Type 55 (TRL) & Type 96 (4S)
Rubber Sliders
Rubber Sliders
Advanced Additives supplies Type 55 (TRL) and Type 96 (4S) rubber sliders for pendulum skid and slip resistance testing. Designed for reliable and repeatable friction assessment, our sliders support road, airport, pedestrian, and laboratory surface testing applications.
Type 55 (TRL)
Used for road and pavement skid resistance testing, including asphalt, sprayed seals, runways, and other trafficked surfaces.
Type 96 (4S)
Used for pedestrian and smooth surface slip resistance testing, including footpaths, public spaces, and commercial flooring.

Consistent and quality-focused supply
-
Suitable for standard pendulum test equipment
Reliable for both field and laboratory use
Appropriate for road, airport, and pedestrian testing applications
Designed to support recognised testing practices and standards
Quality-focused supply for technical users and asset ownersbber sliders are selected and supplied to support reliable pendulum testing outcomes across a range of applications. Key benefits include:
-
Selecting the correct rubber slider depends on the surface type and the purpose of the assessment.
Type 55 (TRL) is generally used where the objective is to assess vehicle-related skid resistance on trafficked pavement surfaces such as roads and runways.
Type 96 (4S) is generally used where the objective is to assess pedestrian slip resistance or where higher sensitivity to smoother or polished surfaces is required.
