SLIP-RESISTANT SURFACES
Anti-slip tape for walkways, steps and vehicles
Anti-slip tape adds a grippy surface to areas where people step. The substrate and its shape matter, as do moisture, contamination and expected wear. Krückemeyer GmbH can discuss suitable cut sizes and die-cut shapes for your application.
01
Selection criteria
Which surface needs more grip?
Start with the surface: smooth walkways, steps and ramps call for different coverings from chequer plate, edges and curved treads. The Capra Grip I datasheet describes a general-purpose covering for smooth surfaces; Capra Grip II has a conformable soft-aluminium backing for textured surfaces. The range also includes versions for wet areas. Consider expected wear and whether the surface can be prepared clean and dry before application.

SURFACE AND EXPECTED WEAR
Choose anti-slip tape to suit the walking surface
A general-purpose covering is a starting point for smooth traffic areas; check a conformable version for profiled or angled surfaces. For heavily used, dirty treads and for barefoot or wet areas, 3M describes distinct Safety-Walk coverings. “Anti-slip tape” and “anti-slip adhesive tape” refer to the same self-adhesive product group in this range; suitability depends on the product data, not the search term. Slip resistance and durability apply only to the individual version and its tested conditions.
Where width, length or shape is specified, Krückemeyer GmbH can supply suitable coverings as custom cuts or die-cut parts. Describe the surface, foot traffic, surrounding conditions and required shape in the enquiry form; we will assess the material and processing for your application.

ANTI-SLIP TAPE QUESTIONS
How does anti-slip tape differ for smooth and profiled surfaces?
The backing and its ability to follow the surface differ. According to its datasheet, Capra Grip I is a general-purpose self-adhesive covering for smooth, damp or oily surfaces with pedestrian or light vehicle traffic. Capra Grip II has a conformable soft-aluminium backing and is described for textured surfaces such as chequer plate. That does not settle the choice on its own: check the adhesive, contour and expected wear against the specific product and your surface.
Which anti-slip tape can be considered for wet areas?
There are versions specifically described for wet areas, including Capra Grip III Wet Area Fine and the Safety-Walk Wet Area Fine and Wet Area Medium variants. The manufacturer documents distinguish smooth barefoot surfaces from applications on boats or sports equipment. This does not promise suitability for every wet surface. Identify the area to be covered, whether people walk on it barefoot and how it is cleaned. Then check application conditions and slip resistance for the specific covering.
What does a slip-resistance class say about the entire range?
A slip-resistance class stated for one product does not describe every anti-slip tape in the range. The manufacturer documents list different tests and classes for different Safety-Walk versions; Capra Grip I and II have their own datasheets. A stated covering property is also not a blanket assurance for a finished walking surface. For selection, obtain evidence for the exact version and assess the substrate, installation, contamination and use in the intended setting.
What details does Krückemeyer need for cut anti-slip tape?
Describe the surface, the width and length needed, or the outline of a die-cut part. Details of foot traffic, moisture, contamination and planned installation are useful too. According to its own product information, Krückemeyer GmbH offers custom widths, lengths and precisely shaped die-cut parts from suitable anti-slip coverings. The requested shape does not replace a material check: the covering, adhesive and production method must suit the application. Send these details through the enquiry form so we can narrow down the specification together.

Request advice
Tell us about the substrate and its shape, expected wear, moisture or contamination, and the width or shape you need. We will discuss which covering and form of converting suit your application.
Discuss an anti-slip covering for your surface
If your surface has unusual contours or conditions of use, we can discuss the suitable version with you. You can add specific products to your enquiry list.
