Available Materials
Standard Alloys
Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, AluminumA36/Q235B/S235JR (comparable); 304/316 SS; 6061-T6/3003-H22

Mill-tested structural metals engineered for slip-resistant decking, steps, and machinery flooring. Carbon steel grades are comparable, not identical.

Two-Bar Pattern Geometry
Anti-Skid Profile
0.8 mm - 1.6 mm lug height35 mm x 35 mm center-to-center pitch array

Paired parallel raised lugs oriented perpendicular to adjacent pairs for omnidirectional slip resistance. Slip resistance confirmed per project; test methods such as DIN 51130 can be referenced.

Standard sheet sizes may be available; availability is confirmed at quotation. Tolerances are confirmed for each project and producing factory.

Weight & Density Index
Nominal Averages
27.5 – 52.3 kg/m² (Steel 1/8 – 1/4 in)Aluminum 1/8 in: ~9.8 kg/m² (2.01 lbs/ft²)

Total weight accounts for base plate thickness plus the volume of the two-bar raised pattern. Steel 1/8 in is ~5.63 lbs/ft²; 1/4 in is ~10.71 lbs/ft².

Protective Surface Finishes
Corrosion Defence
Hot-Dip Galvanized, Mill & Pickled, PrimersASTM A123 / ISO 1461 / GB/T 13912 (85 µm typical)

Surface treatments engineered for chemical washdown, atmospheric exposure, and severe industrial wear. Zinc phosphate shop primer, powder coating, or passivated stainless available.

Processing options can be coordinated through selected in-house production or partner factories, subject to project requirements and confirmation.
