American Olean® has always been proud to support solutions that better our industry. That's why we were among the first to join the Tile Council of North America in testing our products with DCOF AcuTest™, the industry standard used to measure dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF). DCOF AcuTest™ assesses a product's suitability for the commercial environment and the specific usability needs of the application.
Friction is the force that resists the sliding motion of one surface against another. Contaminants, such as liquids, can alter the measurement of friction. DCOF is the ratio of forces necessary to keep two surfaces sliding.
American Olean, in partnership with the TCNA, endorses the DCOF AcuTest™ because it's the most accurate method for determining whether or not a product is suitable for a commercial environment. ANSI A137.1 established ≥0.42 DCOF wet as the standard for slip resistance in commercial floor applications. The more stringent DCOF AcuTest™ gives realistic values even on smooth surfaces.
