Traditionally, industrial plants chose to use steel tread plate as an answer to the slippery, oily environment found in many industrial settings.  It was soon discovered that the steel tread plate was not as “slip resistant” as thought to be, especially when immersed in oil and other liquids.  Safety and Maintenance Managers began looking for other solutions to fit their needs, such as dimple plate.  However, the dimple plate did not perform to the required expectations either, leaving a dangerous situation for workers.  Many industrial plants turned to SlipNOT^®, looking for a permanent and durable flooring option.  SlipNOT^® slip resistant surface applied to smooth plate proved to exceed expectations and help achieve safety goals at many types of plants and work environments.  In contrast to steel tread plate or dimple plate, SlipNOT^® is rugged and does not need to be replaced every couple of years.  SlipNOT^® smooth plate with a random hatch matrix surface is an economical one-time solution.
