This study examines natural fillers in epoxy composites for improving slip resistance of industrial flooring. Ceramic tiles, plain epoxy, and epoxy with date seed powder were tested against three safety shoe types under dry, wet, oily, and oil/water conditions. A custom tribometer measured static and dynamic friction. Results show that date seed powder significantly improves slip resistance, especially on contaminated surfaces, making it suitable as an eco-friendly anti-slip coating in varied working environments.
