Algrip Slip-Resistant Safety Floor Plate
Fabrication
One of the great advantages of Algrip Slip-Resistant Floor Plate is that it can be easily fabricated into finished components using common metal working tools. The superior bond strength of the Algrip slip-resistant surface allows the plate to be fabricated by:
Punching & Drilling
When the plate must be removable, Algrip is easily punched or drilled to accommodate fastening devices or bolted installation.
Welding
Both the top traction surface and the bottom bearing surfaces can be easily welded without damaging the slip-resistant walking surface.
Forming
The excellent adhesion of the skid resistant deposits allow for clean forming of the plate without cracking or delaminating the traction surface.
Countersinking
Common metalworking tools can be used to countersink the Algrip substrate. Countersunk fastening eliminates potential tripping hazards created by protruding fastening devices.
Shearing
Algrip can be fabricated to size by economical mechanical shearing without cracking or damaging the safety providing traction surface.
Flame Cutting
Intricate or radial cuts are easily accomplished using oxygen-acetylene or plasma gas cutting tools.
Finishing & Maintenance
The durable base substrate of carbon steel Algrip and the inert properties of the slip-resistant custom alloy laser deposits readily accept traditional metal finishes without compromising the superior traction properties of the plate. Algrip products can easily be finished with paints or powder coating. Hot dip galvanizing can be accomplished without sandblasting or other expensive surface preparation. Aluminum and Stainless Steel products typically require no finishing after fabrication.
Maintenance concerns are limited to proper cleaning of dirt and debris from the flooring. With a combination of Algrip and proper housekeeping procedures you will continually place your employees on safe footing!
