The BOT-3000E Tribometer

How Slip-X Uses Industry-Leading Testing to Make Floors Safer

How Slip-X Ensures Proper Application of Our Anti-Slip Treatment

At Slip-X Solutions, safety is never an afterthought. That’s why we rely on the BOT-3000E Tribometer — the gold standard in slip resistance testing — to ensure our products meet and exceed industry standards. Whether in the lab or the field, this state-of-the-art device helps us monitor surface safety, verify compliance, and maintain our commitment to reducing slip hazards wherever our products are used.

Precision Testing with the BOT-3000E Tribometer

The BOT-3000E Tribometer, developed by Regan Scientific Instruments, is a highly accurate, digital testing device that measures the static and dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) on hard surfaces. It is the only instrument certified for use with ANSI A326.3, the recognized U.S. standard for measuring dynamic slip resistance, and meets all requirements under ASTM F2508.

Developed from rigorous scientific research in the U.S. and Germany, the BOT-3000E is trusted in both industry and legal settings. Its data is admissible under the Daubert standard of evidence in federal and state courts, making it a powerful tool for defending against slip-related claims.

Real-World Monitoring for Real Results

Slip-X uses the BOT-3000E to regularly test flooring surfaces before and after treatment. These tests provide clear, objective data that helps identify potential hazards early and ensure our treatments are working as intended.

  • Before Treatment
    Routine testing can detect areas of concern before they cause accidents. Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual testing helps demonstrate due diligence — even as variables like footwear or pedestrian behavior remain unpredictable.

  • After Treatment
    The BOT-3000E validates our results by running standardized protocols such as ANSI A326.3, B101.3 (dynamic friction), and B101.1 (static friction). Even in the face of legal scrutiny or conflicting testimony, its data holds up. That’s why it’s a cornerstone of our slip-reducing strategy.
