Abstract:
The coefficient of friction between floors and shoes, particularly in food plants, can be increased by applying thereto, an anti-slip composition comprising sodium bicarbonate and an abrasive, preferably calcium carbonate. Food grade compositions can be provided. It has also been found that sodium bicarbonate alone or in combination with an abrasive can be used to absorb oil, grease and chemicals from surfaces. An abrasive can be added to improve the anti-slip characteristics of the absorbant.
