Heskins anti slip tapes already feature high levels of resistance to chemicals, but the potential strength of a chemical to degrade the performance of Heskins anti slip tape will vary. Common chemicals found in the workplace such as soap, water and certain petrochemicals will not affect the materials surface. However, in very rare cases an anti slip surface can be submerged in a chemical that is very aggressive. Some of customers do work with solutions that could be problematic in the performance of an anti slip surface, such as high concentrate MEK, toluene, acids and alkalis, amongst others.
For most applications, Heskins conventional Safety Grip tape performs to exceptional levels, but in rare cases, there are certain situations that can cause problems:
Some mild chemicals such as cleaning agents mixed with water can be trapped on the surface with no way of escaping, and with the fluids forming in the valleys of the anti slip tape can, over time, damage the resins that hold the abrasive grit on to the plastic film, causing it to shed.
Heskins anti slip tape is not designed to withstand harsh chemicals, such as toluene, MEK etc. The chemicals can have a detrimental impact on the resin, affecting the anti slip tapes durability.
Features:
- Suitable for use in areas that have high chemical exposure
- At present, chemical resistant anti slip tape is only produced in black
