In the UK its known as "Textured Functional Film"

 

I use this quite often around the boot openings to prevent the paintwork getting scuffed from loading/unloading.

If this stuff is the same texture as this http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Facilities-Care-Cleaning-NA/commercial-cleaning/cleaning-supplies/~/3M-Safety-Walk-Slip-Resistant-General-Purpose-Tapes-and-Treads-610-Black-0-75-in-x-24-in-Tread-50-case?N=4294699826+6702276&&Nr=AND%28hrcy_id%3AGSBT72LF7Bgs_H244KZTF15_N2RL3FHWVK_GPD0K8BC31gv%29&rt=d > I've used this adhered to tongue depressors as DIY emery boards, which leads me to state I'd never consider cutting this with a plotter blade.

You wouldn't catch that stuff in my cutter and if cutting by hand cut from the backside or your blade will be dull in the first cut.

We cut it on machines where I work to install on floor panels. In our search for blades, we found a simple exacto blade works the best for the lowest cost.
