When metal decks contract and expand, the adhesive used in Silvagrip® expands and contracts with the metal decking, thus eliminating the potential of cracks, chips and delamination you get with traditional epoxy and grit.
LONGEST LASTING NON-SKID TO HIT THE DECK
Flexible and durable
Wear Resistant
Only Silvagrip’s® ceramic abrasives are perma-locked into a sophisticated metal alloy substrate.
Longer Life
Silvagrip's® metal matrix lasts many times longer than traditional resin-based non-skids.
Easy Install
Easy to install peel and stick. No special tools and no waiting – surface is ready to use immediately.

Silvagrip® marine nonskid tape has a rockwell hardness of Rc60+ and a high bond strength of 2,500 psi. This alloy is resistant to oils and fuels, unaffected by sun, salt, and weather.
Side by Side Comparison
Silvagrip® Peel & Stick Nonskid Tape
- Can be applied to any dry clean surface
- Ready for traffic immediately after installation
- No special tools required
- Convenient pre-cut sizes
- Eliminates hot and cold work restrictions
- Uniform surface and clean appearance
- Reduced maintenance and life cycle costs
- Eliminates rust bleed-thru
- No ventilation requirements for installation
- Can be maintained, repaired, or replaced while in port or underway
Traditional Epoxy Non Skid Paint
- Removal is noisy, dirty, and time consuming
- Speciality tools and expereince needed for required surface prep
- Primer must dry and remain clean until epoxy is applied
- Epoxy has a long cure time
- Narrow limits for temperature and humidity
- Areas must be secured for days, preventing other work in the area
- Rework due to someone stepping on the primer or wet nonskid is common
- Temporary ventilation needed for interior applications
- No protection to deck from corrosion – can cause accelerated corrosion
- Significant quantities of hazardous material must be stored
The key advantage of Silvagrip nonskid over epoxy nonskid is that our peel & stick has none of the associated costs and constraints associated with applying traditional epoxy nonskid or removing it.
