Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals and businesses needing to enhance safety on uneven and potentially slippery surfaces like durbar tread, chequer plate, and diamond tread. The key benefit is the tape's ability to conform to these challenging textures, providing a reliable anti-slip solution where standard tapes fail. A caveat is that proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion. The Slips Away Conformable Anti Slip Tread Cleats offer a durable and effective way to mitigate slip hazards in industrial and public areas.

FAQs

What makes this tape different from regular anti-slip tape?

This tape uses a special soft aluminum foil backing that allows it to conform precisely to uneven, textured surfaces like diamond plate or durbar tread. Regular tapes are too stiff and tend to lift at the edges on such surfaces.

Can I use this tape on wood or concrete?

While primarily designed for metal plates, it may adhere to rough or textured wood or concrete if properly cleaned and prepared. However, its superior performance is on the specified metal surfaces. For smooth surfaces, a different type of tape is recommended.

How long does the anti-slip grip typically last?

The lifespan depends heavily on the amount of foot traffic, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Under normal conditions in a busy area, it is designed for durability, but regular inspection is advised.

Is the 'Hazard' color a specific safety standard?

> Info needed: Confirm if 'Hazard' color (e.g., yellow/black) meets specific regional safety regulations or standards.

What is the meaning of 'class O' for the foil backing?

Class O refers to a fire classification, indicating the material has very low surface spread of flame. This is important for safety applications, especially in public or commercial buildings.

Can I cut the tape to size?

Yes, the tape can be cut to the required dimensions using scissors or a utility knife. Ensure cuts are clean for best adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Tape is lifting at the edges.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply pressure firmly, especially around the edges, and consider using a heat gun on a low setting to help the material conform before pressing down. If the surface is porous or uneven, a primer might be needed (check manufacturer recommendations).

Tape does not seem to be adhering well.

Verify that the surface is free of contaminants like oil or grease. Ensure the tape was pressed down with sufficient force, paying attention to the textured areas. The ambient temperature during application should be within the recommended range (typically above 10°C).

Surface remains slippery after application.

Confirm that the correct side of the tape (the textured, abrasive surface) is facing upwards. Ensure the entire area intended for grip has been covered, and that the tape has molded correctly into the surface's irregularities. Check if the tape has been damaged or worn prematurely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively adheres to difficult, uneven surfaces where other tapes fail.
  • Provides a high level of slip resistance on textured metal plates.
  • Durable and long-lasting in high-traffic areas.
  • Improves safety compliance and reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Flexible material ensures a secure fit without peeling.

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results.
  • May be more challenging to apply than standard flat-surface tapes.
  • Specific dimensions (150mm x 610mm) might not suit all applications without cutting.
  • Can be more costly than basic anti-slip solutions for smooth surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, and debris. A degreaser may be necessary.
  2. Prepare the Tape: Cut the tape to the desired size if needed. For best results, apply in temperatures above 10°C (50°F).
  3. Peel and Apply: Carefully peel the backing paper away from the tape.
  4. Press Firmly: Apply the tape to the surface, pressing down firmly from the center outwards. Use a roller or a hard-edged tool to ensure maximum contact, especially into the textured valleys of the metal plate.
  5. Allow Curing: For optimal adhesion, avoid heavy foot traffic for at least 24 hours after application.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal For: Durbar tread, durbar plate, chequer plate, diamond tread, and other similarly irregular metal surfaces.
  • Not Recommended For: Smooth, flat surfaces where standard anti-slip tape would suffice; heavily corroded or loose surfaces.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the tape for signs of wear or lifting.
  • Clean the surface gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the tape edges, which could cause delamination.
