SpeedGrip tape is an excellent choice for the marine industry, offering a unique blend of mild anti-slip properties and superior cushioning. Its versatility is highlighted by its effectiveness in yacht lockers and on decks, where it prevents material slippage and cushions against impacts, protecting high-value items. Engineered for delicate surfaces, this self-adhesive tape provides lasting protection, making it ideal for the preservation of luxury goods and sensitive equipment. SpeedGrip is particularly suited for nautical applications, ensuring both safety and the careful maintenance of quality in challenging marine environments.

Black PeakGrip Tape Roll

PeakGrip tape is a robust anti-slip solution ideal for the marine industry, designed to withstand harsh environments while providing superior traction. Its surface is made up of large, chunky granules that create excellent grip, while the spacing between these granules allows water, mud, and other fluids to drain away, preventing the surface from becoming slippery or clogged. This makes it particularly effective for areas exposed to moisture, such as ship decks or docks. The tape’s strong HG adhesive ensures a secure and permanent bond, making it suitable for long-term use in demanding conditions. Available in various widths, PeakGrip is versatile and durable, delivering reliable anti-slip performance wherever safety and stability are required.

This tape stands out as the most successful marine non-slip material, combining non-abrasive qualities ideal for barefoot areas with a good coefficient of friction for safety. It’s available in popular colours, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

A unique, non-abrasive material that elevates grip levels without harsh grit. Fully waterproof and available in clear, grey, or black, Coarse Resilient tape comes in various forms, including standard and lean, making it exceptionally versatile.

Known for its waterproof, kind to skin and non-abrasive texture, Resilient tape’s adhesive is not aqueous-based, so it will not readily breakdown in water, and the upper non-slip surface is impervious to water if applied correctly, making it suitable for a variety of applications in the marine sector.

Ribbed Rubber non-slip material boasts a multitude of potential uses, thanks to its unique texture and slip-resistant properties, liquids naturally flow into the ribbed canals of the non-slip material.

A rubber-like material with a tacky feel, offering excellent slip protection while providing cushioning for added comfort, ideal for various safety applications, we have seen TackyGrip waterproof tape used on boats, canoes, kayaks and surfboards.

Available in several variants, with both adhesive and non-adhesive options, this versatile fabric can be used on tables, counters, seating, or flooring, offering slip resistance and additional comfort for a variety of surfaces.

Improve grip on ribbed decking where anti-slip tape alone wouldn’t stick. You drill in these decking plates to add additional grip properties to boat decking. We can supply stainless steel bolt down plates for marine purposes.

WHERE CAN TAPES IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE MARINE INDUSTRY

On Deck Surfaces Of Fishing Boats

To provide extra grip for fishermen, especially in areas where fish are processed, and the deck may become slippery due to water and fish scales. Our blog is a helpful resource for a more in-depth look at anti-slip tapes on boats.

On Jetty And Dock Edges

To prevent slipping when boarding or disembarking from boats, especially in areas where algae or moisture makes the surfaces slippery anti-slip material can offer that much needed grip underfoot.

Inside Personal Watercrafts

To prevent slipping when boarding or disembarking from boats, especially in areas where algae or moisture makes the surfaces slippery anti-slip material can offer that much needed grip underfoot.

On Equipment Handles

Waterproof non-slip materials ensure a firm grip even in wet conditions, like on the handles of winches, ropes, or other marine equipment.

On Staircases Of Cruise Ships

Especially on outdoor staircases exposed to elements like rain and ocean spray, conformable anti-slip treads reduce the potentially hazardous area.

Around Swimming Areas On Yachts

To provide safe footing around pools or sea-access points where water makes surfaces slippery, choose Heskins aqua safe tapes.

On Rescue Equipment

You may apply anti-slip material on the sides of lifeboats or rescue rafts to ensure safe boarding during emergencies.

In Engine Rooms Or Maintenance Areas

Where oil or other lubricants might make floors slippery, posing a risk to crew members working in these areas, choose chemical-resistant slip-resistant material.

On Helipads On Larger Vessels

Heskins tapes provide extra traction during helicopter landings and takeoffs, where the surface can become slick due to sea spray or rain.

On Walkways Of Marine Research Vessels

Anti-slip tape can reduce slip hazards, especially in areas where researchers might handle wet equipment or samples.

Keel Protection

Keel protection tape is an essential safeguard, providing a durable and resistant barrier against abrasions and impacts, thus preserving the integrity of the keel on boats and yachts.

On Cruise Vessel Steps

In marine settings, metal steps with durbar or diamond tread can still be slippery, but applying Conformable tape offers a solution. This tape moulds to the step’s pattern, combining the tread’s natural traction with the tape’s superior anti-slip properties for enhanced safety.
