Heskins Printed Safety-Grip highlights hazardous areas as a risk to foot traffic, and is coated with a tough mineral anti-slip surface. The abrasive surface is not easily clogged by dirt, dust or other contaminants and, once applied, is extremely tough and not readily affected by chemicals. Recommended uses are on stair nosings, walkway edges, and at the edge of mid-level warehouse docks and loading bays.
Printed Safety Grip can be applied onto almost any interior or exterior surface; if applied onto an external porous surface (wood, concrete or stone etc) the use of H3506 Primer is recommended prior to application. For heavy duty fittings, it is recommended to use H3502 Edge Fix around the edge.
R118 approved (Burning behavior of materials used in the construction of commercial vehicles).
The Safety Grip range is available in many thicknesses and colours, including Transparent, Fluorescent Yellow, Hazard schemes in red/white and black/yellow, Camouflage, and Glow In The Dark Photoluminescent. The material comes on rolls as well as pre-made shapes, such as feet and boot outlines; more sizes and custom cuts, shapes and colours can be made to order, up to a maximum width of 1168mm - contact our sales team by email or on 0113 2455450 to discuss your requirements.
To warn personnel, staff and visitors of ESD-restricted areas (Electrostatic), Heskins Printed ESD PermaRoute is a self-adhesive, high-visilibility printed tape applied in the same way as Printed Safety Grip. For more warning tapes and tiles, see:
See the Heskins range of accessories for additional help during application, pro-longing the life of anti-slip tapes and line markings. The range consists of primers, edge fixing, mallets, rollers etc.
