• Specifically produced to be our most chemical resistant material
• Suitable for use in areas that have high chemical exposure
• Available in 3 grades
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.
Applications
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.
