HOW IT WORKS
How Our Professional Metal & Steel Coating Process Works
1
Corrosion Assessment & Preparation
Our technicians evaluate the metal surface's age, corrosion status contamination level and exposure conditions. We identify areas where rust, salt spray, or previous coating failure might affect adhesion, and assess whether metal preparation (abrasive blasting, chemical conversion coating) is required for optimal bonding.
Usually completed within 48 hours
2
Industrial-Grade Application
The dual-component polyurethane coating is applied using techniques engineered for industrial metal substrates. The coating creates a protective barrier that bonds to the metal without trapping moisture that would accelerate corrosion. On grating, the formulation fills micro-voids to add grip while maintaining drainage properties.
Zero downtime for your facility
3
Durability Verification & Documentation
The coating cures to full industrial-grade specification within 48-72 hours. We provide test reports confirming AS 4586 compliance, salt-spray resistance ratings, and chemical compatibility data. For facilities managing hazardous areas or environmental compliance, documentation is provided to regulatory bodies and site safety auditors.

Why Stellmann vs Alternatives for Metal & Steel
Stellmann vs Welded Treads: Welded treads cost $50-150 per stair require shutdown for installation, trap water between tread and substrate (causing hidden corrosion), and create maintenance liabilities when welds fail. Stellmann adds equivalent traction for a fraction of the cost, without structural modification and without creating corrosion pockets.
Stellmann vs Paint Overlays: Standard industrial paint may add slip resistance temporarily, but fails rapidly under oil splashes, hydraulic fluid exposure, and chemical washdowns typical of manufacturing. Stellmann is formulated specifically for industrial chemical exposure and maintains adhesion where paint peels and fails.
Works Where Traditional Solutions Fail: Loading docks in industrial settings, marine facilities with salt spray, these are the environments where generic anti-slip solutions fail. Stellmann is engineered for the chemistry and load conditions that defeat competitors, delivering slip safety in facilities where traditional solutions have consistently failed.
Who Needs Anti-Slip Coating for Metal & Steel?
Metal surfaces, particularly steel grating, diamond plate, and galvanised steel, paradoxically become MORE slippery when wet. Water streams through grating, oil collects on flat surfaces, and rain transforms high-friction materials into skating rinks. Traditional solutions (welded treads, applied grit tape, paint overlays) are expensive, maintenance-intensive and often fail under industrial conditions. Stellmann's engineered coating adds traction to metal without requiring structural modifications, doesn't degrade under chemical exposure or salt-spray environments, and actually protects the underlying metal from further oxidation.
Industrial facility managers specify Stellmann for loading dock safety beyond diamond plate, mining operations managing slip risks on elevated grating, marine facilities protecting workers on corroded metal platforms, and manufacturing plants where oil and moisture make metal surfaces dangerous. The coating performs on fresh steel, weathered steel, aluminium with oxidation, and galvanised surfaces, each presenting unique surface chemistry challenges that Stellmann formulation is engineered to overcome.
Warehouse & Loading Dock Managers: Managing slip risk on metal stairs and platforms where equipment traffic is continuous
Mining Operation Managers: Requiring slip safety on elevated grating and metal walkways exposed to outdoor elements
Marine Facility Operators: Protecting workers on corroded metal platforms and structures exposed to salt spray

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from people who've treated metal & steel surfaces across Australia.
Will the coating affect galvanisation or rust protection?
No. Stellmann's formulation is specifically engineered for galvanised and oxidised metal surfaces. The coating creates a protective barrier that actually prevents further oxidation. Unlike some treatments that trap moisture, Stellmann allows metal to breathe while preventing water ingress that causes corrosion.
Does it resist oil and hydraulic fluid exposure?
Yes. The coating is formulated to withstand industrial oils hydraulic fluids and chemical splashes common in manufacturing and material handling environments. It maintains adhesion where standard paint and other anti-slip solutions fail.
Can it be applied to grating without clogging drainage?
Yes. On metal grating, the coating fills micro-voids to add grip while maintaining drainage properties. We assess grating design and apply techniques that preserve water flow while adding traction on the walking surface.
Does it work on weathered or rusty metal?
Stellmann can be applied to oxidised metal, but surface preparation is critical. Heavy rust or active corrosion may require abrasive blasting or chemical conversion coating before application to ensure optimal bonding and long-term durability.
How does it perform in coastal or salt-spray environments?
Stellmann is tested and certified for salt-spray resistance. The coating provides both slip resistance and corrosion protection for marine facilities, coastal loading docks and facilities exposed to aggressive atmospheric conditions.
