Shane,
There is more to it besides applying the product. You have to prepare the surface, make some tests to determine how long to keep it on the floor and when to neutralize. It is also very important to take it care after the treatment and of course proper language in the contract that must be signed. You may give me a call and I will hook you up with somebody who can really help you.

Further to what steve said, you can use Klenztone 4 and add 4 oz per gallon of a neutral cleaner to help it lay flat (not bead) apply with a pump sprayer and allow to dwell10 mins, go back and neutralize and rinse without stepping on it. Surface must be totally clean before starting. This is how the anti_slip guys do it and the same chemicals. It is not rocket science and you can get 3.50+ per sf to do it. Make a lot of tests starting with 20 percent KS4, goal is little to no visible difference but huge difference in slip resistence which is easy to do with ammonium bi-flouride. Stay away from hydroflouric, it is not necessary and can be VERY painful. Don't try it if you are not 100 percent confident. What color is the tile? you will be doing a controlled frosting and it will lighten a dark color tile slightly. If anything goes wrong, aluminum oxide buffing will most likely bring it back.

Ammonium bi Floride will etch ceramic glaze.

i never practice on a customers property unless their is no
other way, and im not sure why he wants to use hydrofloric and i am aware that
it is dangerous to use and be around, but back to the question has anyone ever
used the anti slip acid products and with what results, was it profitable or
not worth the time this property has 11,000 sq ft of tile to do so i am
interested in feed back on anyone that has used these products, and we always
do our homework and testing before we start any new service but just starting
the ball rolling on informing myself.
thx

Shane,
I
would stay away from the Hydrofluoric acids, these are dangerous
chemicals and if this get on your shin it will burn , but even more
it can and will attack your bones. If you use it be sure to protect
yourself. There are products on the market that are not hydrofluoric.
Stonecare Central has one and Grout perfect has one both are much safer
than the Hydrofluoric. If you decide to use it make sure you have full
protection for yourself and your technicians and if there is ANY stainless
steel in the home you MUST protect it.
