Coarse Safety-Grip has, like the name suggests, a coarser grit on its surface than that of standard.

The grit is still the same substance, aluminum oxide; but the difference is the grit granules are larger with deeper valleys and higher peaks. A deep anti-slip coating helps to prevent clogging with dirt, dust, ice etc. A deeper grit provides great durability.

Coarse Safety-Grip is BS 7976:2 pendulum tested with results available on the tech specs tab.

Application

Due to the abrasive levels that coarse Safety-Grip possesses, it is more suitable for areas exposed to constant coverage of dirt or water. Industrial or construction sites do suffer from exposure to dirt, amongst other things. The deep recesses on the surface of coarse grip tape prevent it from becoming clogged within reason, allowing it to provide adequate slip protection in demanding environments. The optimal application temperature for NSTC is 50F or above.

Optimal Service Temperature

Sizes

Available in widths from 0.75″ to 46″. Sizes available off the shelf are 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″ in width, as well as full-width logs. All stock sizes have a length of 60 feet.

Tape Thickness

Coarse Safety-Grip™ features a total applied thickness of approximately 0.04 inches, engineered to deliver superior traction in demanding environments. Its thicker abrasive layer provides enhanced durability and a more aggressive grip profile, making it ideal for areas exposed to moisture, dirt, or heavy foot traffic. Supported by a resilient PVC backing, the tape maintains strong adhesion while still offering enough flexibility to conform to a variety of industrial surfaces. This construction ensures long-lasting slip resistance where a deeper, more rugged texture is required—without compromising installation ease or overall performance.

Lab Testing

At Heskins, we’re committed to providing top-tier safety solutions for all environments, and our Coarse Safety-Grip anti-slip tape is no exception. Rigorously tested in the lab, this tape has earned an impressive R13 rating, demonstrating its exceptional slip-resistant properties. Designed with a coarser texture for enhanced traction, our Coarse Safety-Grip tape is engineered to deliver superior grip, even in the most demanding conditions, such as wet, oily, or high-traffic areas. Additionally, it meets the stringent standards set by the NFSI getting a High-Traction certification, ensuring reliable slip resistance and making it an ideal solution for environments where maximum safety is required to prevent accidents.

Customization Options

Enhance the functionality of your Coarse Safety-Grip™ with fully customizable features designed to meet the specific safety needs of your environment. Custom printing allows you to add symbols, hazard warnings, directional arrows, or zone-specific labels directly onto the tape surfacereinforcing safety procedures while maintaining superior traction even on harsh or uneven terrain.

Printed Coarse Safety-Grip™ can serve as a dual-purpose safety solution, combining high visibility with reliable grip. For example, on outdoor construction sites, it can mark muddy or unstable walkways with bold arrows or caution icons, guiding workers safely through unpredictable conditions. Messages like “SLIPPERY WHEN WET”, pedestrian-only indicators, or other essential warnings can be integrated seamlessly into the tape design.

Beyond printing, Heskins offers a full range of custom anti-slip options for NSTC coarse grip tape. Depending on order quantity, we can produce coarse anti-slip tape in virtually any size, shape, or color, including exact matches to RAL or Pantone references.
