New Anti-Slip Tape from Martinson-Nicholls Prevents Slips on Coast Guard Ships

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Martinson-Nicholls, an innovator in pressure sensitive anti-slip tapes (http://www.floormat.com/710-anti-slip-tape.html) has, along with 3M, developed a new, more aggressive tape for the United States Coast Guard. Along with requesting a more aggressive tape, the Coast Guard also wanted to switch from black to a gray colored tape. The requirements were accomplished with the introduction of the new 3M Safety Walk 710 series tape in the color gray.

The new 710 series gray tape uses a larger mineral for the surface, creating more friction even in the wettest conditions. This is exactly what the Coast Guard needed. Available now for all Martinson-Nicholls customers, the 710 series tape comes in 24" X 30' rolls only. Martinson-Nicholls will cut pieces for its customers as well as die cut pieces in both long and short runs. This versatility makes Martinson-Nicholls unique among pressure sensitive, anti slip tape suppliers.

"Martinson-Nicholls began a history of supplying anti-slip tapes to the Coast Guard about 10 years ago through a ship builder named Bollinger's," quoted Dan Ruminski, president of Martinson-Nicholls.

Bollinger's of New Orleans, one of the world's largest shipbuilders, had the opportunity to build 50 Coast Guard Cutters. An anti-slip surface had to be created for the entire deck of the ship. The other criteria were easy replacement of worn or damaged material without taking the ship out of service.

Martinson-Nicholls went to New Orleans to create detailed engineered drawings of the ship's deck. An anti-slip surface was designed of custom cut pieces of the company's most aggressive, pressure sensitive, anti-slip tape. Complete ship sets were supplied.

The new 710 tape is also used to provide complete replacement sets to allow installation if a section is damaged while the ships are out to sea. The anti-slip tape's flexibility makes the surface more durable and easier to patch than the older, epoxy-and-grit systems formerly used by the ships.

The tape is also available for other anti-slip requirements in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
