Government/Military Use Cases & Approvals

US Navy Adoption and Testing

  • "Silvagrip® is approved under MIL PRF 24667-XI (formerly MIL PRF 24667C type-XI)." This is a Qualified Product List (QPL) approval from the US Navy, which is a significant endorsement.
  • The material is the "same material used on the USS Wasp for testing of the F35B to land vertically, but in a patented peel and stick application." This directly links Silvagrip to extreme, high-heat, high-wear military aviation environments.
  • The inventor has been testing the product with the U.S. Navy since 2003, and in 2014, it received the MIL-PRF designation.
  • The Navy is even "considering Silvagrip® as a temporary flight deck repair using high temp epoxy adhesive to keep the flight decks operational in damaged traditional paint on anti-skid products that have popped off." This speaks to its robustness and potential for critical temporary repairs.
  • NSN Stock Numbers: Silvagrip has specific NSN (National Stock Number) designations, meaning the military and DOD can order it directly. The NSNs are "manufacturer specific," applying only to Silvagrip, which is a major distinction.
  • Federal Contracts: Silva Non Skid Solutions LLC (the manufacturer) has received over $472.9K in federal contracts, primarily from the Federal Acquisition Service, including descriptions like "DECK COVERING, LIGHTWEIGHT, NONSLIP; MOLTEN ALUMINUM AND TITANIUM MATERIAL, PEEL AND STICK." This confirms ongoing government procurement.

US Navy Adoption and Testing

  • Mentions in Offshore Technology, Industrial Supply Magazine, and The Maritime Executive. These articles highlight Silvagrip as a superior, long-lasting alternative to traditional non-skid paints, emphasizing its durability, ease of application, and cost-effectiveness over time.
  • "Navy's Newest Nonskid" and "Silvagrip Receives QPL for MIL PRF 24667C type-XI" are specific press release titles mentioned.

Proven Performance & Military Endorsement:

Silvagrip's innovative all-metal construction isn't just theory – it's proven in the most demanding real-world applications.

US Navy & Government Approved: Silvagrip is a Qualified Product List (QPL) approved non-skid material, meeting the rigorous standards of MIL PRF 24667-XI. This official military specification approval underscores its exceptional durability and reliability. Furthermore, Silvagrip products are available for government and military procurement via specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs), a testament to its trusted status within federal operations.

Tested in Extreme Conditions: The advanced material used in Silvagrip is the same technology deployed and tested on the flight deck of the USS Wasp for F35B vertical landing operations. If it can withstand the intense heat and forces generated by modern jet aircraft, it's ready for your toughest challenges.

Industry Recognition: Silvagrip has been featured in leading industry publications such as Offshore Technology and The Maritime Executive for its groundbreaking design and superior performance in marine and industrial environments. It's recognized as a long-lasting, cost-effective alternative to traditional anti-slip coatings.
