3M™ Safety Walk: Find the Best Product
As a 3M™ Preferred Converter, the experts at iD Products will recommend the best 3M™ Safety-Walk™ material for your application based on our analysis of your substrate, surface type, application and color requirements. Our in-house die-cutting services will mass produce your custom printed Safety-Walk Tape and Treads in your exact dimension to fit your space.
3M™ Safety-Walk™ Slip-Resistant Tapes and Treads provides four types of anti-slip surfaces, ranging from heavy duty abrasive grit for the most extreme work conditions to finely textured vinyl that’s comfortable on bare feet.
GENERAL PURPOSE AND COARSE
- Larger abrasive mineral particles provide friction and skid proof surfaces, even in wet or oily conditions. Bonded by a resilient polymer to a stable plastic film to ensure long service life and durability.
CONFORMABLE
- Adhesive backed aluminum film allows material to be fitted on corners and irregular surfaces with things like rivets and screws without creating a tripping hazard.
MEDIUM RESILIENT
- Softer-textured, mineral-free surface bonded to a dimensionally stable plastic film backed with pressure sensitive adhesive. Durable enough for shoes, but comfortable on bare feet.
FINE RESILIENT
- Finely textured vinyl backed with water-resistant pressure-sensitive adhesive. Enhances slip resistance in the shower and on flooring.
