Pro Grip is EVA foam, High Density IIRC and I believe it is much cheaper bought from medical suppliers (used for making insoles and such like).

Loads of suppliers on Aliexpress that will do EVA foam - fake teak, diamonds etc.

It's horrible cheap crap sold expensively to us, it beaks down really easily and looks ghastly after a very short period of time, I refused to have it on my boat (and paid the price on the top reach today) but I'll find something more suitable.
