An overview of flame spray technology.
IBIX INDUSTRIAL flame spray — manufacturer’s video, English commentary · All IBIX videos
How it works
The gun’s flame melts the thermoplastic powder and sprays it straight onto the structure, on site: no oven, no booth, no fluidized bed. The coating sets in seconds and can be repaired or touched up right away. It resists chipping, peeling and scratching, as well as UV, salt, sand, water and pollution.
On metal, IBIX powders go on without a primer. On concrete, the two-component epoxy primer POLYRES N is required: it seals the substrate before spraying.
The systems are designed and built in Italy by the IBIX INDUSTRIAL division. In Canada, IBIX Conservation Technologies Inc. handles technical advice, demonstrations, sales of machines, powders and consumables, and arranges training.
Applications
Anti-osmotic barrier
Buildings, bridges, offshore structures, marine.
Dielectric insulation
Continuous insulation of buried components; protection against electrical and marine corrosion.
Chemical resistance
Acid-resistant lining for tanks, containers, fittings and industrial sites.
Abrasion resistance
Discharge lines for mineral waste and process water.
Non-slip finishes
Non-slip versions available; we’ll confirm the options for your powder and use.
