ASTM D2047 Coefficient of Friction

This test evaluates the static coefficient of friction to support anti-slip or slip resistance claims. It is required by many retailers for floor finish products and is performed using a James Machine.

Gloss and Shine Performance

To support claims like “high gloss” or “mirror-like shine,” we conduct gloss meter testing to quantify visual performance across flooring types such as vinyl, tile, concrete, and laminate.

Cleaning and Degreasing Effectiveness

Dell Tech can perform standardized cleaning efficacy testing to validate dirt, stain, or grease removal capabilities. Both consumer and industrial formulas can be evaluated using simulated soils.
