All of our anti-slip tape materials have high levels of chemical resistance; the potential power of a chemical to damage the anti-slip tape varies from solution to solution.

Commonly found chemicals such as water, soap solutions or many others do not pose any harm, even occasional exposure to certain petrochemicals or harsher cleaning does not affect the material. In certain, and very rare, situations the anti-slip tape could be completely submerged under a liquid that is extremely aggressive. Some of our customers use problematic solutions; these could include high concentration MEK, toluene, acids, alkalis etc.
For almost all applications our conventional Safety-Grip range performs brilliantly. In a small number of applications one of two situations can cause problems;

1. Chemical retention

In this situation mild chemicals such as basic cleaning agents mixed with water and are trapped on the surface on the anti-slip tape with no way of escaping, the fluids form a reservoir and with no form of dissipation, over time, they can damage the resins that hold the minerals onto the plastic film.

2. Harsh Chemicals

Our Safety-Grip is not designed to resist harsh chemicals such as toluene, MEK etc. The chemicals are not commonly used but they can create problems for resins.

Chemical resistant anti-slip tape has a modified upper bonding resin; this modification helps to prevent problems by resisting most chemical attacks. The resin used is designed to withstand long term exposure to high concentration chemicals. Chemical resistant Safety-Grip has exactly the same appearance as our normal Safety-Grip range, the grit looks the same, the adhesion is the same level, and it has the same levels of Coefficient of Friction (how grip levels are measured).

Chemical Resistant Safety-Grip anti slip floor tape provides excellent grip in environments where the material could be exposed to chemicals, such as cleaning cupboards, labs, hospitals, etc.

Chemical Resistant Safety Grip resists most chemical attacks, withstanding long term exposure to high concentration chemicals, but is not designed to resist harsh chemicals such as toluene, MEK etc. The chemicals are not commonly used but they can create problems for resins.

With the same appearance, adhesion level, grit and friction as the normal Safety-Grip range, Chemical Resistant Safety-Grip will match existing Safety-Grip installations and is available in 3 grades:.

•  – Standard Grade
•  – Coarse Grade
•  – X-Coarse

Custom shapes, colours and sizes can be made to order - contact our sales team on 01512009036  or info@slipsaway.co.uk.

See the our range of accessories for additional help during application, pro-longing the life of anti-slip tapes and line markings. The range consists of primers, edge fixing, mallets, rollers etc.

The Safety Grip range is available in many thicknesses and colours, including Transparent, Fluorescent Yellow, Hazard schemes in red/white and black/yellow, Camouflage, and Glow In The Dark Photoluminescent. The material comes on rolls as well as pre-made shapes, such as feet and boot outlines; more sizes and custom cuts, shapes and colours can be made to order, up to a maximum width of 1168mm - contact our sales team by email or on 0151 200 9026 to discuss your requirements.
