Anti-slip tape H3406

• For application on uneven surfaces such as durbar tread • Aluminium foil backing has no memory so conforms to surfaces • Reduces risk of anti-slip lifting from uneven surfaces Durbar plate, chequer plate, diamond tread are all commonly used, you can see them almost everywhere for fire exits, walkways, access platforms etc. It is a common misconception that the pattern provides a safe surface to walk on, unfortunately, this is not correct. Durbar plate is an extremely slippy surface, metal does not easily provide a non-slip floor (its hard surface does not attract grip) and the pattern often creates more problems than it solves (the rises result in less surface area for footwear). Many government safety websites warn of the risk of using durbar type plate in critical areas. Conformable Safety-Grip tape is the answer to the problems that irregular metal plates create. Durbar plate was previously impossible to coat with a non slip surface, a conventional non slip tape would rise up when stretched into the valleys. Benefits Conformable anti slip tape is special, it has a class O, very soft aluminium foil backing. The advantage of using a foil instead of a conventional plastic is for the following reasons; 1. Foil has zero stretch tolerances – unlike a plastic it will not be stretched, when a plastic stretches it wants to revert to its original state so will lift from an irregular substrate. 2. The foil has no memory, it can be pressed into place and will remain in that shape.
