Sympathy’s Grip Tape is printed on Hella Grip’s classic formula, which is a silicon-carbide grit formula that provides great traction but wont wear out shoes. It features High-strength, waterproof, tear-proof PVC liner that cuts easily but wont wear out. Aggressive adhesive that wont degrade with cold or hot conditions. Silicon Carbide occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite. The cheaper alternative that is used in the industry is Aluminum Oxide. Hella does not incorporate this alternative chemical compound in our formula due to its substandard quality. Sympathy Grip Tape comes in at 7″ wide, and 24″ long so it will fit any deck on the market.
