These tough tapes and treads have a top surface of resin-bonded aluminium oxide for a long lasting gritty finish, making slippery steps, floors and ramps safe. A heavy layer of pressure sensitive, water-resistant adhesive bonds the PVC backing to all smooth, non- porous surfaces.

Tough aluminium oxide grit for great slip resistance and long life
Surface Preparation
Apply to clean, smooth, dry surfaces such as painted or varnished wood, concrete, metal, tiles, and Terrazzo. Apply direct to smooth, hard concrete; dusty concrete will require a primer.
Priming
Smooth, non porous, dust free surfaces do not require priming. To improve Adhesion on weak, dusty surfaces, apply a coat of Watco Safety Tape Primer.
Application
Avoid application at temperatures below 10°C. Low temperatures can reduce adhesion.
On steps and nosings, apply the product approximately 10mm in from the edge to prevent premature wear and edge curl.
Peel back the backing strip approximately 50mm to reveal the adhesive layer. Avoid removing too much of the backing strip, but slowly keep peeling it back whilst firming the product into place.
Firming down by hand or foot pressure is generally sufficient. A rubber mallet is recommended for firming Conformable Safety Tape and Treads into place.
Adhesion
Although the product can be walked on virtually straight away, the adhesive can take 24 hours to set fully. Immediately after placing the item onto the substrate, it can be peeled off reasonably easily. Please allow the adhesive to set if using in heavily trafficked or hazardous areas.
