S&X Anti-Slip Tape is outdoor anti-slip tape designed to restore traction on stairs, ramps and decks, promising durable, high-grit grip. That reassurance reduces anxiety when walking on wet or slippery surfaces, particularly after dark. Will the adhesive and materials stand up to marine environments and years of foot traffic?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Grip Performance: High-grit, abrasion-resistant surface for confident traction on wet or oily steps
- • Best for: Homeowners, trades and boat owners fitting safety strips to outdoor steps and ramps
- • Not ideal for: Delicate or temporary flooring that cannot accept a permanent, strong adhesive
High-grit surface bonded to a strong backing adhesive delivers sustained traction. Engineering-grade polyester film provides strength and dimensional stability for outdoor use.
Improved visibility at night – with a photoluminescent strip
An embedded photoluminescent strip stores ambient light and emits a glow in low-light conditions, marking step edges without electricity. The strip is integrated into the tape so visibility remains along the length of each strip.
Step edges become easier to see after dark, reducing trip hazards and improving confidence on stairs and ramps.
Long-lasting outdoor performance – thanks to engineering-grade polyester film and abrasion-resistant grit
Engineering-grade polyester film offers greater strength and dimensional stability than PVC, while a stubborn, high-grit surface resists abrasion from repeated footfall. The combination targets multi-year durability under outdoor exposure.
Grip remains effective over prolonged use, so strips do not need frequent replacement on exposed surfaces.
Suitable for marine and oily environments – with waterproof, oil-proof and chemical resistance
Waterproof and oil-proof construction, plus resistance to weak acids and alkalis, allows installation on boats, trailers and poolside areas where splashes and contaminants occur. A strong backing adhesive secures the tape to a range of substrates.
Safe traction is maintained in environments prone to moisture, oil and mild chemical exposure.
