Safety Step Composite Products

Safety Step anti-slip fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) products are manufactured entirely by hand in a unique multi-step fabrication process, then trimmed and cut to size. By incorporating the separate elements of the finished product into one seamless fiberglass composite material, we build the strongest and most durable product available on today’s market.  

A base mix of fire-retardant polyester resins is interspersed with layers of immensely strong interwoven glass fiber. The color pigment is floated throughout the full thickness of the material, ensuring the color never wears off or becomes unsightly. The fused alumina anti-slip grit is then forced under pressure into the base mix while it is still wet, followed by a final layer of resin over the top of it all. This entire composite mix is then cured at optimum temperatures until fully hard.

Competitor’s Coated Products

Other manufacturers adopt a layering or bonding method where a very thin layer of an anti-slip coating is bonded to a preformed base such as steel or pultruded material. The base material has no effect on the anti-slip quality of the product. Additionally, this method sets up a weak point where the two dissimilar components meet. This weak point will be further strained by stress set up within the product through movement associated with normal use or thermal expansion and contraction. Such a bonding method also has a low tolerance to impact and typically the top coating will peel away from damaged areas.
