RSG solves the problem by permanently increasing traction on glazed ceramic, granite and other hard, silica-based surfaces without changing the appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat RSG Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRSG is an acidic specialist treatment for ceramic and porcelain tiles. The pH 2.5 gel reacts with silica, forming a uniform 4-6 µm micro-roughness that raises coefficient of friction by up to 0.35. One 1 L bottle treats 30 m², delivering a long-lasting anti-slip surface when maintained with neutral Lithofin cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-gloss bathroom porcelain, dilution 1:1 ready-to-use, for immediate slip resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-granite\"\u003egranite\u003c\/a\u003e lobby steps, undiluted, for heavy foot traffic areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePool-side \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-ceramic\"\u003eceramic\u003c\/a\u003e tiles, undiluted, where water and sunscreen create slick films.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestaurant kitchen quarry porcelain, undiluted, after degreasing with \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/products\/lithofin-mn-power-clean\"\u003eMN Power-Clean\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShopping-mall quartzite walkways, undiluted, before sealing joints with MN impregnation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the surface thoroughly with MN Power-Clean, rinse and let it dry (PT5M).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake RSG, pour onto the floor and spread evenly with a rubber squeegee (PT5M).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow to react 5-10 minutes; keep wet by re-distributing the gel (PT10M).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse twice with plenty of water, neutralising residues with a pH-7 cleaner (PT5M).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage: 30 m²\/L (33.33 ml\/m²).
