3M Safety-Walk Slip-Resistant Fine Resilient Tapes 220 Clear

Slip-Resistant Vinyl Tape for Wet, Barefoot-Traffic Areas
OSHA & ADA Compliant | ASTM Tested

The 3M™ Safety-Walk™ Clear Fine Resilient Tape 220 is specially engineered for wet, barefoot traffic areas where both traction and aesthetics are essential. Made with a non-mineral, fine-textured vinyl surface, this transparent anti-slip tape provides effective slip resistance while remaining comfortable under bare feet and visually unobtrusive.

Its water-resistant acrylate adhesive ensures strong, durable bonding to most surfaces — even in moist or humid environments — making it ideal for areas like pool decks, showers, spas, boats, and changing rooms. The clear, low-profile design allows for seamless integration into various surface types without altering their appearance.

🌟 Key Features

• 🩴 Designed for Barefoot Use – Fine, soft texture provides safe traction without discomfort

• 💧 Water-Resistant Adhesive – High-performance acrylate adhesive performs well in wet conditions

• 👀 Clear & Discreet Appearance – Maintains surface visibility and aesthetics

• 🔒 Strong Adhesion – Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing with removable liner for easy application

• ✅ OSHA & ADA Compliant – Meets safety and accessibility standards; ASTM tested

✅ Recommended Applications

• Swimming pool decks and aquatic centres

• Showers and locker rooms

• Spas and saunas

• Boats, marine decks, and dock areas

• Barefoot zones in hospitality or residential settings

✅ Installation Temperature

• Recommended surface and ambient temperature: 4°C to 38°C (40°F to 100°F)

✅ Application Steps

1. Surface Preparation

   • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free of oil or contaminants

   • Use a degreaser or isopropyl alcohol for cleaning

   • For rough or porous surfaces, apply a primer (e.g., 3M™ Primer 94) to improve adhesion

2. Cutting the Tape

   • Cut the tape to the required length

   • Round the corners to minimize edge lifting

3. Applying the Tape

   • Peel back part of the release liner and position the tape

   • Gradually remove the liner while pressing the tape firmly onto the surface

   • Apply firm, even pressure across the tape as you go

4. Use a Roller for Bonding

   • Use a rubber hand roller to press the tape down

   • Start from the center and roll outward to ensure full contact and remove air bubbles

5. Edge Sealing (Optional but Recommended)

   • For extra durability and water resistance, apply 3M™ Edge Sealer along the tape edges

✅ Curing Time

• Full bond strength develops in 24–48 hours

• Avoid heavy traffic during this time

✅ Maintenance

• Clean with mild detergents and water

• Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the adhesive

• Inspect regularly for wear or lifting and replace as needed
