Dycem has been developed to produce the most effective non-slip material available. It is not sticky but it grips dry slippery surfaces e.g. worktops trays floors and tables to prevent movement. It may also be used to enhance grip on jars handles etc. It can be cleaned in soft soapy water to retain its properties but is not effective when wet. Dycem Non-Slip Anchorpads provide a secure surface that anchors items effectively in place. They are ideal for use in the home especially when preparing food in the kitchen. They are ideal for stabilizing objects such as mixing bowls chopping boards or plates whilst eating. The yellow Dycem range is also endorsed for the visually impaired by the RNIB. Colour contrast is important for many partially sighted elderly people as it helps to make items easier to see against work surfaces. Placing a white bowl on a brightly coloured Dycem mat will help make it easier to see as well as making the bowl more stable.
