Product Features:

• Advantages: SlipNOT® stainless steel expanded metal stairs remain slip resistant in harsh chemical environments.  Stainless steel expanded metal stair treads provide a durable climbing surface, thus keeping pedestrians and workers safe.
• Availability: SlipNOT® slip resistant stainless steel expanded metal stair treads are custom formed in order to meet specific project requirements.
• Care: The most effective cleaning method is with a steam cleaner or power washer.  Debris can be removed with a stiff bristle brush.  SlipNOT® recommends testing any chemical cleaning agent on a sample provided by SlipNOT® to verify that it is safe to use on the SlipNOT® surface.  Organic based stains, such as grease or oil, can be removed with standard organic solvents.  Some scrubbing may be required.
• Durability: Stainless steel expanded metal stair treads coated with SlipNOT® have a file hard surface between 55 – 63 on the Rockwell “C” scale and has a bond strength of at least 4,000 psi.
• Environments: SlipNOT®’s non-slip stainless steel coated products test for microbiological and fungal matter the same as normal stainless steel products.  SlipNOT® premier products can withstand the extreme cold of cryogenics and heat of cookers and steamers, as well as daily washdowns and caustic cleaning agents.  Molten glass and metal milling facilities use SlipNOT®  because of its ability to withstand extreme temperature ranges.  Easy to install, SlipNOT® products create little installation down time.  SlipNOT® is a low maintenance, sanitary solution for slippery areas in bottling facilities, freezers, packaging and processing areas, platforms, catwalks, crossovers, and many others.
• Fabrication: Non-slip stainless expanded metal stair treads are formed to job specifications.  Treads can be formed into a channel to completely cover an existing slippery stair.  (Fabricating Instructions)
• Food Processing: SlipNOT® stainless steel products are registered by NSF International and are currently used in food processing plants, cheese plants, poultry processors and beverages plants, among others. To see our company listing on the NSF website, click here.
• Application: SlipNOT® stainless steel expanded metal stair treads are easily retrofitted over existing concrete, grating or unsafe diamond checker plate assemblies.  Non-slip expanded metal stair treads can be welded directly onto current treads or can be bolted in place.  Mid-point and top formed landings are also available.
• Slip Resistant Standards: SlipNOT® stainless steel expanded metal stair treads meet and exceed all the requirements for an ASTM / ANSI slip resistant surface and are registered slip resistant with Underwriters Laboratories per the UL 410 standard.  SlipNOT® coefficient of friction is greater than or equal to 0.85.
