ANTI-SLIP TAPES FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY
WHAT TAPES CAN IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE MARINE INDUSTRY
Marine grip tape is the first marine-specific products Heskins has produced. This material has been tailor-made to be used on open water and endure the rough and calms waters boats have to face day in and day out.
A highly durable and effective anti-slip tape, offering great levels of grip due to its high coefficient of friction. Available in a wide range of colours, Safety-Grip can be customised into rolls, sheets, or die cuts, catering to various maritime needs.
PeakGrip is essential for improving safety on boats and marine surfaces. Designed for wet and slippery environments, this durable anti-slip tape provides excellent traction, preventing slips on decks, stairs, and other high-risk areas. Ideal for both commercial and recreational vessels, PeakGrip ensures a secure footing in even the toughest marine conditions.
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.
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.
