Introducing PA Traction.
Welcome to the future of surface protection and grip. PA Traction is Portsmouth Aviation’s latest Innovation in Anti-Slip Coatings.
Unlike conventional paints or glues, PA Traction does not merely cover the surface – it alters the surface at a fundamental level, delivering unrivalled strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The Anti-Slip capability can be a gamechanger in how your company approaches safety.
PA Traction offers remarkable corrosion resistance, with up to twenty years before first maintenance is required.
Its superior grip strength prevents personal slips and industrial skidding, ensuring the highest standards of safety in any setting. The coating’s flexibility allows it to be applied to a wide range of substrates, from steel and aluminium to more complex geometries, without compromising the structural integrity of the underlying material. By transforming the surface at a molecular level rather than acting as a simple adhesive, PA Traction ensures enhanced durability and a reliable, long-lasting finish.
PA Traction can be deployed across a multitude of settings where grip and safety are paramount:
Arc Spray Technology, also known as Twin-Wire Arc Spray, is an advanced method for applying metallic coatings to protect substrates from corrosion and wear. Two electrically charged wires create an arc that melts their tips; compressed air propels the molten particles onto the prepared surface, where they solidify into a robust coating. Essential equipment includes a power supply, wire drive, spray gun, air compressor and surface-preparation apparatus. Benefits include high deposition rates, minimal heat input, cost-effectiveness and no combustion gases. Ideal for large structures in harsh environments, it ensures strong bonding using metals such as zinc, aluminium, steel and bronze.
All PA Traction coatings are applied at our Portsmouth Aviation facility to maintain full control over quality and consistency. This turnkey approach enables us to oversee the entire project, from initial assessment through to final application, ensuring seamless integration of processes and complete customer satisfaction. By choosing PA Traction, you benefit from a proven, industry-leading solution that not only enhances grip and safety but also offers long-lasting protection against corrosion.
Discover how PA Traction breathes new life into tired surfaces, delivering durable, high-performance coatings that resist corrosion, abrasion and environmental damage. Our process revitalises structural steel, marine vessels and industrial components with minimal downtime and heat distortion. Fast, cost-efficient and environmentally friendly, it dramatically transforms maintenance schedules, extending asset lifespan and performance, while ensuring unrivalled protection and visual appeal.
