In many industrial environments, safety depends on reliable surface protection. Where chemicals are in regular use, maintaining slip resistance can be a challenge – but that’s exactly what Heskins Chemical Resistant Extra Coarse Safety-Grip Tape is designed to handle.
Why Chemical Resistance is So Important
Standard anti-slip tapes are ideal for everyday use, easily coping with water, mild detergents, and the occasional spill of oil or fuel. However, in areas exposed to strong acids, alkalis, solvents, or harsh cleaning chemicals, even the most durable general-purpose tapes can start to degrade. Adhesion weakens, the surface coating breaks down, and traction is reduced – all of which increases the risk of slips and accidents.
To overcome this, Heskins developed its Chemical Resistant Safety-Grip range. It uses a modified upper bonding resin that provides exceptional resistance to chemical attack. This special formulation prevents delamination and ensures that the surface grit remains firmly bonded, even after prolonged exposure to aggressive substances.
Importantly, this advanced protection doesn’t compromise on appearance or performance. The tape looks and feels identical to our standard Safety-Grip range, delivering the same high level of traction that users expect from Heskins products.
Extra Coarse Grip for Maximum Safety
When surfaces are oily, wet, or contaminated, you need a product that provides absolute confidence underfoot. That’s where Extra Coarse Chemical Resistant Safety-Grip excels.
With its large abrasive granules and deep texture, this version delivers extreme grip – even when contaminants are present. It’s designed for the harshest conditions, such as:
- Chemical manufacturing and processing plants
- Laboratories and testing facilities
- Industrial cleaning areas and wash bays
- Refineries and engineering workshops
- Ramps, steps, and walkways near chemical zones
Wherever hazardous chemicals are in use, this tape provides the dependable grip needed to keep staff safe and operations running smoothly.
Tested and Proven Performance
Like all Heskins Safety-Grip products, the chemical resistant variant is laboratory tested to ensure consistent performance. It achieves an R13 slip-resistance rating, representing one of the highest levels of grip available.
Even after exposure to aggressive chemical environments, the tape retains its adhesion and friction properties – ensuring long-term protection and reliability.
Installation and Custom Options
- Application temperature: Best applied at or above 10°C for optimal adhesion.
- Widths available: From 19mm up to 1168mm, covering everything from narrow ladders to wide walkways.
- Colour options: Produced in black as standard, with other colours available upon request.
- Custom printing: Add safety messages, arrows, or branding without compromising chemical resistance.
Since the product shares the same construction as our standard Safety-Grip tape, upgrading to the chemical resistant version is straightforward and requires no special application procedures.
