Unlike our other anti slip tapes, this anti slip waterproof tape features an embossed plastic surface. The surface utilises a gripping texture finish, which enables it to provide excellent levels of grip while also maintaining comfort. We create this unique surfacing using an embossing roller. This process removes any “hidden” areas where bacteria and dirt can harbor. It is recommended that the surface onto which tapes are installed to be 10 degrees Celsius and above when applying anti-slip tapes. It should be clean, dry and free of grease. For porous surfaces such as unsealed wood, concrete or stone, we recommend Sika 3N Primer be used. For the reasons above we created aqua-safe over 16 years ago! Aqua-Safe has an embossed plastic surface, the pattern has a texture that provides an effective, waterproof non-slip surface. Aqua-Safe is a brilliant product with many advantages; as the material is produced by an embossing roller (an embossing roller cannot create any ‘hidden’ areas, the pattern will only have completely exposed areas) it has no cavities where bacteria/dirt etc can harbor, a perfect use for this would be kitchens, sterile manufacturing locations, food preparation areas etc. Minimise workplace trips and slips with our full range of anti-slip products. Whether you need anti-slip tape for stairs, gritted plates for industrial gangways or durable cleats for industrial machinery, we have a full range of anti-slip materials and safety equipment. Cover the entire area that is to have anti-slip tapes installed. You only need enough to seal the surface. The primer acts as a keying agent that provides extra bond. The primer requires a short time to dry; this is only minimal – in warm conditions about 10 minutes and in cold conditions, up to 20 minutes. You can easily tell when the primer has set as it will be dry to the touch.

These tapes are ideal for wet areas as well as areas with barefoot traffic. It also has a unique profile that does not trap contaminants Installation Instructions Slips Away Aqua safe, a non-abrasive waterproof self adhesive anti slip floor tape ideal for affixing to floor tiles in showers and changing rooms to aid grip in slippery environments. Aqua Safe is the original non-abrasive waterproof self adhesive anti slip tape ideal for use on boats, in showers, baths and other barefoot areas such as changing rooms. The patterned material is easy to clean and has no cavities for dirt and bacteria to hide, perfect for kitchens, sterile manufacturing locations, food preparation areas etc.Surface preparation: Wash the area to remove any grease, oil, dirt, or other contaminates, rinse and allow to dry. The Safety Tape can be applied to any smooth surface such as concrete, wood, metal, tile, terrazzo, and painted or varnished surfaces. Use the Safety Tape Primer on dusty concrete, porous, or other weak surfaces to ensure better adhesion. Marine Safety Grip is self adhesive anti slip tape tailor made for use in marine environments such as pleasure crafts, competitive boats and commercial vessels. The anti slip tape is salt-resistant for long exposure on vessels in the open sea, with S2 grit that is more like a small glass bead than a sharp edged granule. This ensures comfort when walked on with bare feet but still provides efficient slip resistance in more stressed environments. Aqua-Safe is our original non-abrasive waterproof anti-slip tape. In many instances an abrasive material cannot be used or is not ideal, this could be for the following reasons; While marine anti-slip tapes construction is that of granules applied to a surface, unlike our abrasive products which have aluminium oxide applied on top, the grit on this is S2, more like a small glass bead than a sharp-edged granule, to ensure comfort when walking on it with bare feet, but will provide efficient slip resistance when used in stressed environments. This makes it suitable for use on pleasure crafts for slip protection and comfort but will excel in more demanding applications, such as competitive boat or yacht racing, or commercial ships.

A normal abrasive surface might abrade skin, fabric, wet suits or other materials in that particular situation. For the reasons above we created aqua-safe over 16 years ago! Aqua-Safe has an embossed plastic surface, the pattern has a texture that provides an effective, waterproof non-slip surface. Aqua-Safe is a brilliant product with many advantages; as the material is produced by an embossing roller (an embossing roller cannot create any ‘hidden’ areas, the pattern will only have completely exposed areas) it has no cavities where bacteria/dirt etc can harbor, a perfect use for this would be kitchens, sterile manufacturing locations, food preparation areas etc. Applications Slips Away marine anti slip tape is one of Slips Away's first marine specific products, tailor-made to be used on the open seas, on anything from pleasure crafts, to competitive boats and commercial vessels.

Anti-Slip Tapes Buying Guide

Marine anti slip tape lends itself to use beyond marine-specific applications. Due to the cleaning potential of marine anti slip tape, it can be applied in kitchens and tiled areas subject to strict cleaning standards. The S2 applied to the surface will not cause damage to cleaning equipment as it features no sharp edges. For fast-paced environments, it is a more suitable solution than our non-abrasives. Slips and trips in the workplace The HSE has a number of guidelines on the responsibilities of employers to maintain flooring safety in the workplace. According to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, it is your responsibility as an employer to ensure the safety of employees and visitors to the workplace, and this includes ensuring that the flooring is safe and that slip-prone areas are well-marked. Anti-slip cleats Anti-slip cleats are gritted, durable and provide a visual warning for surfaces. Our Setonwalk Anti-Slip Cleats are high traction and can be easily applied in both indoor and outdoor environments. We also offer long-lasting Mop-Friendly Anti-Slip Cleats for areas that experience high traffic and are often cleaned. For industrial vehicles, equipment and zones, we offer the Heavy-Duty Coarse Anti-Slip Surfacing Cleats, which are made to withstand the extreme pressures of heavy-duty manufacturing environments.

For high traffic areas or to be applied where there could be a lot of edge scuffing, we recommend the application of Edge Sealer. This material is a compound that helps to prevent any edge failure. Simply squeeze a very small amount directly from the tube down the edge of the installed anti-slip tape. It should touch both the anti-slip tape edge and the surface onto which it is being applied. Only a very small amount is required. Marine anti slip tape is the first product to be 100% guaranteed salt resistant. We felt it necessary to have this feature due to the long amounts of time this will be applied on a vessel out in the open sea, as while we and others have previously used Safety-Grip™ and our non-abrasives, with the exception of our chemical resistant Safety-Grip™, we could not guarantee full salt resistance. With a salt-resistant marine anti slip tape, we can safely guarantee that, subject to correct application on to a clean, dry surface, the service life will be exceptional. For additional guarantees, our ancillaries will only help prolong the life span of the material.
