Non-Skid Coating for Aircraft Carrier Industry - Aerospace & Air Transport
Innovative technologies in cockpits and aviation towers enable modern aircraft to operate in nearly all weather conditions. Superior traction of landing gear tires on the runway surface is vital for a successful touch down or take off.
A military grade non-skid coating is a type of coating used on aircraft carriers to provide the traction needed for the flight decks. These anti-slip coatings are extremely important in both flight operations and for ship personnel safety.
Attain the optimum anti-skid performance needed to bring an aircraft and its occupants to a safe stop on your military or naval flight surface using SafTrax anti-slip thermal spray coatings. With a coefficient of friction of 1:1 and corrosion-resistant properties, SafTrax military-grade non-slip coatings create a high-traction environment that protects metal substrates from degradation, wear, abrasion, heat, and impact forces.
BENEFITS OF SAFTRAX COATING FOR MILITARY AND NAVAL APPLICATIONS
Offering an average lifespan of one decade or more, SafTrax aircraft carrier non-skid coatings are a durable and economical solution for naval and military flight surface traction and wear problems. Compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and surpassing Occupational Safety and Health Administration non-skid requirements, these coatings create safe work environments, withstand flexing and maintain corrosion resistance when gouged in service. These military-grade non-slip coatings are frequently used in marine, military, and heavy traffic settings to provide a high traction area for both planes and people.
ANTI-SKID COATING CHARACTERISTICS
The SafTrax line of anti-slip coatings includes TH335, TH604, and TH605, which are ideal for aluminum, cast or ductile iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel surfaces. They are also suitable for concrete and plastic surfaces. TH604 is a tubular or cored aluminum wire filled with up to 46 percent of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) powder, whereas TH605 is tubular or cored wire filled with up to 46 percent of silicon carbide (SiC) powder. TH335 is a tubular or cored wire comprised of iron and packed with aluminum and carbon powders.
