Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Slipp-Nott traction system?
The S-N traction system is made up of the base and the mat. The base is made of modified Acrylonitrile Butadiene
Styrene Terpolymer (A.B.S), and it is bonded to a ribbed rubber backing which protects the floor and holds the
base in place. The S-N mat is the replaceable set of sheets which is attached, as a set, to the base. These sheets
are clear and are individually treated with a water based acrylic material, specially formulated for the S-N mat.
Each used sheet is peeled off from the mat to expose a new, clean sheet.
Why do you need Slipp-Nott?
Many sports are played at high speed and require quick starts, stops and cuts by an athlete.These sports are generally
played in indoor arenas on waxed floors. The indoor floors are always smooth but can be synthetic, linoleum or
hardwood. The wax, dust or dirt can be transferred to the sole of the athlete's shoes limiting or interferring
with his ability to execute these quick and sharp maneuvers. ANYTHING between the sole of the athletic shoe and
the floor reduces the traction the athlete's needs to make his maneuvers. It is not unusual to see a player wiping
the sole of his shoes with his hands to remove any wax and dirt buildup. Slipp-Nott product is the perfect traction
system to improve maneuverability and reduce possible injuries.
How does Slipp-Nott work?
When an athlete steps on a Slipp-Nott mat, the dust, dirt and wax that accumulate on the soles of athletic shoes
remain on the adhesive coating of the exposed (top) sheet of the mat. When the top sheet is covered with dirt,
it should be peeled off and discarded. Sheets can be recycled.
How do you store Slipp-Nott mats?
Just keep the mats laying flat, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
Where can you see the Slipp-Nott?
When you watch televised basketball games, those square things on the sidelines are Slipp-Nott products. Professional
Basketball, college and high school sport teams around the country are all satisfied customers.
How can clean shoes increase traction if the floors are dusty?
It is true that the floor is dusty but clean shoes increase traction even on dusty floors because the sole also
makes contact with the parts of the floor that are not covered with dust.
