anti-slip mat / rubber

Regupol® 9510 RHS plus can take higher loads than Regupol® 7012 LS plus. The maximum loading is 3.0 N/mm². It is used in many areas where conventional anti-slip mats based on SBR/NBR are not appropriate because of possible black discolouring.

Maximum loading
300 t/m² = 3.0 N/mm² when 8 mm thick

Sliding friction coefficient μD
Sheet 15 of Directive VDI 2700, define the minimum requirements for anti-slip mats’ friction coefficients. The Regupol® anti-slip mats easily exceed these minimum requirements by 15-50 % depending on the friction elements. Because the given circumstances are hard to calculate in practice (moisture, soiled load floor), a value of 0.6 μ should be the base for calculations (which is also recommended by sheet 15 of VDI 2700).

BSW does not publish any generalised uncommented sliding friction coefficients. The sliding friction coefficient of a friction-increasing surface depends on the combination of materials involved, the temperature, the condition of the material surfaces and the anti-slip mat (soiling, moisture, etc.). The contact surfaces of load and floor must be swept clean, grease-free and dry to achieve optimum non-slip properties.
