Product Description
3M Safety-Walk Hazard Slip-Resistant Tape is a yellow and black striped, non-skid tape designed to provide traction on slippery surfaces while also marking hazard zones and caution areas. This general purpose tape features abrasive mineral particles bonded to a durable, dimensionally stable backing with a heavy-duty, high-performance pressure sensitive adhesive for easy application. The high-visibility hazard stripe pattern helps identify steps, ramps, platform edges and other areas where extra caution is needed.
This slip-resistant tape has been certified by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) as a High-Traction product.
Independent testing has shown that properly applied and maintained high-traction surfaces can help reduce slip-and-fall
claims by 50% to 90%. The low-profile design helps minimize trip hazards, and the tape is built to withstand an estimated 1million pedestrian crossings under normal foot traffic, or approximately 3 years at 1,000 crossings per day. Wheeled traffic will reduce the tape's service life.
This tape can be used on flat surfaces, steps, stairways, entrances, ramps, ladders, loading docks, walkways, lawn
equipment, snowmobiles, scooters, construction machinery and vehicles. It adheres to clean, dry surfaces without wrinkling, curling, tearing, shrinking or lifting, and can be cut to size with scissors for quick, easy application.

Applications
Steps and stairways, ramps, entrances, ladders, loading docks, walkways, work vehicles, construction machinery and other areas where slip resistance and hazard visibility are both needed. Country of Origin: United States.
Application Instructions
- Make sure the surface is clean, dry and smooth, and above 40°F before applying the tape. Repair or replace any damaged surface first.
- Remove any chipped, cracked or peeling paint, then clean the surface with an appropriate degreaser or solvent wipe and allow it to dry completely.
- On rough, porous or unpainted concrete, apply a coat of primer and let it dry until no longer tacky, about 15 minutes.
- Peel back the liner about 1 inch from one end and position the tape on the surface.
- Continue removing the liner while pressing the tape firmly in place. Avoid touching the adhesive with your fingers.
- Press the tape into firm contact with the surface using a rubber hand roller, starting at the middle and rolling out toward the edges.
- On steps, apply the tape about half an inch from the stair edge to help prevent edge curling and premature wear.
