Form-A-Tread improves stair safety and reduces maintenance

Form-A-Tread Regular Epoxy.jpg
April 14, 2022

To prevent slips and falls and improve safety on high traffic industrial stairs, Form-A-Tread Company offers a new category of durable high-tech epoxy paste called Form-A-Tread to ensure superior stair tread footing and visibility for years without re-application, instead of short-lived, high-maintenance tapes or coatings.

The durable epoxy paste consists of 100% solids that, once applied, can last for years in high traffic areas. The patented product provides an extremely strong bond to a range of stair tread surfaces, with embedded aggregate to increase traction. It can be used indoors/outdoors and exposed to chemicals, weather, and temperature extremes.

The high strength epoxy paste is designed to be easy to apply to stair treads by even untrained personnel. Form-A-Tread’s kit includes a 400 ml cartridge of material that can produce 25 to 40 linear feet of one-inch-wide tread depending on the surface type. A special tool is then used to dispense and mix the material at the time of application in the correct ratio – eliminating the risk of human error.

The kit includes a patent pending stencil system, so the one-inch-wide tread lines remain clean, neat, and parallel. In addition to straight line treads, instructions such as “Exit Here” or a corporate logo can be applied using the material and a stencil.

For added safety, the 100% epoxy tread line does not shrink and so provides a superior tactile sensation that creates greater awareness of footing when climbing or descending stairs.

For more information: Call 610-994-2138; Email info@rgfmaterials.com; Visit https://form-a-tread.com.
