TH604 Anti-Slip / Anti-Corrosion Thermal Spray
SafTrax brand name encompasses a couple of different thermal spray non-skid products. These products are our TH604, TH605, and TH335. With the most common of these being the TH604 and TH605 non-skid.
Material Composition
TH604 is a tubular or cored aluminum wire filled with up to 46% powders consisting of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). This Anti-Corrosion Thermal Spray uses aluminum as a binder for the hard ceramic, providing corrosion protection to the underlying article, while the ceramic oxide offers wear resistance, adding long life to the coating. This particular product has a wide range of textures; it can be applied from slightly aggressive to very aggressive.
TH605 are Anti-Slip Spray Wires filled with up to 46% powders consisting of silicon carbide (SiC). The aluminum tube or sleeve acts as a binder for the hard silicon carbide and provides corrosion protection to the underlying article, with the silicon carbide offering wear resistance and long life to the anti-skid spray.
The makeup of the material for this anti-slip coating does not lend itself to much variance in its texture, meaning it can be applied really aggressively or aggressively.
Our TH335 is also a tubular or cored wire; however, the tube is comprised of iron. It is packed with aluminum and carbon powders to produce a hard, nonskid that is wear-resistant. Because the material has an iron base by itself, it does not offer any corrosion protection so it would need a post-treatment of galvanizing to protect it.

Non-Skid Spray Application Details
Twin wire arc spray process is used to apply these materials and form an anti-slip coating. This process is simple, easy to learn, highly productive, and economical to operate. The process can be controlled to produce coatings with a surface profile of different degrees of roughness, from slight to a very aggressive rough surface. Aluminum spray wires are known to provide long-term corrosion protection to steel, and our TH604 and TH605’s aluminum base duplicates the long-term protection, plus offers the benefits of high wear properties. These coating systems are especially beneficial for use on steel and aluminum; however, they can be applied to other metals and materials, including concrete and plastics.
| Material Application | Bond Strength | Coverage FT2/LB | Coverage FT2/HR |
