ANTI SLIP POWDER COATING

Anti slip powder coating; a genuinely remarkable, hard-wearing with first-class corrosion protection and non-slip metal sprayed coating.

Ideal for exterior staircases, fire escapes, tread plates, lorry and van tailgate lifts, garage ramps, railway stations, shipping and many other areas where slipping is a risk. This coating will outlast anti-slip paints and other glued coatings for years and can be overcoated with paint or powder in various colours.

We can manufacture stair treads and plates to suit your needs.

Due to the process of applying Arctec28E, it must be carried out within our factory, and we are currently unable to offer on-site work.

28E ARCTEC

Metallisation’s durable non-slip coating, 28E ARCTEC, is a reinforced aluminium-based coating. It is ideal for use in pedestrian and industrial flooring areas, bridge decks, escalators, steel floors, and panels across diverse industries and public places where slippage is a safety risk to the public and workers.

Untreated steel surfaces can become very slippery, especially in wet conditions, and are prone to corrosion. To ensure safe walking and industrial operating conditions, vital to personal safety and corporate productivity, 28E ARCTEC coating provides a durable, non-slip, anti-corrosion coating.

Traditionally, steel structures are hot-dip galvanised or painted to protect against corrosion. The disadvantage of hot-dip galvanising is that the surface can become slippery and only readily accept paint with the need for special primers. Painting this type of surface, which is sometimes applied with grit inclusions, also has disadvantages. The surfaces can degrade quickly in heavy use, resulting in corrosion and an increased slip hazard.

Many large steel structures, including oil platforms, refineries and bridges, have been routinely protected against corrosion by thermal spray aluminium (TSA), zinc or an alloy of the two. While providing unrivalled corrosion protection in aggressive corrosive environments, pure TSA is not durable enough to prevent long-term wear on floor plates. Ideally, steel structures need a durable coating that protects against both slip and corrosion, and that’s precisely what the Metallisation 28E ARCTEC coating does.

28E ARCTEC coating is a thermally sprayed coating that can be applied with a rough texture. It has excellent non-slip properties while being extremely hard and resistant to wear. The coating provides:

• A suitable level of grip to avoid personal slips or industrial skidding
• Comparable corrosion protection to aluminium, as used in aggressive environments
• Easy application by a long-standing process, covered by international standards
• The resultant coating is corrosion resistant, and because of its durability, site owners can be confident that once applied, they can forget about rust or slipping for many years.

ARC 140 system

28E ARCTEC is applied using the Metallisation Arcspray process with the ARC 140 system. In the arcspray process, the raw material, a pair of metallic wires, is melted by an electric arc. This molten material is atomised by a cone of compressed air and propelled towards the workpiece. Upon contact, the particles flatten onto the surface, freeze and mechanically bond, firstly onto the roughened substrate and then onto each other as the coating thickness increases. Coating thickness can range from around 50 microns up to several hundred microns or even millimetres for some metals. Typically, metal-sprayed corrosion protection coatings vary from 100 to 350 microns.
