Why Choose Antislip Stair Nosings over Antislip tapes?

Antislip Stair Nosings

(Email us here) How to Measure Antislip Stair Nosing

Choosing between anti-slip stair nosings and anti-slip tapes depends on various factors such as durability, effectiveness, aesthetics, and ease of installation. Here are several reasons why one might opt for anti-slip stair nosings over anti-slip tapes:

  • Durability: Stair nosings are typically made of robust materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or fiberglass, designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, impacts, and environmental factors. They are more durable than adhesive tapes, which can wear out, peel off, or degrade over time, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Permanent Installation: Stair nosings are permanently installed on the edge of stairs, providing a long-lasting solution for slip prevention. Once installed, they remain securely in place, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement compared to adhesive tapes, which may require periodic reapplication or replacement.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Stair nosings often feature contrasting colors or reflective strips, improving visibility and reducing the risk of trips and falls, especially in low-light conditions or areas with poor visibility. This enhanced visibility is particularly crucial for safety compliance and accessibility in public buildings or workplaces.
  • Uniform Appearance: Stair nosings offer a uniform appearance across staircases, providing a cohesive and professional look to the environment. They can be customized to match the decor or color scheme of the surroundings, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the staircase.
  • Greater Coverage: Stair nosings cover the entire leading edge of the stairs, offering comprehensive protection against slips and falls. In contrast, anti-slip tapes may provide limited coverage and may not effectively cover the entire tread surface, leaving gaps where slips can still occur.
  • Code Compliance: In some jurisdictions, building codes or regulations may require the installation of anti-slip stair nosings in certain public or commercial buildings to ensure compliance with safety standards. Stair nosings that meet specific regulatory requirements offer assurance that the installation meets legal obligations for safety.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Stair nosings are relatively easy to clean and maintain, requiring simple routine cleaning to remove dirt, debris, or other contaminants. In comparison, adhesive tapes may trap dirt or become dislodged, requiring more frequent cleaning and maintenance to ensure effectiveness.

While anti-slip tapes may offer a cost-effective temporary solution for slip prevention on stairs, anti-slip stair nosings provide a more durable, permanent, and aesthetically pleasing option for long-term safety and compliance in commercial, industrial, and public environments.

Magnalube – Grease Lubricants, High Temperature Grease, Waterproof Grease

Magnalube - Grease Lubricants, High Temperature Grease, Waterproof Grease

Magnalube-G PTFE Grease is a high-temp grease that will outlast conventional grease lubricants.

Key Features:

  1. Maintenance-Free Manufacturing
    • Magnalube-G regularly lasts for 10+ year intervals in sealed-for-life applications due to the extremely long operating life of the Elastomer-PTFE gelling agent and premium paraffinic mineral base oil.
  2. Excellent Thermal Stability:
    • High temperature range is better, or equivalent to, other high-temp greases; however, Magnalube-G has excellent thermal stability, so its performance is constant from very low temperatures (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) to very high temperatures (+530 degrees Fahrenheit).
  3. Waterproof Grease with Excellent Corrosion Control
    • Magnalube-G contains no metals and is still able to outperform traditional soap-based greases, such as lithium grease.
    • Its unique Elastomer-PTFE gelling agent maintains superior lubricating properties, while preventing the electro-chemical reactions necessary for corrosion to occur.
  4. High Mechanical Stability
    • Magnalube-G is an industry-leading product when consistent performance is required over an extended period of time. Many types of grease will change consistency when they are subjected to various forces during service, but Magnalube-G will not soften, or harden, like traditional greases in many applications.
  5. High Dielectric Strength
    • Electric and magnetic fields can dramatically impact the performance of grease lubricants. Magnalube-G, however, is non-conductive and has a high dielectric strength. The grease was designed to perform well as a lubricant first, but maintain similar dielectric properties as competing silicone greases.
  6. Extra protection
    • Magnalube-G PTFE Grease deposits a fine film on surfaces that forms a protective and lubricating bond to improve performance over time. This can be extremely useful in applications where the external elements in the field cannot always be controlled, such as a high temperature spike or extreme weather conditions.
  7. PERMITS HIGHER LOADS THAN THOSE CONSIDERED SAFE FOR STANDARD PETROLEUM BASED LUBRICATING GREASES
    • The extreme pressure additives and micro particles of PTFE suspended in Magnalube-G guarantee continued performance on equipment operating under high loads. This unique blend of boundary lubrication solids can handle 10,000 lbs. per square inch of pressure in their pure powder form, and will not squeeze out of critical locations when extreme pressure is applied.
  8. WILL NOT MIGRATE AND IS RESISTANT TO OIL SEPARATION
    • Magnalube-G stays were you put it. The use of an elastomer/PTFE thickener results in a uniquely resilient grease that binds to surfaces without sacrificing the lower coefficient of friction and abnormally high viscosity associated with adding standard tackifying agents. The synthetic, sponge-like texture of Magnalube-G’s thickener will preserve the base oils far better than standard, soap-based greases like lithium. This means you can reduce the risk of contamination, and you can count on having lubrication when you need it.

Magnalube GX

Magnalube-GX Moly Grease is a high-temp PTFE grease that will protect better than conventional lithium grease.

ENERGY AND COST SAVING FEATURES

1. PERMITS EXTREME LOADS WITH SMOOTHER OPERATION AND EXTENDED PROTECTION

  • The molecularly bound MOLY-PTFE solids bond to surfaces and form a protective layer with one of the lowest coefficients of friction on earth.While the blend lubricates, the molybdenum itself can withstand pressures of up to 500,000 pounds per square inch in its solid state,resulting in superior extreme load protection.

2. PERFECT FOR LOW SPEEDS, VIBRATION CONTROL, AND NOISE REDUCTION

  • Unlike hydrodynamic lubrication, where high-speeds help form a lubricating wedge, slow speeds require the addition of lubricating solids like our MOLY-PTFE blend. This advanced boundary lubrication additive makes Magnalube-GX perfect for all low speed, extreme pressure applications. In addition, these solids help absorb vibration and reduce noise.

3. STABLE IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES FOR MAXIMUM RELIABILITY

  • Magnalube-GX has a dropping point of 550 Fahrenheit, and the added protection of molybdenum disulfide that will withstand temperatures up to 750°F. This feature provides extra protection for your equipment if the grease is overheated or if a regularly scheduled lubrication interval is missed.

4. MECHANICALLY/CHEMICALLY STABLE WITH EXCEPTIONAL FILM STRENGTH

  • Magnalube-GX has polymer additives to enhance tackiness, and film strength so that the grease stays where you put it, and provides maximum protection over time. The grease is designed not to splatter or get pressed out when pressure is applied, and will provide maximum protection against shock loads.

5. RESISTANCE TO WATER PREVENTS RUST AND CORROSION

  • Magnalube-GX forms a lubricating film that resists water and other liquid contamination. In addition to proprietary, anti-corrosion polymers the PTFE in the grease forms a protective film that prevents the chemical reaction necessary for rust and corrosion to occur.

6. EXTRA PROTECTION

  • Magnalube-G PTFE Grease deposits a fine film on surfaces that forms a protective and lubricating bond to improve performance over time. This can be extremely useful in applications where the external elements in the field cannot always be controlled, such as a high temperature spike or extreme weather conditions.
