MEBAC Surfaced Rungs and Rung Covers
Ladders are one place where slips tend to have the most extreme consequences.
IKG® offers the ideal anti-slip solution with its proven line of MEBAC® coating that provides slip resistance for ladder rungs. MEBAC slip-resistant coating is ideal when fabricating all types of ladder rungs and rung covers for both new and existing ladders. For new construction, IKG offers MEBAC surfaced ladder rungs. For retrofitting existing ladders, we offer MEBAC easy to install rung covers. MEBAC comes in a variety of surfaces, coatings and finishes for any application and can fabricated to your exact project specifications.
MEBAC meets or exceeds all known coefficient of friction requirements for ladders under wet or dry conditions. Versatile and economical, MEBAC surfaces are readily available from IKG and can be applied to solid, square carbon steel or aluminum bars on one side only.
Our surfaced rungs and rung covers are available in stock lengths of 10 in. (steel) and 12 in. (aluminum) or can be cut to a specific length for your application. MEBAC ladder rung covers are available in two sizes to install over existing ¾- or 1-in. round rungs. Application of MEBAC slip resistance for ladder rungs can bring existing ladders to current slip-resistant standards.

Surface Options/Finishes
Mill Finish Carbon Steel MEBAC will rust readily if exposed to moisture. Care must be taken during transit and storage to protect from moisture. We recommend a quality rust inhibitive coating be applied after application of Mill Finished Steel MEBAC to protect the surface from rusting.
