Common Concerns Answered

SEM GripTide™ utilizes a professional-grade, two-component urethane formula, delivering superior durability, chemical resistance, and grip compared to many single-component or water-based alternatives. This advanced formulation ensures a long-lasting, safe surface designed for demanding marine environments.
