SLIP-RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR THE
Metal and Mining Industry
Mining and metal processing environments are among the harshest, where constant abrasion, heavy loads, and impact destroy conventional materials. SLIPNOT® delivers coating technology that withstands the combination of heavy-impact abrasion, constant heavy vehicle traffic, and corrosive chemical exposure. Discover how we meet your industry’s tough demands while supporting your productivity and compliance requirements.

The Importance of Preventing Slips and Falls at the Jobsite
Implementing measures to help prevent slip-and-fall incidents protects your workforce and preserves operational continuity. The benefits of proactive safety measures include:
- Protected worker safety
- Maintained productivity
- Strengthened safety record
- Reduced liability
- Retained skilled workforce
Heavy-Duty Applications for Metal and Mining
SLIPNOT® products are highly versatile to meet the requirements of new structures and existing surfaces. Find out how we deliver targeted safety upgrades to your industry:
- Slip-resistant truck bridge steel plates: Weigh stations and vehicle bridges rely on surfaces that withstand extreme point loads and the abrasive wear of heavy truck tires. SLIPNOT® provides consistent traction in rain, mud, or icy conditions for an all-weather performance.
- Non-slip mining conveyor walkways: Keep areas alongside, beneath, and over conveyor systems protected from moisture and debris. The high resistance of the SLIPNOT® coating to falling aggregate, coal, and ore helps prevent accidents that would otherwise occur on hazardous walking surfaces.
- Non-skid solutions for metal fabrication: Improve slip resistance on metal factory work platforms and around machinery where coolants and metal shavings are present. Our slip-resistant coating withstands constant exposure to cutting fluids and other lubricants.
- Mining factory flooring solution: SLIPNOT® offers a superior nonskid coating that handles wet, oily, and abrasive surfaces. We offer comprehensive flooring solutions for processing plant floors, elevated catwalks, stair treads, mezzanines, and trench covers.
A Non-Skid Surface for Metal Fabrication and Mining Operations
Standard steel, diamond plate, and light-weight coatings are not built for this level of use. They quickly wear down, corrode, and fail, creating dangerous slip hazards and requiring constant, costly replacement.
Since flooring failure is an unacceptable risk that directly impacts productivity and compliance, you need a solution that keeps your operations running smoothly. SLIPNOT® is a smart capital investment for the safety and productivity of your metal and mining facilities.

SLIPNOT® for Superior Durability
SLIPNOT® delivers premium metal safety flooring solutions that reduce recurring labor and material costs associated with repairing or replacing temporary fixes. Unlike a stamped diamond pattern that quickly wears smooth, our nonskid coating has a consistent, file-like peak-and-valley structure. Our advanced anti-slip technology meets and exceeds OSHA and ANSI requirements for the coefficient of friction (COF).
The patented process creates a file-hard surface that resists extreme abrasion from rock, metal, and heavy machinery. Invest in SLIPNOT® products to help prevent chipping or delaminating in industrial flooring for mining and metal factories.
