Slip testing
for Plastics & Rubber Manufacturing.

Plastics and rubber manufacturing combine continuous fine-particulate accumulation, hydraulic-press exposure, and mould-release-agent contamination — producing a slip-test brief that varies with production-line cleaning cadence.

Surfaces tested in plastics & rubber manufacturing

The plastics & rubber manufacturing surface vocabulary.

Every plastics & rubber manufacturing site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

  1. 01 · SURFACE

    Painted concrete in injection-moulding hallstested representatively

  2. 02 · SURFACE

    Resin coatings around pressesrelease-agent resistant

  3. 03 · SURFACE

    Steel walkways at gantry levelstested independently

Specific risk zones

Where the incidents actually happen.

Generic slip testing misses the zones that actually generate incidents. Plastics & Rubber Manufacturing sites have distinct high-risk zones that warrant independent testing.

Mould-release agent carry-out

Silicone-based release agents produce localised wet-PTV exposure.

Fine-particulate accumulation

Plastic-pellet and dust on aisles.

Hydraulic-press leak zones

Localised hydrocarbon exposure.
