Standard Safety-Grip (NSTS)

Since 1997, standard Safety-Grip has been our flagship product, as the first product we manufactured and sold.... More Info Less Info







Using a fine grade aluminum oxide makes standard Safety-Grip a suitable safety product for a variety of applications, including but not limited to stair nosing, walkways, ramps, airboats, gun grips and vehicle steps. A standard anti-slip tape with a medium abrasive coating makes it great for general slip prevention requirements, possessing excellent CoF (Coefficient of Friction) levels. Non slip flooring requirements are required on the MIL SPECS MIL-17951, MIL-5044 & MIL-PRF-24667, OSHA and Americans with Disabilities Act 2008.

Standard Safety-Grip is also water-resistant (a range of application accessories are available for non-porous surfaces), allowing for excellent durability in internal and external environments.

Standard Safety-Grip Sizes

We produce and stock standard Safety-Grip in all the above colors, in sizes ranging from 1″ to 46″ in width and 5 feet to 60 feet in length. Rolls can be produced at a minimum width of .5″ if required, as well as a variety of die cuts to suit you needs.

Custom Standard Safety-Grip

Custom Safety-Grip is also available, dependent on order quantity, allowing you to receive anti-slip tape in any color (matching RAL and Pantone references) size or shape to suit your needs. Please speak to the sales team if you require further information.

Durable, vibrant print finishes that can be used as sheets or converted into rolls or die-cuts.



Coarse Safety-Grip (NSTC)

Coarse Safety Grip has a coarser grade than standard applied to its surface to allow for more demanding industrial application in areas prone to dirt and heavy dust exposure.... More Info Less Info







• Coarser surface to prevent clogging by dust and mud
• Suitable for construction and more heavy-duty sites
• Available in widths from 0.75″ to 46″

Using the same aluminum oxide grit as standard, but not crushed to as fine a grade, results in the surface having larger peaks and valleys that are less likely to be clogged by dirt and dust. The coarser grit makes for a more rough grip tape, that also allows for heightened durability when exposed to the elements. Non slip flooring requirements are required on the MIL SPECS MIL-17951, MIL-5044 & MIL-PRF-24667, OSHA and Americans with Disabilities Act 2008.

Coarse Safety Grip Sizes

Available in widths ranging from 1″ to 46″, and lengths from 15 feet to 60 feet as standard.

Coarse Resilient Tape (CR)

Coarse resilient tape is manufactured in the same manner as our resilient tape. However, we have increased the non slip surfaces effectiveness for areas that may be subjected to dirt build-up and water, such as industrial application.

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.



Marine Anti Slip Tape (MAR)

H3460 Marine grip tape is the first marine-specific products Heskins has produced. This material has been tailor-made to be used on open water and endure the rough and calms waters boats have to face day in and day out.

... More Info Less Info







Marine grip tape can be used on anything from competitive boats, commercial vessels or pleasure crafts. Due to the number of boats, yachts, and vessels this tape can be used on, we put in a large amount of development to make a 100% salt resistant boat grip tape. We felt this was a necessary feature for this material to have, as, without this feature, the material may begin to lift or degrade due to the high salt content in the open seas.

Why Choose Marine Grade Anti-Slip Tape?

By guaranteeing this material is 100% resistant to salt, we can be sure that when applying Marine anti slip tape to a clean and dry surface, this material should cure to the surface well, and create a great boat grip tape, lasting for a long amount of time. If you want to ensure a prolonged life span of your material, it is a good idea to enquire about our application accessories, these products can help to prolong the life span of the material, and make the initial application stronger.

Marine anti slip tape is a non-abrasive material, making it very kind to skin, and comfortable to walk on. Unlike our standard Safety Grip™ anti skid tape, this material is made by using rounded granules, known as S2, like small glass beads, allowing for a strong boat grip tape without compromising the comfort or easy cleaning properties a normal non-abrasive would have! An abrasive alternative to this tape is made of a harsh, sharp-edged granule, aluminum oxide, designed to create a powerful grip, but at the cost of potential damage to any soft material touching it e.g. skin. This would make it unsuitable for pleasure vessels and yachts alike, where people may want to relax and enjoy themselves. Marine grip tape can be found in rolls or die cuts, for custom orders, such as specific shapes, or colors, we will be more than happy to discuss your requirements, depending on order quantity.

Glow in the Dark Marking Tape (PHOT)

During daylight or lights on scenario, glow in the dark marking tape is a mild green color; in a lights out situation it immediately releases a highly noticeable bright glow.... More Info Less Info







Benefits

Our glow in the dark egress hazard marking tapes does not use any radioactive materials or components that breach any state, federal or international standards. Impregnated into the upper surface are the photoluminescent powders, these powders have an indefinite lifespan and can be recharged over and over, for the duration of the lifespan of the tape.

Underneath the top film, we apply a permanent self-adhesive that has a heavy coat weight. The adhesive is exposed by removing the protective backing paper, then, simply stick down onto any surface that is clean, dry and free from any grease. For applying onto porous surfaces (wood, concrete, stone etc.) we recommend the use of our surface primer prior to application.

Application

With this being a smooth tape, it’s primary use is for marking many areas as a hazard marking tape.

Doorways

Marking doorways, particularly door frames, allows for exit and entry points to be found in low light or lights out situations. Glow in the dark marking tape can be applied in seconds, and is ready to use immediately.

Low Edges

By applying glow in the dark hazard marking tape to low edges, you can prevent head injuries in low to no light situations. It is a very efficient use for it, as not much tape will be required to mark the area as hazardous.

Stairways

Ensuring stairways and their steps are completely visible is not always an easy task, but by using glow in the dark hazard marking tape, you can completely highlight the stairway and every step to ensure no mis-steps.

Light Switches

Finding light switches in the dark can be very troublesome for many. Applying glow in the dark marking tape on or around light switches removes the difficulty associated with finding light switches in a dark room.

Our glow in the dark egress tape is available in either roll or die-cut shape format. We offer this tape in 30 ft. rolls and can be cut to any width, with the maximum width of 46” for plain color and 23” for hazard chevrons. Die cuts can be produced easily to many sizes and shapes, please enquire with us to discuss your needs. For most specifications, we can produce custom products with great lead times.

Our glow in the dark material has been fully tested. Light emission is measured by millicandela, if you require a data sheet please enquire with our sales office. We have a range of datasheets and other technical information we are more than happy to provide.
