antislip

Prevents unwanted sliding

Antislip describes surfaces, materials, or products designed to prevent slipping or sliding.

Antislip mats in bathtubs, antislip tape on stairs, and antislip soles on shoes all provide traction where slickness might otherwise cause falls.

The term functions as an adjective modifying whatever object has been treated or manufactured to reduce the risk of slipping.
