%X modification is made use of to improve 
slip resistance property of the soling material. In this study 
slip resistance in terms of co-efficient of friction (COF) of 
untreated and treated soles were measured by a slip 
resistance tester ( Model : SATRA STM 603). The results 
showed that chlorination treatment made on thermo plastic 
styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber sole with 0.5 % wt TCI 
produces a noticeable increase in co-efficient of friction 
values due to increase its surface energy, polarity and 
surface roughness on the rubber surface.
