Description

  The present invention relates to an anti-slip treatment method, an anti-slip treatment apparatus, and an anti-slip tile that increase the coefficient of friction and make it difficult to slip by forming irregularities in units of microns on the tile surface.

Smoothly finished floor tiles such as porcelain tiles and granite are slippery and extremely dangerous when wet, and therefore, anti-slip treatment is applied to the entrance, lobby, etc. as necessary.
In this general anti-slip treatment, an anti-slip agent is applied to the surface of the tile using a sprayer, brush, mop, roller, etc., and unevenness in micron units is formed on the tile surface by the chemical action of this anti-slip agent. It is.

As such anti-slip treatment agents, those disclosed in JP-A-2005-290338 are known. This anti-slip agent consists of “a mixed aqueous solution of an organic acid, ammonium acid fluoride, magnesium isopropyl alcohol, and sodium bicarbonate”, and is applied to the tile surface by hand.
Further, the anti-slip treatment agent disclosed in JP-A-9-59678 is “consisting of a mixed aqueous solution of an organic acid, neutral ammonium fluoride, and a surfactant”, which is also a tile by hand. Anti-slip treatment is performed by applying to the surface.
Further, the anti-slip treatment agent disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-220332 is “An anti-slip treatment agent that promotes the surface roughness of a mineral floor material, which is mainly composed of an inorganic mineral acid, and further contains an inorganic powder, an organopolysiloxane. It includes “siloxane and surfactant”, and its application method is “apply an anti-slip treatment agent to the floor surface, for example, 1 Kg / 10 square meter by a roller, brush, bar coater, etc.”.
In any of the above cases, after the anti-slip treatment agent is applied, it is washed away with water.

Thus, in the conventional floor tile, when the anti-slip treatment is performed, the anti-slip treatment agent is applied by the worker with the application tool, and thus has the following drawbacks.
1. It takes manpower and time for anti-slip treatment work.
2. Damage to joint materials because it is done after the floor tiles have been constructed.
3. After the anti-slip treatment, the anti-slip treatment agent is washed away with water, which flows into the sewage and causes environmental problems.
4). The application amount of the anti-slip treatment agent is likely to be uneven, and unevenness occurs in the anti-slip effect and the gloss of the floor tile surface, so work by skilled workers is required, but there are currently few such skilled workers. is there.
5. The amount of anti-slip treatment used will inevitably increase, and the cost of the anti-slip treatment will increase along with labor costs.
6). Since the anti-slip treatment is performed after the floor tile is applied, the anti-slip treatment agent may adhere to an unnecessary place such as a handrail made of stainless steel and lose its luster or the like.
7). After the anti-slip treatment, it is necessary to close the road until the floor is dry.

  The present inventor has come to the conclusion that the method for eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks requires that the anti-slip treatment is performed in the factory in advance, and that the tiles can be brought into the field for construction.

It is composed of an electric moving device that pulls up from the washing water tank and transfers it to the conveyor, a moisture removing device arranged in order along the conveyor, and a hot air drying device following the device. An anti-slip treatment device.
This processing apparatus can be produced at low cost by a small number of personnel for anti-slip processing of tiles.

Next, the invention described in claim 3 is an anti-slip tile which is anti-slip treated by the anti-slip treatment method described in claim 1.
According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a safe floor or road surface that is not slippery even if the footwear or the tile itself is wet.

As described above, the present invention can provide the following effects because the anti-slip treatment is applied to the tile in the factory in advance and the floor is simply constructed on the site.
1. The anti-slip treatment work does not take time and labor.
2. No worry about damaging joint materials.
3. Since waste liquid can be treated at the factory, there is no worry of causing environmental problems.
4). The application amount of the anti-slip treatment agent is made uniform, and it is possible to provide high-quality tiles having no anti-slip effect and uneven gloss.
5. Since the amount of the anti-slip treatment agent can be reduced, the cost of the anti-slip treatment agent can be saved in addition to the labor cost.
6). There is no worry that the anti-slip agent will adhere to places other than the floor tiles.
7). There is no need to close the road.
