Don’t worry! Many of us have slippery hands. Unfortunately you have to keep trying products until you find one that works. I would recommend:
Dry Hands. Works great. You apply some on your hands and it dries out the sweat.
Tite Grip. I believe you are supposed to put this stuff on a bit before practice and let it dry. It will reduce overall hand sweat.
Firm Grip. This is not for your hands as much as your body. Spray it on to those sweaty body parts that are slipping off the pole.
Which tapes have you tried? I have the same issue and the only tape I've found that is tacky enough (for the most part) is Broz tape. Even then I typically use a tack spray on my thumbs to hold the tape on better because every so often the Broz tape doesn't stick as well as I'd like.
The one I use is Cramer Firm Grip. Makes the tape stick really well and not move at all. It does leave some residue on your thumbs after taking the tape off but it's easy enough to clean off. Cramer also makes a pre-spray meant for before taping but I didn't like it as much as the firm grip when I used it.
I had this problem with my chrome xpole too. The only thing that's made a difference for me is this Firm Grip spray (https://www.amazon.com/Cramer-Activities-Gymnastics-Weightlifting-Powerlifting/dp/B0001DK088/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1526663677&sr=8-3&keywords=firm+grip)
I have super sweaty hands and this product has made a huge difference. I can get through 20+ minutes without needing to reapply/wipe down the pole. One can lasts me 8+ months of regular use.
Rosin is the equivalent of chalk for silks and rope. You can either get try rosin and apply it to your hands with a bit of rubbing alcohol to get it wet or you can get aerosolized rosin. Spray athletic adhesive also works very well.
It's great however I would reccomend over time as your grip strength improves, only use it when you need it that way you continue to build your grip strength.
I had the same issue - I have a slippery nylon/spandex unitard and my routine has a drop that ends with needing to grip/pinch behind my knees or else I land on my head. I picked up Cramer Firm Grip Spray http://www.amazon.com/Cramer-Anti-Slip-Enhancer-Activities-Gymnastics/dp/B0001DK088 and it has been fantastic. Added benefit beyond good stick is that there is no visible residue
