Don,
I seem the product Nino is referring to. I highly recommend you do a test for the customer. Keep in mind that all slip resist products do change the appearance of the tiles. These products are acid based so normal precaution are to be taken when using these product.
If these products are used on marble they will slightly etch the stone.
The only other slip resist product are coating that i8 do not recommend.
Also when using these products the customer m=needs to know they must keep the surface clean. If the surface is not kept clean the pores in the tiles will collect dirt etc. and become slippery again. Usually with any slip resist product I recommend a cleaning maintenance program. The frequency of the maintenance program will depend upon the location of the tiles.

I have seen some products that are supposed to create a high coefficient of friction on tiles, which reduces the chances of slips and falls. They do this by dissolving small amounts of silica on the surface.
Are they safe to use? Will they create long term damage?
