3M 7100173293 Safety-walk Step Ladder Tread 2x180 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100173293 is a black anti-slip step and ladder tread supplied in a continuous roll measuring 2 inches wide by 180 inches long. Designed for high-traffic tread surfaces on steps, ladders, and platforms, it provides a durable abrasive walking surface that helps reduce slip hazards in both industrial and commercial environments. The aggressive grit surface bonds to the step face to deliver consistent grip underfoot. Installers in facilities maintenance, construction, and trade service work apply this tread to metal, wood, and fiberglass surfaces wherever fall protection on elevated work surfaces is required.

This tread roll is suited for residential and commercial applications including job-site ladders, stair nosings, dock plates, and scaffolding steps. The 2-inch width targets standard ladder rungs and narrow step edges. Sold by the roll, it allows installers to cut sections to length on site, reducing waste and accommodating varying step dimensions without requiring pre-cut pieces.

Key Features

• Continuous 180-inch roll allows field-cut sections to match any step or rung length
• 2-inch width fits standard ladder rungs and narrow stair nosings
• Aggressive abrasive surface provides slip resistance on metal, wood, and fiberglass substrates
• Black color blends with common industrial and commercial step finishes
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for direct surface application without mechanical fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose anti-slip tread for steps, ladders, and platform edges in industrial, commercial, and residential settings where surface slip resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean the substrate thoroughly to remove oil, dust, and moisture to ensure full adhesive contact. Cut sections to the required length using a utility knife and straightedge before removing the backing liner. Apply firm hand pressure across the full surface of the tread to seat the adhesive. Allow adequate dwell time before exposing the tread to foot traffic or wet conditions.
