Anti Skid Tape
Anti Skid Tape
Anti-skid tape is a self adhesive safety tape with a gritted, abrasive surface that improves traction and reduces the risk of slips. It provides reliable underfoot grip in busy and wet areas.
The strong adhesive backing bonds to concrete, metal, tile, and wood, and the durable abrasive coating withstands foot traffic. It is simple to apply to floors, stairs, ramps, and step edges.
Anti-skid tape supports workplace safety and slip prevention in factories, warehouses, and public premises. High visibility options also help mark hazards and step edges clearly.

Description
What is Anti-Skid Tape
Anti-skid tape is a high-traction adhesive tape with an abrasive grit surface designed to prevent slipping on stairs, ramps, loading docks, and factory floors. It provides a durable, weather-resistant non-slip surface that improves pedestrian and worker safety in industrial, commercial, and residential environments.
Adhesive Specialities manufactures industrial-grade anti-skid tape for workplace safety applications across India. Our anti-skid tapes use aluminium oxide or silicon carbide grit bonded to a durable backing with aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive for reliable installation on concrete, metal, wood, and tile surfaces.

Applications
Warehouse and Factory Safety
Anti-skid tape marks and protects high-traffic walkways, loading zones, and areas around machinery. It is applied to smooth concrete and painted floors where foot traffic creates slip risk, especially in wet conditions.
Stairs and Ramps
Stair nosings and ramp surfaces are the most common locations for anti-skid tape. Each step edge receives a strip of tape to provide grip during ascent and descent. Outdoor stairs exposed to rain require coarse-grit, weather-resistant anti-skid tape.
Loading Docks
Vehicle loading and unloading areas are prone to spills and wet conditions. Anti-skid tape applied to dock edges and transition zones between trucks and warehouses reduces the risk of slip-and-fall incidents.
Vehicles and Equipment
Anti-skid tape is applied to vehicle steps, equipment platforms, ladders, and machine access points. It provides grip on metal surfaces that become slippery when wet or oily.
Color Coding for Safety
| Color | Meaning | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Black | General non-slip | Standard stair and ramp marking |
| Yellow | Caution / hazard zone | Stair edges, platform edges, machinery areas |
| Yellow + Black | Physical hazard warning | Loading dock edges, drop-off zones |
| Red | Fire equipment / danger | Emergency zones, fire equipment areas |
| Green | Safe zone / first aid | Emergency exits, safe walkways |
| Clear | Non-marking grip | Decorative surfaces, residential stairs |
Installation Guidelines
Clean the surface thoroughly with IPA or degreaser before application. The surface must be dry, free of oil, dust, and loose particles. Apply tape at temperatures above 10°C. Press firmly with a roller to ensure full adhesive contact. For stairs, position tape 10 to 15mm from the stair nose edge. Allow 24 hours before exposing to heavy traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is anti-skid tape used for?
Anti-skid tape is used to prevent slipping on stairs, ramps, loading docks, factory floors, and equipment platforms. It provides a durable non-slip surface that works in both wet and dry conditions.
How long does anti-skid tape last?
Industrial-grade anti-skid tape lasts 2 to 5 years depending on foot traffic volume, weather exposure, and surface type. Indoor applications last longer than outdoor installations.
Can anti-skid tape be used outdoors?
Yes. Quality anti-skid tape is UV-resistant and waterproof. It maintains grip performance in rain, humidity, and temperature variations. Select tapes with acrylic adhesive for best outdoor durability.
