In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate
Superior safety and increased pedestrian comfort.

 

While these durable steel substrates provide a solid foundation for the finished product, substrate strength is only the beginning! The true life-cycle of safety floor plates is traditionally determined not by the substrate, but rather slip-resistant properties generated by the traction surface. The traction providing laser depositions on In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate have been tested for hardness and adherence by independent testing laboratories and these results assure that this generation of flooring will provide unsurpassed service life.
Laboratory analysis has measured the hardness of In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate traction providing custom alloy laser depositions at up to 60 on the Rockwell C Scale. Under the heaviest pedestrian or vehicular traffic, these deposits will provide continuous, safe, effective service. (Be reminded, that similar to all abrasive surface steel safety floor plates, In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate should not be installed in areas subject to steel-wheeled vehicular traffic.) The cross-sectional photograph above illustrates the deep penetration of the symmetrical laser deposition into the steel substrate. Laboratory tested, the deposition penetrates the steel substrate and is enclosed by a strengthened heat affected zone. The resulting bond strength combined with the proven deposition hardness provides unsurpassed durability regardless of wear or abrasion.
One of the greatest advantages of In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate is that it can be easily manufactured into finished components using common metal working tools & techniques.
Punching & Drilling Welding Forming In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate is easily punched or drilled to accommodate fastening devices or bolted installations where the plate is required to be removable. Both the top traction surface and the bottom bearing surfaces can be easily welded without damaging the slip-resistant walking surface. The excellent adhesion of the skid resistant deposits allow for clean forming of the plate without cracking or delaminating the traction surface.       Countersinking Shearing Flame Cutting Common metalworking tools can be used to countersink the In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate steel substrate. Countersunk fastening eliminates potential tripping hazards created by protruding fastening devices. In-the-Metal Slip Resistant Steel Floor Plate can be fabricated to size by economical mechanical shearing without cracking or damaging the safety providing traction surface. Intricate or radial cuts are easily accomplished using common oxygen-acetylene or plasma gas cutting tools.
