Taping - Import export

Steel tape works in partnership with supamag® magnetic tape by providing a receptive surface to which flexible magnetic material such as supamag® magnetic tape can be applied. This approach is commonly used in industries that utilise imagery, signage or informative displays such as retail or warehousing to magnetically mount printed media. By using corresponding widths of steel tape and magnetic tape the receptive surface to which the magnetic tape is applied is discreetly hidden away behind the mounted media or signage. Once the steel tape has been aligned and mounted to a surface printed graphics or signage to which magnetic tape has been applied can quickly be installed with no effort.

Flexible in nature and application, supamag® magnetic tape is used across many industries for mounting material or items directly to steel or other ferrous surfaces. Where a ferrous surface is not present, supamag® magnetic tape can be used in conjunction with our adhesive-backed steel tape to provide a surface to which the magnetic tape will grip. Typical applications include magnetically mounting printed media or signage that can be changed quickly and easily. We can bond a range of adhesives to the non-magnetic face of the tape to suit the intended application. For more information please visit the adhesives page. All of our supamag® magnetic tape is UV coated on the magnetic face as standard, preventing the tape from marking the media or product to which it is applied as well as the individual handling the tape. This is especially useful to the print industry where it reduces the need to reprint due to printed media becoming marked and unusable.

Printed Anti Slip Warning Tape is something that we receive many requests for. Many customers commonly want to make a hazardous area not only safe for foot traffic but also prominently highlighted as a risk area; most customers prefer to do this by warning text. As a bespoke print onto safety-grip requires certain minimum order quantities, we decided that the best way to stop disappointing clients would be to create a standard print that would cover most of the requests which we receive; we now have two standard prints on rolls and two on cut pieces.

H6902 printed ESD (electrostatic discharge) floor marking material using the qualities of PermaRoute to make a high definition, industry-specific, printed floor marking material. Utilising the construction of PermaRoute means this material will hold fast, whilst displaying an important message for the area it is intended for.

Durbar plate, chequer plate, diamond tread are all commonly used, you can see them almost everywhere for fire exits, walkways, access platforms etc. It is a common misconception that the pattern provides a safe surface to walk on, unfortunately, this is not correct. Durbar plate is an extremely slippy surface, metal does not easily provide a non-slip floor (its hard surface does not attract grip) and the pattern often creates more problems than it solves (the rises result in less surface area for footwear). Many government safety websites warn of the risk of using durbar type plate in critical areas. Conformable Safety-Grip tape is the answer to the problems that irregular metal plates create. Durbar plate was previously impossible to coat with a non slip surface, a conventional non slip tape would rise up when stretched into the valleys.

H3409 bolt down, anti-slip plates are an ideal solution for application in areas where Safety-Grip tape is not suitable i.e constantly wet, loose or uneven surfaces, such as external wooden surfaces like decking. Bolt down anti-slip plates are manufactured specifically for these purposes, with countersunk eyelets for easy application, and can be fitted using screws, nails or clips.

Heskins anti-slip fire exit markers have been developed and produced to offer a faster, more efficient way of creating a clear zone and prominent signage for your fire exits. Compared to stencilling, masking and painting, with waits in between for drying times, Heskins alter¬native, fire exit floor markings,¬ is a one-piece, adhesive appli¬cation, that takes literally minutes to apply, and can be used immediately, complete with an industry-standard anti-slip surface.

Commonly found chemicals such as water, soap solutions or many others do not pose any harm, even occasional exposure to certain petrochemicals or harsher cleaning does not affect the material. In certain, and very rare, situations the anti-slip tape could be completely submerged under a liquid that is extremely aggressive. Some of our customers use problematic solutions; these could include high concentration MEK, toluene, acids, alkalis etc. For almost all applications our conventional Safety-Grip range performs brilliantly. In a small number of applications one of two situations can cause problems; 1. Chemical retention In this situation mild chemicals such as basic cleaning agents mixed with water and are trapped on the surface on the anti-slip tape with no way of escaping, the fluids form a reservoir and with no form of dissipation, over time, they can damage the resins that hold the minerals onto the plastic film.

Mild abrasive Safety-Grip tape features the mildest anti-slip coating we have ever manufactured. While still having 100% coverage, the granules applied to the surface are far smaller than others in our range. This results in low peak to valley measurement, which is beneficial and more desirable in some applications.

Our current crop of anti-slip materials are strong enough to withstand industrial use and more, but for a long time, we have had various customers asking us to produce very thick anti-slip materials for their application requirements, but achieving this has always created many production obstacles. In early 2015, we made the decision to produce very thick anti-slip tape measuring 2mm in depth! This has involved us modifying the necessary production machinery to be able to handle the additional thickness this material has, investing in a new range of crush cut blade holders to ensure we can create our thick Safety-Grip products to the same level of consistent quality as with our current range of anti-slip tapes.

H3460 marine anti slip tape is one of Heskins first marine specific products, tailor-made to be used on the open seas, on anything from pleasure crafts, to competitive boats and commercial vessels. Marine anti slip tape is the first product to be 100% guaranteed salt resistant. We felt it necessary to have this feature due to the long amounts of time this will be applied on a vessel out in the open sea, as while we and others have previously used Safety-Grip™ and our non-abrasives, with the exception of our chemical resistant Safety-Grip™, we could not guarantee full salt resistance. With a salt-resistant marine anti slip tape, we can safely guarantee that, subject to correct application on to a clean, dry surface, the service life will be exceptional. For additional guarantees, our ancillaries will only help prolong the life span of the material.

Adding a thicker backing liner to our anti-slip tape reduces the chance of creases and air pockets during large sheet application, resulting in a more hassle-free application and a better finish.

H3402NUC X-Coarse uses a rare and very big type of aluminium oxide granule. The grit is so heavy that it requires a special plastic film to be able to carry it without splitting. The plastic film is coated with a high tack adhesive (HG), the adhesive is designed to adhere to often difficult substrates such as low energy powder coat that are notoriously problematic for normal adhesives.

The grit is still the same substance, aluminium oxide; but the difference is the grit granules are larger with deeper valleys and higher peaks. A deep anti-slip coating helps to prevent clogging with dirt, dust, ice etc. A deeper grit provides great durability.

H3401 standard anti slip tape is made from a fine grade aluminium oxide, which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of appli­cations. The grit is a medium anti-slip abrasive coating.­ Our standard Safety-Grip is great for general anti-slip requirements possessing excellent levels of grip (measured as Coefficient of Friction). Safety-Grip is water resistant (if applied onto a non-porous surface, we do also offer a complete range of ancillaries) and has exceptional durability in external or internal areas.

Our High Temperature Tapes are perfect for all kinds of masking uses during processes which regularly use a lot of heat, examples of these processes includes Powder Coating where powder is sprayed on as a coating before being baked on to an application for a permanent finish. Coming in a huge number of variations including Ultra high temperature & Low tack adhesives, you can rest assured that we have the best choice for you. As mainly film based products, these High Temperature Tapes are malleable and flexible meaning that they can be used for tricky areas where there are many sharp corners.Discs are also available which can be used to seal off and prevent small holes such as screw holes from becoming filled during the coating process. For our full selection of Powder Coating Tapes / High Temperature Tapes please visit our website using the link below. Free sample lengths are available on all our tapes meaning you can try before you buy.

Tape and reel specification for all CXSM SMD crystals.

We offer a range of double sided, high tack, pressure sensitive, solvent acrylic adhesives, including foam adhesive for use on uneven surfaces or where shock absorption is required. tesa® adhesives and our own adhesives are immediately usable, temperature resistant, provide high shear resistance and contain plasticiser barriers to maintain performance. We have the ability to bond adhesive to flexible magnetic sheet, flexible magnetic extrusion, flexible ferrous sheet and steel tape to your specification. The choice of adhesive will usually be dependant upon the intended application for the finished product. In addition to the branded adhesives supplied by tesa® we also offer our own adhesives as an alternative option.

As a reflective tape with extremely high and focused retroreflective values, microprismatic tape is an exceptional choice for application to objects, static or moving that require high visibility at all times. Microprismatics high-performance levels can be attributed to the micro-engineered 3 point prisms that cover the entirety of its surface. These prisms reflect the light in a way that returns 80% of the light back at the source. Due to the cone of light being more concentrated, it is a much more effective reflective tape that increases safety and ensures visibility of whatever it is applied to.

Egress glow in the dark hazard marking tape is a further development of our plain colour Egress tape. One slight disadvantage of a conventional photoluminescent egress tape is that the plain colour is not the most vivid, during daylight it is a conventional mild green colour. With the modification of creating black chevrons running at 45° angles throughout the length of the material it then effectively creates a much more visible product that is far more noticeable. During either natural or artificial lighting, photoluminescent hazard tape has a mild green shade yet when the lights go out it glows bright green. The black chevrons do not glow and remain the same colour in any lighting situation. Egress hazard tape is perfect for applying on stairs, walkways, access areas, exits etc.

Anti-slip that can be applied in awkward shaped rooms, or even on ledges or steps that are prone to low light conditions, helping to guide people safely, preventing mis-steps, falls and injuries. By piecing dual-purpose anti-slip tiles together, you can achieve efficient slip prevention, without having to cover the entire surface. If you would like to enquire or order, please contact the sales team by phone, Live Chat or the contact us form on the website.

The hazard stripe warns of potential dangers, while the glow in the dark strip helps during low light conditions. By orientating the dual purpose anti-slip tile, you can achieve maximum efficiency and safety. Applying these non-slip floor tiles on ledges or steps helps to pronounce the existence of the ledge or step, helping people stay safe, even in low light conditions. If you would like to enquire or order, please contact the sales team by phone, Live Chat or the contact us form on the website.

Our H8101C glow in the dark directional tape is a chevron patterned photoluminescent egress tape with excellent glow in the dark properties. The product has endless applications but the directional arrow markings combined with the glow in the dark properties can highlight exits, egress points, access routes and provide guidance down walkways and towards the aforementioned areas. The directional egress tape produced is a midway point between our standard egress and high-quality egress marking tape in terms of glow performance. The photoluminescent standards are excellent providing approximately 4~6 hours of glow based on a standard charge. This allows us to provide another level of glow in the dark tape, in terms of performance and price.

Egress tape is the term used to describe a smooth photoluminescent (glow in the dark) marking tape. Photoluminescent tape is constructed from a conventional self-adhesive plastic base film impregnated with photoluminescent powder. The material is charged by natural or artificial lights when the lights dim the product instantly displays a bright light.

Glow Line is an ingenious product, we use our photoluminescent Egress tape as the centre line then surround that by our black standard safety-grip coating, as we use a thinner line of Egress tape this lowers our production costs as we use less of the precious photoluminescent product. The centre glow in the dark stripe is 10mm wide, with the black either side being 20mm each making the entire width a very popular 50mm. The use of two contrasting colours creates a highly visible effect, perfect for highlighting. Other widths and stripe formats can be offered but we would need to discuss MOQs ( Minimum Order Quantities ) to realise this.

Our first non-abrasive glow in the dark antislip tape has benefitted from new technology that allows us to prolong the luminance of our material, meaning it will stay brighter in a lights out situation, for longer. High-quality glow in the dark antislip tape is the first in new, unique innovations in our photoluminescent products. High-quality glow in the dark antislip tape is suitable for many applications, particularly for internal areas such as stairways and walkways which are used as specific exit routes, wherein a lights out situation, the exit is clearly indicated, even from rooms higher up in a building.

Glow in the dark hazard anti slip tape is a simple variation of our glow in the dark antislip tape. Printed chevrons on top give an extended purpose in allowing it to serve as a warning tape in any lighting condition also. Afterglow performance is highly visible due to two levels of photoluminescent coating: • The plastic liner is photoluminescent. • The flexible resin that allows the grit to hold

Heskins first produced (photoluminescent) glow in the dark antislip tape in 1998. Back then we thought it was novel and would be of limited interest, there was nothing else similar. How wrong we were, it is now a very popular material. To ensure that our glow in the dark grip tape is highly visible and effective it possesses two separate levels of photoluminescent coatings.

Heskins welcome heavy-duty bonding tape to its already vast range. This wonderful creation is a double tape used to bond or mount materials together. This is fashioned from a durable acrylic foam, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, both of which are solvent-free, which is applied to both sides. This generates a solid bond before reaching full adhesion in roughly three days.
