Application
Coarse resilient tapes application in industrial areas can be broken down into a variety of uses:
Anti Slip Stair Edging
On construction sites and in other industrial environments, steps and stairs are exposed to the elements, and the elements are also brought indoors by the user, causing stairs to become hazardous, and therefore increasing the chance of slips. Walkways in and around buildings and footplates and steps on machinery are all prone to the same outcome. Applying anti slip stair strips as anti slip stair edging to these areas will help to reduce slips, with the industrial finish preventing the dirt and other contaminants from degrading performance to levels that do not meet regulations. Coarse resilient can be sold in rolls or sheets so you can cut your own non slip stair strips, or we can cut them for you to arrive in ready to apply packs, just clean and dry the area, and stick down, and your anti slip stair strips are ready for use. Coarse resilient makes durable, hard-wearing, industrial-grade non-abrasive non slip stair edging to be used in various areas.
Walkways
Many walkways on docks, or at swimming pools, are usually susceptible to water exposure. In these environments, shoes aren’t worn, and if they are they are usually light to prevent heavy waterlogging, so bare skin can be exposed. Using an abrasive anti slip could cause injury and discomfort while walking or working in the environment. Coarse resilient tape allows for fantastic grip levels in demanding environments while being completely comfortable to use.
Please note: Coarse Resilient anti slip tape cannot be applied underwater, but can be submerged once it has been applied to a surface and has had time to cure.
Sizes
We manufacture CR_LEAN coarse resilient tape in roll widths up to 49 inches in clear and 53 inches in black. For those who would like a custom option such as a specific size, color or shape, dependent on order quantity, this is possible.
Material
Coarse resilient tape is constructed from an embossed plastic, with an embossing technique applied that allows for an excellent surface texture that has high levels of CoF (Coefficient of Friction) while being non abrasive. Micro blowing, while the material is still molten, allows for deeper troughs and valleys than regular resilient, meaning it can be used in alternative environments, increasing levels of CoF to ensure slip resistance in areas prone to dirt and ice build-up.
Coarse resilient tape is available in 3 different variants:
MK2
The base film for this is manipulated to give it a finish which is extremely similar to rubber, not only giving it great non slip properties, but the inherent softness also gives it holding properties. Whilst the peaks and valleys are not so sharp, the features of the material make up for this to give it a fantastic CoF.
MK3
The base film on CRMKIII and CR_LEAN have not been manipulated so much, but this ensures that sharper peaks and valleys can be produced during the embossing process, as firmer plastics retain a complex pattern much more easily. This allows for excellent CoF levels, that create fantastic slip prevention in water or in moist conditions.
CR_LEAN
This is our lean coarse resilient. You can read more about it by visiting the page here.
Heskins® non-abrasive range is constructed from plastic due to the dimensional stability that it brings. Materials such as rubber are too inconsistent to meet quality control regulations for these products, so by using plastic we can achieve the same benefits rubber provides, but with a more consistent finish.
For a leaner, non-abrasive anti slip material, our resilient tape is also available. This can still provide excellent grip levels, for less demanding applications.
