SilvaGrip Adhesive

Silvagrip® adhears to the deck with a proprietary adhesive. There is no slipping of the grip on the deck or walkway once applied, even in the toughest conditions. Our adhesives are REACH and RoHS compliant. Silvagrip can even be applied to concrete; entrance to manufacturing company.

We have tested the shear strength of this adhesive per the Navy milspec. A one inch square piece of adhesive is applied to a stainless steel vertical surface. Then, a ten pound weight is secured to the sample. It must hold for one minute per the mil-spec. Silvagrip’s adhesive stayed secure for over an hour until finally taken down.

The adhesive, we use, is the same adhesive used on motor vehicle thresholds, emblems, components in engine compartments and inside door frames. This adhesive outlasts the life of the vehicle.

Metal encapsulated abrasive particles are more durable and secured than in polymers, epoxy or resin based nonskid. Until Silvagrip was invented, all nonskid peel and stick tapes were resin based. The first picture below is a micrograph (close-up cross section) of the materials we use. 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.
