for safety? Try InvisaTread today!

When looking in your cabinet underneath your kitchen sink, you’ll probably find an array of cleaning supplies. Half empty bottles, disinfectant wipes and magic erasers, you name it, you’ve got it.  Those neglected supplies consume much of your cabinet space and money.  In 2008, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the average American spent more then $650 a year on cleaning products.

Traction Wash cleans without destroying finishes and without leaving any harmful residues behind.  Think about how easy it would be to clean your house with one, simple bottle.

Slips and Falls are among the most common cause of lost workdays and employee injuries within the healthcare industry. Injuries on the job not only affect workers, but patients and other employees as well. When workers are injured on the job, fewer patients are cared for. Paid time off, medical bill compensation and training are among the many financial headaches that come along with workplace injuries.

Let’s face it though, nobody wants to see an ambulance show up at their place of business or worse yet, get a phone call from their attorney.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics found that for every 10,000 employees, there was an average of 38.2 slip and fall incidences (significantly higher than other industry averages!).  Additionally, over 22% of slip and fall accidents resulted in more than 31 lost work days.

In order to remain in “good standing” both financially and physically, good friction is needed between a shoe and the floor one works on. Applying the InvisaTread® family of products could help solve this problem.

Increasing the slip resistance of surfaces is only half the battle.  Improper care and maintenance is often the reason for a fall.  Cleaning surfaces with Traction Wash™, a cleaner degreaser formulated to work on any surface (including concrete, tile, stone, wood, metal – or even grout!), is the perfect solution for any floor cleaning situation. Applying TractionWash helps eliminate any dirt or grease from your floors while leaving no residue behind.

Traction Wash™ and InvisaTread® slip resistant treatment are the perfect combination for increased slip resistance and a safer work environment.

Take Action, Gain Traction. 

Not all cleaning material and applications created for home are appropriate for commercial situations. From residential kitchens to commercial kitchens, bathrooms to warehouses; Traction Wash can be used anywhere. Traction Wash cleans without destroying finishes and without leaving any harmful, greasy residue.  The buildup of chemical products, dirt, and residue is otherwise known as polymerization. Polymerization is increased every time a surface becomes wet. Places such as hotel lobbies, hospitals, restaurants, kitchens and high traffic areas are prone to a high level of polymerization.  The use of Traction Wash would help eliminate the dangerous process of polymerization.

The NFSI  (National Floor Safety Institute) investigated floor cleaners to establish their effects on a coefficient of friction. Nineteen floor cleaners were tested to determine their effect of traction on the floor. The results show that many floor cleaners drastically decrease a floor’s slip resistance. The problem is, most people just use a mop, bucket and typical floor cleaning product to clean their floor.  Many don’t know that in order to completely eliminate residue, 90% of cleaning products need to be rinsed with hot water after use. Traction wash eliminates all sorts of residue and does not require an after rinse with hot water.

Micro dust, heavy grime, soot, adhesives, grease and other containments can all be eliminated simply by using Traction Wash™. Traction Wash is safe for use on plastics, metals, rubbers, vinyl, painted/unpainted surfaces, wood, glass, concrete, asphalt, and other surfaces. If you’re looking to not only clean but to slip-proof your floor as well, use Traction Wash as a pre-wash, prior to applying InvisaTread^®. Traction wash is the key ingredient for maximum cleaning and slip resistant floors. For routine floor maintenance and an increased Coefficient of Friction, use Traction Wash today and everyday.
