Marine Structures & Vessel Anti-Slip & Non-Skid Coatings

Dynamic environmental conditions such as extreme heat, heavy rain, rough swells, and freezing temperatures pose ongoing safety hazards for the maritime industry. To ensure safe operations, marine vessel anti-slip coatings and marine non-skid coatings are designed to improve traction, protect critical surfaces, and withstand the demanding requirements of marine environments. Create a safe working environment for seafarers and crew members abroad your vessel or structure with SafTrax's anti-slip thermal spray coatings.

What Is A Marine Grade Non-Skid Coating?

A marine grade non-skid coating is a high-performance coating system designed specifically to provide superior anti-slip safety for various surfaces on marine vessels and structures. These coatings not only enhance surface traction but also offer corrosion resistance and protection from wear, impact, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions.

SafTrax Marine Grade Non-Skid Coatings deliver reliable, long-lasting adhesion and are engineered to perform under extreme temperatures, humid environments, and heavy rolling motion at sea.

Why Use Non-Skid Coating for Marine Applications?

Marine vessels at sea constantly experience motion, ranging from gentle swaying to heavy rolling and pitching. Choosing a marine anti-slip coatings ensures superior footing and safety even in the harshest maritime environments.

Key benefits of marine vessel anti-slip coatings include:

  • High Coefficient of Friction: SafTrax coatings provide a 1:1 coefficient of friction, ensuring stable footing in slippery, wet, or hazardous conditions.

  • Corrosion Protection: Coatings prevent rust and corrosion of metal surfaces for long-term durability.

  • Resistance to Oils and Fuels: Designed to repel substances commonly encountered in maritime operations.

  • Impact and Abrasion Resistance: Durable coatings prevent damage in high-traffic areas.

Engineered for extreme performance, SafTrax marine non-skid coatings are ideal for protecting aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and other marine-grade surfaces.

Benefits of Saftrax Coating For Marine Applications

Traditional non-skid coatings often suffer from limitations, such as long curing times and susceptibility to chipping, which can expose underlying materials to corrosion. SafTrax anti-slip coatings for marine structures eliminate these issues with a durable, impact-resistant design that withstands environmental and operational stress.

Additional benefits include:

  • Long-Lasting Performance: Average lifespan of up to a decade.
  • Zero Maintenance Required: No need for repairs or frequent touch-ups.
  • Quick Application Process: Twin wire arc spray application minimizes downtime.

By choosing SafTrax marine vessel anti-slip coatings, you can improve safety while reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifecycle of your marine structures.

How to Apply Anti-Slip Coatings to Marine Vessels & Structures

Easy to apply and with an average lifespan of one decade, our marine non-skid coatings are a durable and economical solution for marine structure and vessel traction and degradation problems. Coating your marine vessel or structure with SafTrax coatings is easy and requires zero maintenance. The coatings are applied using a twin wire arc spray process, which does not require mixing, curing or cordoning off areas for long periods of time. These marine grade anti-slip coatings are ideal for aluminum, cast or ductile iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel surfaces. They are also suitable for concrete and plastic surfaces.

 

Common Applications for Marine Non-Skid Coatings

Applications that commonly use SafTrax coatings include boat decks, floors, steps, ladders, walkways, vault doors, transition plates, handicap ramps, and bridge expansion joints and scaffolding, among others. The coatings’ corrosion- and abrasion-resistant properties can increase the longevity of vehicle and forklift loading ramps, aircraft landing areas and marine vessels.
