ANTI SLIP METALLISED COATING
Anti-slip powder coating; a genuinely remarkable, hard-wearing, with first-class corrosion protection and non-slip metal sprayed coating.
Offering a long and hard-wearing coat that is 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.

application of Arctec28E
A reinforced aluminium-based coating, this 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.
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.
application of 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.

28E ARCTEC
Metallisation’s 28E ARCTEC is a unique, durable, non-slip coating. It is a reinforced aluminium-based solution specifically designed for application in pedestrian and industrial flooring, bridge decks, escalators, steel floor surfaces, and panels across various industries. It is particularly beneficial in public spaces where the risk of slipping poses a safety concern for both the public and employees.
Untreated steel surfaces are particularly susceptible to becoming slippery, especially when exposed to wet conditions, and are also prone to corrosion. To ensure safe walking and operational conditions — critical to personal safety and corporate productivity — the 28E ARCTEC coating offers a robust, non-slip, anti-corrosive solution, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Historically, steel structures have been protected against corrosion through hot-dip galvanisation or paint applications. However, hot-dip galvanisation can result in slippery surfaces and often requires special primers to facilitate paint adhesion. Moreover, paint applied to these surfaces, which may contain grit inclusions, can deteriorate rapidly under heavy use, increasing the risk of corrosion and slipping hazards.
Many large steel structures, such as oil platforms, refineries, and bridges, have typically employed thermal-sprayed aluminium (TSA), zinc, or a combination of the two for corrosion protection. Although pure TSA provides exceptional corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, it lacks the durability necessary to withstand long-term wear on floor plates. Therefore, steel structures need to be equipped with a durable coating that protects against both slip hazards and corrosion—a requirement that the Metallisation 28E ARCTEC coating satisfactorily fulfils.
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, giving you the confidence that it will perform reliably for many years.
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 accepts paint, requiring special primers. Painting this type of surface, which is sometimes applied with grit inclusions, also has disadvantages. The surfaces can degrade quickly under heavy use, leading to corrosion and increased slip hazard.
Many large steel structures, including oil platforms, refineries and bridges, have been routinely protected against corrosion by thermal-sprayed 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 and is extremely hard and wear-resistant. 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 Arc Spray process with the ARC 140 system. In the arc spray 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, first to the roughened substrate and then to each other as the coating thickness increases. Coating thickness can range from around 50 microns to several hundred microns, or even millimetres, for some metals. Typically, metal-sprayed corrosion protection coatings vary from 100 to 350 microns.
