HESKINS SAFETY GRIP CONFORMABLE ANTI-SLIP TAPE
Heskin's conformable traction tape is perfect for applying to irregular surfaces. It is ideal for diamond treads, also known as checkers or diamond plates.
If you have an irregular surface, you need a product that can cope with the intricacies of this demanding application. Diamond tread can be a dangerous surface; it is potentially lethal when wet, creating a greater risk of slips. The levels of grip can also be deficient; this is measured in the Coefficient of Friction (COF). Conventional tape only works successfully since the peaks and valleys stretch the plastic film. Thus, when applied to the valleys, it will want to revert to its original flat state. This will result in the tape lifting off the surface and becoming useless. Heskin's conformable tape has a different construction and is designed to work perfectly like diamond plate tape.
The conformable anti-slip tape looks similar to a conventional grip tape, but we use a soft aluminum foil base instead of a plastic one. This ensures the conformable traction tape conforms to the surface properly. Our tapes must also be applied to a clean, dry surface. To apply conformable anti-slip tape, you press the tape onto the surface, align it correctly, and hit the traction tape with a soft rubber mallet (which we can supply). Hence, it forms the shape of the diamond tread pattern, reducing the chance of tears and material failure.
The upper surface of the conformable anti-slip tape is an abrasive mineral coat; the minerals we apply ensure that the customer receives a product that provides Coefficient of Friction levels far exceeding any State or Federal requirement. Non-slip flooring is required by MIL SPECS MIL-17951, MIL-5044 & MIL-PRF-24667, OSHA, and the Americans with Disabilities Act 2008.
