Anti-Slip 'Tread' Tape
Description
Mitigate workplace slip hazards and ensure strict corporate OH&S compliance with our premium industrial-grade anti-slip tread tapes. Engineered using heavy-duty PVC carriers coated with a highly abrasive aluminum oxide mineral grit, these safety tapes deliver aggressive mechanical traction in high-risk zones. Featuring advanced, high-tack modified acrylic adhesive systems modeled after global manufacturing standards from Tesa and Stylus, our tread range bonds permanently to challenging substrates including raw concrete, checker plate steel, sealed timber, and factory ramps. Formulated to exceed the rigorous P5 wet pendulum classification under Australian Standard AS 4586:2013, this heavy-duty tape series maintains its structural integrity when exposed to extreme environmental weathering, heavy foot traffic, industrial washdowns, and chemical oil spills. Exceeds AS 4586:2013 P5 Slip Rating • Available in Custom Widths & Hazard ProfilesIndustrial Anti-Slip & Safety Tread Tapes | AS 4586:2013 P5 Compliant
Features & Mechanical Performance Profiles
Our heavy-duty safety tread tapes are configured to meet the high durability benchmarks required by major Sydney distribution centers, civil infrastructure networks, and heavy manufacturing floors:
- Premium Mineral Grit Density: Coated with high-grade 60-grit aluminum oxide grains to ensure long-lasting mechanical friction under heavy commercial boot traffic.
- High-Tack Acrylic Adhesive Matrix: Engineered with a specialized solvent-acrylic formulation that prevents edge-lifting, flagging, or moisture ingress over long-term application cycles.
- High Visibility Hazard Warn Profiles: Available in solid black, solid safety yellow, and alternating black/yellow diagonal stripe colorways to drastically improve visual spatial contrast on step edges and drop boundaries.
- Chemical & Fluid Isolation: Impervious to continuous water immersion, automotive motor oils, grease build-up, glycol fluids, and common alkaline factory detergents.
- Flexible Conformability: Supple PVC backing material tracks perfectly over flat areas, sharp stair nosings, structural angles, and localized floor irregularities.

Technical Anti-Slip Tape FAQ
What does an AS 4586:2013 P5 compliance rating indicate for safety compliance? +
Under the Australian Standard AS 4586:2013 wet pendulum validation index, a P5 rating represents the absolute highest classification boundary achievable for non-slip mechanical performance. This testing standard confirms the tape maintains severe friction coefficients when completely saturated with moisture, making it legally compliant for external loading ramps, structural commercial stairs, and heavy wet industrial washdown bays.
Can these non-slip safety tapes handle heavy machinery or commercial forklift traffic? +
Yes. The high-density aluminum oxide grit layers coupled with heavy-duty PVC substrates are engineered to support intensive commercial pedestrian lines and occasional wheel transitions from electric pallet jacks or rubber-tired forklifts. To ensure maximum durability in high-shear heavy vehicle lanes, ensure the tape edges are firmly sealed down using a heavy application roller.
How does weathering affect the adhesive bond over external outdoor installations? +
Our premium tread ranges employ advanced cross-linked acrylic polymers engineered similarly to top-tier options from Tesa and Stylus. These compounds are inherently UV-stabilized and temperature-resilient, meaning they reject embrittlement or solar breakdown. They handle temperature variations seamlessly without shifting or releasing from the concrete foundation.
