Lifesafe Non-Skid Tape & Pads
Lifesafe Non-Skid Tape & Pads: Purpose-Built Traction for Any Surface
Slips and falls are among the most preventable accidents on the water, in the workshop, or around the home — and Lifesafe has made it their mission to close that gap with a focused line of high-performance non-skid tape and pads. Manufactured under the Incom Manufacturing family of safety products, Lifesafe brings a practical, no-nonsense approach to traction that has earned trust among boaters, RV enthusiasts, and DIYers alike.
Two Distinct Product Lines for Different Demands
What sets Lifesafe apart in the non-skid tape category is its two clearly differentiated product lines, each engineered for a specific type of traffic and environment.
- SoftTex Soft Textured Vinyl Traction Tape: The SoftTex tape works great in areas with light shoe traffic — including boat companionways, decks, shops, and the home — and features a deeply embossed surface designed to perform in heavy-duty applications. Critically, its deeply embossed surface is comfortable for barefoot traffic , making it an ideal choice for poolside areas, marine decks, and locker rooms where shoes are often off. The SoftTex line is available in multiple widths and roll lengths — including 1", 2", and 4" widths — and in colors such as white and gray to blend with or complement the surrounding surface.
- Gator Grip Anti-Slip Safety Grit Tape: The Lifesafe Gator Grip Anti-Slip Safety Grit Tape is an aggressive anti-slip tape that helps provide extra traction where slippery surface conditions may occur on boats, docks, floors, steps, and equipment. The Gator Grip adhesive system is designed for high initial tack and longevity, while offering better temperature, chemical, and UV resistance — qualities that matter enormously when tape is exposed to sun, saltwater, or temperature swings.
Where Lifesafe Non-Skid Tape Shines
Life Safe is the manufacturer of safety, maintenance, and repair tapes, with products providing specialty solutions that make life around the home, auto, workshop, and farm safer. In the marine world especially, Lifesafe tapes have become a go-to for upgrading slick factory surfaces. Lifesafe anti-slip safety tape is well suited for boats, RVs, and cabins — environments where reliable footing can be a genuine safety concern. Beyond marine use, the anti-slip safety grip tape provides extra traction where slippery surface conditions may occur, and is ideal for use on floor mats, steps, ramps, and loading docks.
Lifesafe tapes offer excellent wear and weather resistance for indoor or outdoor use , meaning a single product can serve double duty across seasons and environments without needing replacement. The peel-and-stick backing makes installation straightforward on virtually any clean, dry surface — no special tools or adhesive primers required for most applications.
Choosing the Right Lifesafe Non-Skid Solution
When selecting between Lifesafe's tape options, consider the type of foot traffic and footwear involved. The SoftTex vinyl line is the better pick for areas with frequent bare-foot contact, leisure use, or where a softer texture is preferred aesthetically. The Gator Grip grit tape is the right tool when maximum traction is non-negotiable — steep boat swim platforms, workshop ramps, or heavily trafficked steps where aggressive grip outweighs comfort concerns. Either way, Lifesafe's non-skid tape and pads offer a reliable, cost-effective path to safer surfaces wherever you need them most.
