PAK-IT Introduces Traction-Pak(TM) to Reduce Slip & Fall Accidents


Philadelphia, PA - Jacob Smith, Chief Operating Office of PAK-IT LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of JBI, Inc. (OTCBB: JBII), today introduced Traction-Pak(TM), a new floor care product that helps reduce slip and fall accidents. Traction-Pak not only cleans floors without any residue; the product actually reacts with and revitalizes the finish, leaving floors glossy but safe.

"Every person entering a building comes in contact with one major component - the floor," Smith noted. "Preventing slips and falls and their potential liability issues should be a key focus for every business owner and/or their Building Service Contractors."

Traction-Pak is a dual purpose labor-saving floor maintenance product, packaged in a pre-measured water soluble packet, which can be used economically in an automatic scrubber or dissolved in a mop bucket and applied, leaving behind a burnishable thermoplastic film. Traction-Pak is designed to eliminate the need for a separate application of a rejuvenator or additional floor treatment product after the cleaning operation.

The active cleaning ingredients of the product loosens soil and removes black heel marks which are lifted from the floor by the vacuuming action of an automatic scrubber or cling to the mop for easy removal. The other active materials react or penetrate the floor finish film substrate, replenishing vital plasticizers or other "permanent" ingredients that may have been extracted by harsh chemicals or abrasion, as well as, provide ingredients that increase the slip resistance or coefficient of friction. This leaves a film in a state that has increased burnish response, if desired. The "wet look" can be obtained with less aggressive pads and in a much shorter time.

These active ingredients actually become part of the substrate providing extended wear and slip properties. This increased slip resistance has been verified by both the James Machine standard test methods and Regan Scientific BOT 3000 Tibometer

Traction-Pak comes in two formats: either as a bulk chemical available in quarts, gallons or 55 gallon drums, or as the company's patented water-soluble PAK-IT. The 40 gram PAK-IT provides a unique portion control system that does not requiring measuring or cutting. Regular use keeps floors looking great every day, for longer periods, because Traction-Pak cleans, polishes and protects without creating any build-up. It should be considered as absolutely necessary for floor maintenance programs in:

o Schools

o Nursing homes

o Supermarkets

o Retail stores

o Hospitals

o And any high traffic public areas.
