Non-slip tape can not be used after water, this needs to be considered from many aspects, one is to look at the substrate, one is the surface sand, and one is the adhesive. From these three aspects, it is clear whether the non-slip tape can still be used after encountering water.
For example, the base material of the anti-slip tape has PVC, its full name polyvinyl chloride, this material has poor photothermal stability, but the physical and chemical properties are stable, insoluble in water, alcohol, gasoline, gas and water vapor leakage is low, so the PVC material will not be soaked after water, and can be used. Then there is the sand on the surface of the tape, and the surface sand of the non-slip tape is most often emery. Emery has good wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, although it is not clearly stated whether it can be used in water, but according to the material characteristics, it can be seen that it does not have water absorption. Finally, the adhesive, the use of acrylic oil adhesive non-slip tape, adhesive adhesion is relatively strong, has good oil resistance, but also has a certain water resistance effect.
To sum up, the PVC non-slip tape can still be used after water, but in fact, there are PEVA non-slip tape specially used in bathrooms, swimming pools and other places, which is specifically for the environment with more water vapor.
