With a thermally sprayed, titanium-containing metal coating we create rough, non-slip surfaces that help prevent accidents.

We provide slip-prone traffic surfaces with a special metal coating applied by Thermal Metal Spray technology. The metal layer offers excellent corrosion protection and, thanks to its roughness, anti-slip properties. TITANIUM metal particles dispersed in the top layer provide exceptional grip. It is also suitable for vehicles running on solid or pneumatic rubber tyres or on plastic (Danamid, Bonamid) wheels. It allows pedestrian traffic to move safely. It retains its outstanding anti-slip properties even in rainy weather and on wet surfaces.

The high-performance corrosion protection of the metal coating is provided by Thermal Metal Spray technology. After precise aluminium oxide (Al2O3, corundum) grit blasting, surface preparation and roughening, a pure 99.5 % aluminium metal coating is applied to the ferrous base plate at a thickness of approx. 100-150 microns.

A special coating that provides a high degree of roughness is then applied to the bare aluminium surface in a 200-300 micron layer. The material consists of titanium metal particles dispersed in aluminium, providing excellent grip for heavy vehicle tyres, solid plastic (Danamid) wheels and pedestrians alike.

The result? Vehicles and machinery being transported can climb onto the platform "on their own", even in rainy weather and on wet loading ramps.

Other applications: anti-slip treatment of hydraulic dock leveller steel surfaces, steel footbridges, walkways, helicopter landing decks and ship stern decks.

Refurbishment and anti-slip treatment of livestock trailer platforms and walking surfaces by metal spraying.
