Our current crop of anti-slip materials are strong enough to withstand industrial use and more, but for a long time, we have had various customers asking us to produce very thick anti-slip materials for their application requirements, but achieving this has always created many production obstacles.

In early 2015, we made the decision to produce very thick anti-slip tape measuring 2mm in depth! This has involved us modifying the necessary production machinery to be able to handle the additional thickness this material has, investing in a new range of crush cut blade holders to ensure we can create our thick Safety-Grip products to the same level of consistent quality as with our current range of anti-slip tapes.

As of July 2015, we are producing 2mm thick grip tape in one grit grade, which sits somewhere between standard and coarse, and is available in one colour, black.

Applications

Our new, 2mm thick grip tape, actually made a little thicker due to the adhesive substance applied on the base, now has many uses, particularly application into recesses to not only remove trip hazards but increase the non-slip properties of walkways or steps.

It is used as a thicker material, mainly for recesses, i.e. to stand proud above the surrounding metal or stone, if you think of our normal material a recess of less than 0.8mm in-depth is hard to achieve and unusual, a recess of 1.8mm or even 2mm is easy and very common. H3404 very thick Safety-Grip will stand proud.
Some people generally prefer thicker materials, boats often use 2mm product, it is historical and also with floors constructed from plate steel, the thickness provides cushioning.

The optimal application temperature for thick Safety-Grip is 10°C  or above.

Sizes

We can supply it in cut pieces or rolls from 20mm to 1170mm in width and 18.3m in length. Regardless thick grip tape is available at a very competitive price.

Tape Thickness

Thick Safety-Grip™ offers a substantial total applied thickness of 2.12mm, engineered for maximum durability and enhanced underfoot stability. Its reinforced construction includes a dense PVC backing that provides exceptional strength while maintaining enough flexibility to bond securely to a wide range of surfaces, including uneven or heavily textured areas. This added thickness delivers a significantly deeper, more aggressive slip-resistant profile, making it ideal for demanding industrial, commercial, and outdoor environments where long-lasting traction is critical.

Testing

At Heskins, we prioritise safety above all else. That’s why our  anti-slip tape undergoes rigorous lab testing to verify its exceptional slip-resistant properties. We’re proud to announce that our Thick Safety-Grip tape holds an R13 rating, demonstrating its superior grip and effectiveness in preventing slips and falls.

Custom Printing

Thick Safety-Grip can be custom printed with text, symbols, or branding to create a dual-purpose solution that improves both traction and communication in busy environments. Its durable, cushioned surface is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and equipment movement, making it ideal for industrial and commercial spaces. Adding messages such as “MAX LOAD 1,000 KG,” “AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY,” or company logos helps reinforce operational protocols while enhancing site organization. In manufacturing plants, for example, this tape can be applied around large machinery to indicate load limits, restricted zones, or maintenance access points. The printed elements remain visible even in dusty or high-wear areas, offering long-term clarity where safety and structure are essential.
