Steel surfaces can become very slippery, especially in wet conditions. 28E ARCTEC coating provides a durable non slip anti corrosion coating. Many large steel structures have been routinely protected against corrosion by thermal sprayed aluminium (TSA), zinc or an alloy of the two. While providing unrivalled corrosion protection in very aggressive corrosive environments, pure TSA is not durable enough to prevent long term wear properties. Ideally, steel structures need a durable coating that protects against both slip and corrosion and that’s exactly what the Metallisation 28E ARCTEC coating does. The coating is a thermal arc sprayed coating that can be applied with a rough texture and 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 and comparable corrosion protection to aluminium, as used in aggressive environments. Loading ramps, decks, stairs, manhole covers, truck beds, bridge expansion joints, vessel decks.
Application is easy by a long-standing process, covered by international standards and the surface result is an acceptable slip protection as defined by the U.K Highways Agency standard HA104.
