Thermal welded anti-slip sheet 'Logging Grip' for steel materials such as manhole covers.

There are various types of non-slip grating covers, and while those with bumps can be effective as anti-slip measures for soft rubber footwear, they can be very dangerous for hard-soled shoes (like sports shoes or leather shoes) because they do not grip the bumps well, resulting in a smaller contact area that actually promotes slipping. Currently, the only truly effective non-slip grating features ribs shaped like a Y (or a wine glass) with embedded aggregates, but these are quite expensive and not commonly used. Therefore, please make use of our grating anti-slip solutions.

We have received designation for the slip-resistant method and factory for sidewalk manhole covers in Kawachinagano City, Osaka Prefecture. The slip resistance value testing method is based on "Pavement Testing Method Handbook 6-5 Measurement of Slip Resistance of Pavement Surfaces Using a Pendulum-Type Skid Resistance Tester," and the average slip resistance value (BPN) measured in wet conditions is 64.

November 2007 Anti-slip processing was carried out on the checker plate cover of the slope walkway next to the parking lot of Izumi City Hall in Osaka Prefecture using Slip Rate Sigma 01. The checker plate, which was installed in a sloped manner at the step between the sidewalk and the road, had been causing numerous falls on rainy days, so Slip Rate Sigma 01 (aggregate TKB) was adopted as a countermeasure against falls, leading to the construction. Generally, checker plates are said to be non-slip types, but the patterned surface is effective as an anti-slip measure only for soft rubber footwear. For hard-soled shoes (sports shoes, leather shoes), the pattern does not grip, and conversely, the reduced contact area promotes slipping, making it very dangerous. Therefore, our Slip Rate Sigma 01 was adopted for the anti-slip treatment.

In various locations on the main arterial roads in the Nakaku and Minami wards of Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, anti-slip processing has been carried out on manhole covers using Slip Rate Sigma 01. In Sakai City, it has been noted that there is a possibility of accidents involving falls from motorcycles and bicycles at intersections where general roads enter from main roads. As a countermeasure to prevent these falls, Slip Rate Sigma 01 (aggregate TKB) has been adopted and implemented.
