Why is rubber granule anti-slip tape suitable for swimming pools?
For the rubber anti-slip tape specifically designed for swimming pools, combining EPDM particles with PET film is indeed a high-performance design combination that can effectively meet the demanding environmental requirements of wet, slippery, high-humidity, and sun-exposed pool edges.
The table below clearly illustrates the dual-layer structure design of this composite material and the respective advantages of each layer:
| structural layer | Main materials | Core characteristics and functions |
| Surface layer/Functional layer | EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) particles | It provides excellent anti-slip, elasticity, and weather resistance. The granular structure effectively increases friction on wet and slippery surfaces. The material itself is resistant to ultraviolet rays, ozone, and high and low temperatures (-50℃ to 130℃). It does not fade or crack after long-term outdoor use, making it highly suitable for swimming pool environments. |
| Base layer/carrier layer | PET (polyester) film | Provide a high-strength and stable substrate. PET film boasts excellent tensile strength, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance, offering a flat and sturdy backing for adhesive tapes. This ensures the overall tape is less prone to deformation and tearing, while enhancing its adhesion to the ground. |
Why is it suitable for swimming pools
This material combination brings multiple advantages to the swimming pool area:
◉ Anti-slip safety: The surface of EPDM particles can significantly increase the friction coefficient on wet or even splashed water surfaces, effectively preventing slips.
◉ Soft and comfortable: This tape is skin-friendly, allowing for barefoot walking, and is elastic. It is easy to install and clean.
◉ Strong environmental resistance: EPDM is resistant to chlorine water corrosion and UV rays, while PET film is waterproof and stable, jointly ensuring a long service life under the chemical environment of swimming pools and exposure to sunlight.
◉ Comfortable and Durable: The elasticity of EPDM can buffer foot pressure, while the overall material is wear-resistant and can withstand high-frequency trampling.
◉ Easy to install and maintain: Typically, it comes with a strong adhesive on the back (as mentioned), allowing it to be directly pasted onto clean and dry poolside surfaces (such as tiles or stone) like a large sticker. For daily maintenance, simply wipe it down with clean water or a neutral cleaner.
◉ widely used：Suitable for anti slip of stairs, steps, ramps, and floors in places such as kitchens, bathrooms, gyms, swimming pools, hospitals, and kindergartens.
