Safety-Grip
Heskins original anti-slip grip tape is Safety-Grip, abrasive minerals applied to a self-adhesive filmic carrier. Manufactured primarily for industrial environments, Safety-Grip tape can be used for many other applications. Back in 1997, Heskins developed the hard-wearing and effective product that is still to date our most popular range. Over the years we have constantly added to and developed the range; surface variants, more colours, different adhesives, special prints, and bespoke additions.
We produce Safety-Grip in 3 main grades:
Standard − used for most situations, the abrasive coatings provide excellent levels of grip and friction.
Coarse − a deeper material, it is an industrial-grade grip tape, which might not be suitable for more conventional applications.
X-Coarse − a unique product, nothing else in the world comes close, only suitable for industrial situations, the deep grit prevents clogging by dirt or dust. Due to its thickness, we apply a higher grade (HG) adhesive to prevent lifting, and a thicker plastic carrier is used to increase durability.
Our Products Include:
Standard Safety-Grip
Coarse Safety-Grip
Extra Coarse Safety-Grip
RigiGrip
Marine Anti-Slip Tape
Thick Safety-Grip
Mild Abrasive Safety-Grip Tape
Chemical Resistant Safety-Grip

Non Abrasives
Heskins Aqua-Safe & non-abrasive anti slip tape range have a unique non slip coating to ensure an effective non slip flooring, yet has a smoother surface for walking bare foot on and no abrasion to prevent damage to skin, material or wet suits. Non-slip flooring in a wet or marine environment has always been a challenge, yet with Heskins Aqua-Safe you can easily obtain a good non-slip surface with our non-abrasive non-slip tape. This non-slip safety flooring is ideal for use in food safety areas, due to its lack of abrasive peaks and valleys and is a unique product. The product is ideal for use on any wet areas as a non-slip surface, suitable for use as non-slip bathroom flooring on tiles or as a non-slip surface round swimming pools, hot tubs and even on boats. Because it is not abrasive, it can also be easily cleaned, making it suitable for areas with strict hygiene regulations.

Glow in the Dark Tape
Power outs in the workplace increase health and safety hazards, and doing your upmost to eradicate the problems that may arise can save you and your employees a lot of hardship. Heskins produce glow in the dark tape for that very purpose, manufactured using the latest technology in photoluminescence to ensure walkways, stairways and entrances and exits are illuminated well enough for you to find your way safely.
The glow in the dark materials used to manufacture our tapes are non-toxic, and free from any phosphorous or radioactive material. Photoluminescent tape can take very little time to charge by absorbing artificial or natural light (approx. 2 hours) by the use of photons. In a lights out situation, Heskins glow in the dark tape emits a strong photoluminescent reaction that can illuminate stair nosings, door surrounds, walkways, stairways, skirting boards, entrance/exit ways and anywhere else that would require strong, electricity free illumination.
We produce anti slip and marking tape varieties, our photoluminescent tape range is almost as vast as our standard range itself!

Dual Purpose Anti-Slip Tiles
Our most popular anti slip floor tiles are 140mmx140mm and 150mmx610mm. 140mmx140mm pieces fit perfectly onto most tile sizes whilst 150mmx610mm generally work ideally on stairs and steps (in case anyone is wondering why these particular sizes, we are an older manufacturing company and the sizes reflect the old ‘Imperial’ measurements of 5.5”x5.5” and 6”x24”, we have simply kept those sizes and made them metric).
We decided to add different elements to our non slip tiles; we imagined that many customers might find it useful to also have the addition of reflective strips, photoluminescent sections, hazard chevrons etc. The dual purpose non slip tiles benefit from our class leading abrasive upper surface, our acrylic adhesive base and high quality plastic film carrier. Our permanent adhesive will adhere onto most surfaces, with the use of our ancillaries this helps with application and long term durability. The abrasive anti slip tiles surface is produced from minerals that are close to diamond hardness on the MoH scale, they offer superior anti slip effectiveness. Both sizes of non slip tiles come complete with rounded corners to offer excellent durability to reduce the risk of edge lift from scuffing.
Our Products Include:
150mm x 610mm Reflective and Glow in the Dark Stripe
150mm x 610mm Hazard and Glow in the Dark Stripe
