Minneapolise, Minnesota – AcroMat, a premiere manufacturer of anti-fatigue mats based in Minnesota, today announced the acquisition of non-slip coating GripCoteX from LiquiGuard Technologies. AcroMat is now the exclusive manufacturer of the non-slip backing, re-branding the product line to Grip-R Non-Slip Coating.
Grip-R is a water-based, eco-bio friendly non-slip coating precisely formulated to ensure anti-fatigue mats remain firmly in place and do not slide around – eliminating a common and dangerous slip, trip, and fall hazard.
"Our clients have relied on the non-slip benefits of GripCoteX for many years; when the opportunity arose, we were thrilled to acquire the product line," says Russell Herbert, General Manager. "Now as the exclusive manufacturer of Grip-R, making it here in our production facility, we can ensure our clients have unlimited access to the best non-slip backing on the market."

One in five safety and production leaders are dealing with anti-fatigue mats that slide around – a clear and preventable slip, trip, and fall hazard. The average slip, trip, and fall injury claim is $50,000 per injury, including 12 missed days of work.
Grip-R reduces the risk of slide-related fall injuries by being painted or rolled onto the bottom of your anti-fatigue mats, creating a firm bond between the floor and mat. Combined with the natural grip of our premium mat materials and the glove-like fit created by mats custom designed to fit, the collective outcome is improved health, safety, and productivity for fast-moving, long-standing employees.
Grip-R replaces double-sided tapes with a more effective and longer-lasting solution. Unlike tapes, Grip-R does not leave a sticky residue or transfer to the substrate.
Grip-R can be pre-applied to any AcroMat, or you can order the product by the container and apply (and re-apply) as needed. Visit the Grip-R product page to learn more, review the OSHA Safety Data Sheet, and see how the product works.
