The special SpiderGrip resins employed and the traction ridge design provide an inherent cushioning effect. Typical protection films, (1 to 3 mil thin plastic sheets), lay perfectly flat. The full impact force of dropped implements transfers directly and can potentially damage the underlying substrate.
SpiderGrip Film, which is manufactured with 7 mils of the resin mass and nominal thicknesses between 12 and 14 mils, reduces the likelihood that a dropped tool will chip or dent flooring, counters, furniture or other protected surfaces.
