Self-adhesive Anti-slip Tape 3M Safety-Walk Universal 610, 25 mm x 18.30 m, black

3M Safety-Walk Universal 610 is a self-adhesive anti-slip tape supplied on a roll 25 mm wide and 18.30 m long in black. It is formulated to increase traction on stairs, ramps, walkways and other walking surfaces by providing a textured, slip-resistant surface that adheres to clean, dry substrates. The tape is designed for straightforward cutting to length and peel-and-stick application, offering a practical solution for localized slip-resistance needs in homes, workplaces and public buildings.

Advantages

The tape combines a durable, slip-resistant surface with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for quick installation without special tools. Its narrow 25 mm width allows precise placement along stair nosings, edges and narrow paths. Available on an 18.30 m roll, it provides material for multiple applications and repairs. The black finish offers a discreet, low-contrast appearance on many floor types while remaining effective in improving underfoot grip.

Suitable for

• Improving traction on indoor stairs and stair nosings
• Adding slip resistance to ramps and inclined walkways
• Providing safer surfaces on metal, wood, concrete and many painted floors
• Local repairs and preventive safety measures in homes, offices and light industrial areas

When it may not be suitable

This tape is intended for use on clean, dry substrates; it may not adhere properly to heavily contaminated, oily or very uneven surfaces. Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor weather or immersion in water can reduce adhesive performance and abrasive surface life, so it is not recommended for continuously submerged or high-weather-exposure exterior installations.

Key specifications

• Width: 25 mm
• Length on roll: 18.30 m
• Color: black
• Format: self-adhesive roll
• Surface type: textured anti-slip
• Intended installation: peel-and-stick on clean, dry substrates

How to use

Prepare the surface by cleaning thoroughly and ensuring it is dry and free of oil, dust and loose material. Cut the tape to the required length, peel away the backing, align the tape on the chosen area and press firmly along the length to ensure full contact. For best adhesion, apply pressure with a roller or firm hand pressure and avoid traffic for several hours to allow the adhesive to bond. When removing, lift a corner and pull back slowly; residual adhesive may be cleaned with a suitable solvent following manufacturer guidance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm substrate compatibility and ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application
• Assess expected foot traffic, moisture exposure and outdoor weathering for lifespan expectations
• Measure required lengths and consider the 25 mm width for coverage planning

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, store the roll in a dry environment at moderate temperature prior to installation, and install at temperatures recommended for pressure-sensitive adhesives (typically above freezing). For high-moisture or heavy outdoor exposure areas, consider periodic inspection and replacement intervals to maintain slip resistance.
