hoher positiver....
I read the phrase as "high - positive coefficient of friction".
This would apply here to an anti-slip liquid - a traction improver, or something similar, while a "negative coefficient of friction" would be applied to a lubricant. As least, that's what it looks like to me....

English term (edited):
high positive coefficient of friction
hoher Reibwert
Liquid friction modifier with high positive coefficient of friction =
Flüssigkeitsreibungszusatz mit hohem (zwangsläufigem) Reibungskoeffizient.
Liquid friction = Flüssigkeitsreibung
modifier = Modifikationsmittel, Zusatzmittel
positive clutch = formschlüssige Kupplung
positive drive = zwangsläufiger Antrieb
positive lubrication = Zwangsschmierung
coefficient of friction = Reibwert, Reibbeiwert, Reibungskoeffizient
(alle Angaben aus Wörterbuch der Technik)
