Durable Anti-Slip Protection for Deck Surfaces (4222E)
Nitto Slipguard (4222E) is a high-performance protective film designed for temporary underfoot protection during vessel builds, refits, and maintenance. It safeguards surfaces against dust, dirt, foot traffic, paint splashes, and water stains, keeping your deck areas clean and protected.
Its textured anti-slip surface enhances safety in dry conditions, while the film remains easy to apply with minimal effort — provided the surface is clean and dry. Once in place, Slipguard offers excellent abrasion resistance, holding firmly without tearing or lifting prematurely.
Ideal for use on a wide variety of marine flooring, including wood, teak, varnished, or painted surfaces, Slipguard leaves no adhesive residue upon removal, even after extended use.
♻️ Fully recyclable and trusted for interior and exterior marine environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long can Slipguard be left in place?
Slipguard is designed for temporary protection during construction, refit, or maintenance projects. While it offers UV resistance for up to 3 months, it performs best when used for shorter periods of 4-8 weeks. For extended protection needs, we recommend periodic inspection and possible replacement to maintain optimal anti-slip properties and protection.
-
Is Slipguard waterproof?
Slipguard offers good water resistance and will protect surfaces from water stains and minor splashes. However, it's not designed for continuous submersion or for areas with standing water. The anti-slip properties are optimized for dry or slightly damp conditions. For areas frequently exposed to water, we recommend checking edges regularly to ensure water isn't migrating underneath the film.
-
Will Slipguard damage teak decking?
Slipguard is specifically formulated to be safe for use on teak and other wood surfaces. It's designed to remove cleanly without leaving residue or pulling oils from teak surfaces. However, for very old or dry teak, we recommend testing on a small area first. Also, avoid leaving Slipguard on teak for extended periods in hot, direct sunlight, as this may affect the natural aging process of the wood underneath.
-
Can Slipguard be walked on with wet shoes?
While Slipguard provides good slip resistance in dry and slightly damp conditions, it's not designed to replace dedicated wet-area anti-slip solutions. The textured surface offers some grip when moderately wet, but caution should still be exercised when walking on the surface with wet shoes, especially in areas with significant water exposure. For maximum safety, we recommend keeping the surface as dry as possible.
