I am looking for a non-slip and non-scratching material for curved and wet glass surfaces.
Vulcanized rubber can be a suitable material for preventing slipping on a wet glass floor without scratching the glass, but it depends on the specific conditions of use.
Vulcanized rubber has high friction and can provide good grip on wet surfaces, making it suitable for anti-slip applications. Additionally, it is a soft material that is less likely to scratch glass compared to harder materials such as metal or some plastics.
However, the effectiveness of rubber in preventing slipping on wet glass may depend on the texture of the rubber and the degree of wetness on the glass surface. Also, if the glass surface is highly polished, there may still be a risk of scratching, even with a softer material like rubber.
It may be worthwhile to test the specific type of vulcanized rubber in the specific conditions of use, to ensure that it provides the desired anti-slip properties without damaging the glass.
Thank you for the answer. Any idea how to specify rubber tread structure to increase grip? Febin Cherian John
Yes, there are a few ways to specify rubber tread structure to increase grip on wet surfaces:
By combining these factors, you can specify a rubber tread structure that is optimized for anti-slip performance on wet surfaces. However, it's important to test the specific tread design in the specific conditions of use to ensure it provides the desired level of grip without damaging the glass or causing other issues.
