antiskid

Prevents wheel slippage

Antiskid describes surfaces, materials, or systems designed to prevent slipping or sliding.

Antiskid mats provide traction in bathtubs; antiskid coatings keep warehouse floors safe.

In vehicles, antiskid braking systems prevent wheels from locking during hard stops.

The word functions identically to nonskid.
