FindTape HGT Handrail Grip Tape: 4 in x 60 ft. (Black)

FindTape HGT Handrail Grip Tape is a non-abrasive anti-slip tape which also prevents cold temperatures from transferring to the handrail user. The plastic material used in the grip tape is an excellent insulator and helps to make sure your surface conforms to regulations requiring that handrail surfaces not be cold to the touch. To further reduce the chances of the grip tape being cold, a base of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is added to serve as an exceptional barrier from the cold.

The grip for FindTape HGT has a rubber-like finish and features dimples to increase the users hold onto the surface. The non-abrasive finish gives this a gentle feel to ensure it is comfortable and is easy to clean. The material will not retain water which helps to prevent surface freezing. This tape can be used for indoor or outdoor handrails.

Application Instructions

There are various methods of application. Before applying the tape, ensure that the surface is dry, clean, and residue-free. The following are three ways the tape can be applied.

Tight Spiral Application

The application does not require pre-cutting a length of the tape. This application ensures great rail coverage and provides for better adhesion than a horizontal application because allows for more surface area of the railing for the tape to adhere to.

Spaced Spiral Application

This application is a cost-saving application that only covers part of the railing but still allows a strong and holdable grip. The spaced application is only recommended for indoor areas since some of the railing will be visible.

Horizontal Application

This application is used when applied lengthways along the railing then wrapped around to meet around the railing. This method is good to use for long railings that have no support or minimal support bars joining the through the middle; however, it will not adhere as well as a tight spiral application.

NOTES: As with any adhesive tape product it is always the user’s responsibility to determine that the product is suitable for their intended use; e.g. if you want to remove a product cleanly from a specific type of substrate please test on an inconspicuous area first.
