ULTRAPOLY BRAXX
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
ULTRAPOLY BRAXX technology initially developed for the United States Navy has been scaled down for commercial use. New to the Ultra Non-Skid® family is BraxxTM permanent non-skid sheet. These non-skid technologies are a direct replacement for non-skid tapes and paints for industrial applications. The product has a wear and impact resistant baseplate of ultra high molecular polyethylene (UHMW-PE). The surface of the sheet is covered with raised non-skid truncated domes comprised of sand or slag. Not only is the product a tactile warning surface, it also has a contrasting color theme (dark on light or light on dark). BraxxTM is available in UV yellow with a black slag surface and blue with a white sand surface.
