Dycem Non-Slip Material

Dycem non-slip matting solves a small but persistent problem: plates that slide, cups that tip, walkers and equipment that creep across a smooth surface. Made from a distinctive tacky polymeric material, Dycem grips both the surface it rests on and whatever sits on top of it — no adhesives, no fasteners, no residue. That combination makes it a go-to for occupational therapists, caregivers, and anyone supporting someone with limited grip, tremors, or reduced coordination.

The material comes on a roll so you can cut it to whatever length you need. Trim a small square to line a mixing bowl in the kitchen, cut a strip for a bedside tray, or lay a longer run under equipment that shouldn't wander. We carry it in practical widths and lengths, including the 8-inch x 10-yard blue roll (50-1500B) for cutting many small pieces, the 16-inch x 6½-foot roll (50-1506B) for wider surfaces and trays, and the 8-inch x 6½-foot roll (50-1501B) for everyday tabletop use.

A few things buyers commonly ask: Dycem is reusable and washable — rinse it with warm soapy water, let it air dry, and the grip returns. It is not adhesive-backed, so it lifts cleanly and leaves no marks on tables, trays, or countertops. And it works in both directions, meaning it stabilizes the object on top just as firmly as it anchors to the surface below.

Dycem is a staple of daily-living and rehab settings, complementing utensils, cups, and other stabilizing tools. Explore related items in our Daily Living Aids collection to build out a safer, more independent setup at home or in the clinic.
