anti-skid
Prevents slipping surfaces
Anti-skid describes surfaces, materials, or systems designed to prevent slipping or sliding.
Anti-skid mats keep rugs in place; anti-skid coatings on stairs provide traction.
In automotive contexts, anti-skid braking systems prevent wheels from locking during hard stops: The car's anti-skid feature kept us from sliding on the ice.
