The Maintenance Planner of the world’s largest processor and marketer of chicken, beef and pork, and the world’s second-largest food production company was looking to coat 1/2 “ x 12” x 12” stainless steel drain covers due to slip hazards in their cutting and processing areas. The slip hazards were due to fat and other slippery substances that are created from cutting and processing meat.

The poultry processor sent SLIPNOT two 1/2” thick x 12” wide by 12” long stainless steel drain covers to have coated with SLIPNOT non-slip surface technologies. The company could not pull all of their drain covers at once for coating so SLIPNOT recommended that they send two of their drain covers at a time.

They were interested in SLIPNOT products because they are NSF approved and exceed all requirements for coefficient of friction specified by ANSI, ASTM, ADA, NFPA, and OSHA. They also liked the fact that SLIPNOT specialized safety products and surface technologies are easily cleaned by standard methods such as power washing and brushing. Because SLIPNOT can either coat customer-supplied drain covers or provide customers with material that is custom formed in order to meet specific project requirements, they were a perfect fit for this job.

The two non-slip drain covers were re-installed and worked great in the poultry facility. SLIPNOT lasts years longer than painted-on, taped-on or other non-skid products, so these SLIPNOT slip-resistant drain covers will keep workers safe and increase productivity by reducing injury and liability for years to come. The company has utilized other SLIPNOT non-skid products, including mezzanines, crossovers, platforms, stair treads, and many other applications.
