CUSHION GRIP TAPE

Our H3408 Cushion Grip tape is an anti-slip with a difference…

Cushion Grip tape is produced using PU. One of the many benefits of PU is that it provides high levels of cushioning; PU has a different construction from other plastics we utilize. When PU is produced, it can be ‘foamed’, providing a profound cushioning effect that cannot be experienced with other plastics.

The cushioning allows for a very comfortable barefoot experience, ideal for users not wearing shoes or boots. PU contains no potentially harmful chemicals in other, more commonly used plastics. Thus, it can be used in applications where a conventional material is not feasible.

As a manufacturer of anti-slip tapes, using PU allows greater flexibility for Heskins. Different embossing rollers are used, and PU can be embossed in more profound quantities, creating a unique upper pattern. Instead of appearing like a wave or dimple effect, the non-slip pattern appears in risers, thus adding to the cushioning and creating an aesthetically appealing appearance.

Cushion Grip tape possesses high levels of grip. Grip levels are measured as Coefficient of Friction (CoF). As a company, we test to all international standards, and there are various testing methods for CoF; as a company, we prefer Pendulum as it is scientific and controlled by strict procedures concerning setup and method. The Pendulum result for Cushion Grip anti-slip tape is incredibly 108 dry and 62 wet. The CoF ( coefficient of friction ) figures exceed what is required. As always, we can provide the data sheets showing the test results and original testing reports with laboratory information on request.
