SlipNOT® aluminum unpunched plank is an ideal alternative when a lightweight, corrosion resistant material is desired.  Plank can be used as an option to those applications requiring bar grating with plate attached to it. Unlike plated bar grating, unpunched plank provides a permanent slip resistant surface that will not splinter or flake off.

See SlipNOT® Specifications, CAD Drawings, COF/ADA and Case Studies regarding non-slip unpunched plank.

Product Features:

• Advantages: Unpunched plank provides a high strength to weight ratio in areas where durability is vital.  Unpunched plank is used in environments where solid decking is required.  Bridge decking and truck platforms are just some of the ways that slip resistant unpunched plank is used.
• Availability: Unpunched plank can be purchased in stock sheets or cut to size and custom formed for specific project requirements.
• Durability: Unpunched plank coated with aluminum SlipNOT® has a bond strength of at least 2,000 psi.  If coated with steel or stainless steel SlipNOT®, unpunched plank 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 unpunched plank can be sheared, welded, flame cut, torch cut, laser or water jet cut, plasma cut, countersunk and drilled for complete versatility, both in the shop and field. (Fabricating Instructions)
• Pattern: Unpunched plank is provided in a solid metal pattern.
• Slip Resistant Standards: Unpunched plank meets and exceeds all the requirements for an ASTM / ANSI slip resistant surface and is registered slip resistant with Underwriters Laboratories per the UL 410 standard.  SlipNOT® coefficient of friction is greater than or equal to 0.85.

ADA Information:
