YES! WE ARE ROCKET SCIENCE!
- MicroGuard’s coatings and surface treatments have their origins in NASA research. Dr. John B. Schutt, a theoretical chemist and former head of coatings for NASA, developed inorganic coatings for rockets and space vehicles to control corrosion caused by extreme UV radiation, rocket exhaust gases, chemical contaminants, and were required to withstand excessive temperature fluctuations.
- Following his retirement from NASA in 1991, Dr. Schutt began additional work on developing a range of pre-ceramic, clear coatings that cure at ambient temperatures. These coatings were hybrids of his previous work, resulting in the next generation of Patented inorganic, siloxane coatings – MicroGuard Coatings.
- For his work with NASA, Dr. Schutt was inducted into the NASA Inventor’s Hall of Fame in 1995.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
The National Floor Safety Institute – B101.1 Safety Standard
NFSI’s approach to slip-and-fall prevention was different from what was previously employed. Because approximately 80 percent of all slip-and-fall accidents occur on wet walkways. So rather than simply categorizing walkways as safe or unsafe based upon a single COF value, the ANSI/NFSI B101.1-2009 standard identifies three individual risk categories, or “Traction Ranges.”
NFSI found that walkways whose wet SCOF was 0.60 or greater reduced slip-and-fall claims by as much as 90 percent and are defined by the B101.1 standard as “High Traction.” Adsil MicroGuard is officially certified by the NFSI as providing “High Traction.”
