Hand-held Device for Flame Spraying of Thermoplastic Powders

Hand-held
Efficient
Versatile
Suitable for on-site works
Suitable for coating large-sized and fixed structures
Suitable for repairs and touch-ups

Application Advantages
It can be used virtually on any kinds of materials: metals, concrete, fibreglass, plastics, wood, cardboard, anti-slip applications.

Able to apply various kinds of thermoplastic powders:
PLAHOTCOTE thermoplastics
Nylon (polyamide)
Polypropylenes
Other copolymer alloys in general (for more information please contact IBIX Anticorrosione S.r.l.)

One-step application cycle: application of the pre-heated thermoplastic powder directly on the pre-treated surface (recommended treatment: sandblasting) of the substrate, by means of the GLADIATOR OmniCoater Flame Spray gun and/or additional flame gun. Ecological and non-toxic cycle: absence of solvents, VOCs, TGIC, plasticizers, halogens, isocyanates and heavy metals. Immediate utilization of the coated item (no waiting time). The coating can be fully repaired and touched up by simply re-melting the powder on the surface to be repaired or increased in thickness. Coating duration: definitely longer than traditional systems, with huge savings on maintenance and refurbishment: thanks to GLADIATOR OmniCoater it is possible to extend the high-quality results of the anti-corrosive protection provided by thermoplastic powders to anti-corrosion applications on site as well as on large structures. Applicable with all weather conditions.

Typical Uses and Applications
On-site application on installed items that cannot be removed (refurbishment, maintenance and application of the thermoplastic coating on non painted items, etc.).
In-factory or on-site repair and restoration works on items coated with thermoplastic powders using the traditional method (electrostatic or fluidised bed).
In-factory application on large-sized items that would require too large an oven and/or bath.
