SLIPNOT® Expansion Joint Covers
SLIP-RESISTANT
Expansion Joint Covers
Structural movement is inevitable in large industrial facilities, airports, and commercial complexes. The expansion joints designed to accommodate this movement often introduce a secondary hazard — a slick, dangerous walking surface. Standard aluminum or stainless steel plates become virtually frictionless when exposed to moisture, oil, or condensation.
SLIPNOT® expansion joint coating technology transforms these critical structural components into high-traction safety assets. By replacing smooth metal or degrading rubber inserts with a file-hard, bonded surface, facility managers ensure safety continuity across every square inch of the floor.

Preventing Slips at Critical Structural Gaps
OSHA 1910.22 requires that facilities keep all walking-working surfaces clean, dry, and hazard-free. When a standard cover becomes slick, it violates this core safety requirement. SLIPNOT safety expansion joint solutions correct this vulnerability. Our metal expansion joint slip-prevention technology ensures that the transition between concrete slabs provides the same reliable grip as the surrounding floor, regardless of environmental conditions.
Unmatched Surface Hardness
We use a plasma stream deposition method to bond molten metal directly to the steel, stainless steel, or aluminum substrate. This industrial expansion joint coating methodology creates a surface with a bond strength exceeding 4,000 PSI. The result is anti-slip expansion joint covers that do not flake or delaminate. The surface hardness registers between 55 and 63 on the Rockwell “C” scale. This “file-hard” matrix withstands the abrasion of heavy industrial traffic without losing its coefficient of friction.We manufacture durable anti-slip expansion joints in specific grades to match your application:
Grade 2 (Medium)
commercial environments, pedestrian traffic,
and light rolling loads.
Grade 3 (Course; Steel Only)
heavy manufacturing, extreme fluids,
and industrial equipment.
Refurbish and Retrofit Existing Joint Assemblies
Our team can apply slip-resistant expansion covers to your existing stock. We frequently upgrade assemblies originally manufactured by other vendors. If your facility utilizes expansion joints that have lost their traction, you can ship the cover plates to SLIPNOT®. We will apply our high-traction surface and return them for re-installation.
Proven Performance in High-Traffic Zones
Environments with constant rolling loads require a high-friction expansion joint application that resists impact. Hospitals moving gurneys, airports transporting heavy luggage, and stadiums managing crowds rely on smooth transitions that do not compromise grip.
SLIPNOT® surfaces are integral to the metal plate. This characteristic prevents the chipping often associated with aggregate-based coatings. The all-metal surface allows for easy cleaning and maintenance while enduring the compressive forces of forklifts and carts.
