An aqueous solution for treatment of colored concrete, glazed enamel or
porcelain surfaces to increase the coefficient of friction of that
surface, whether dry or wet, to about 0.8 without deteriorating the color
of the surface comprises about 1.5 to 1.9 wt % of ammonium bifluoride,
1.5 to 3.0 wt % of tri-ethylamine and a wetting agent in water. The
degree of change of the color of the surface, treated seven minutes with
the solution of the current application, measured by a color meter shows
only 0.56 while the result of a commercial solution to increase the
frictional coefficient shows 2.22. This means that the color change by
the solution of the current application is undetectable by human eyes.
Meanwhile, the change by the commercial solution product is detectable.
