Thermal Spray For Corrosive Slippery Surfaces

Metallizing Equipment Co offers Thermal Spray to mend Corrosive Slippery Surfaces. Steel floors, decks, panels from diverse industries are liable to dual hazards of corrosion and accidents due to its slippery nature. Such metallic structures, which remain in wet conditions most of the times, are liable to harm of corrosion. Several technologies are available to combat such corrosive conditions but structures where man movement takes place require dual advantages of anti corrosive and anti-slippery surface. 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 it does not easily accept paint without the need for special primers. Painting this type of surface, which is sometimes applied with grit inclusions, also has its disadvantages. The surfaces can degrade quickly in heavy use, resulting in corrosion and an increased slip hazard. Thermally sprayed coating can be applied with a rough texture and has excellent non-slip properties, while being extremely hard and resistant to wear.This coating provides: a suitable level of grip, to avoid personal slips or industrial skidding; comparable corrosion protection to aluminium, as used in aggressive environments; and easy application by a long-standing process, covered by international standards. Structures like oil tanks, train steps, oil platforms, footbridges, etc., can be treated with thermal spray coating for obtaining a rough and tough surface.
