Airports and aerospace facilities combine extremely high pedestrian footfall with constant cleaning, wheeled luggage traffic, and frequent transitions between wet and dry zones. Terminal entrances, boarding gate ramps, and multi-storey car park stairwells are all areas where anti-slip surfacing can significantly reduce slip risk.
In aerospace maintenance environments, hangar floors, walkways around aircraft, and access platforms present additional challenges with oil, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemical contamination.
Key application zones
- Terminal entrance zones where rain is tracked in by thousands of passengers daily
- Boarding gate ramps and jet bridge connections
- Baggage reclaim areas with polished floors and wheeled traffic
- Multi-storey car park stairwells exposed to moisture and contamination
- Airside walkways and apron access routes
- Hangar floors and maintenance platforms in aerospace facilities
Unique challenges in aviation environments
- 24/7 operations with limited shutdown windows
- security and airside access requirements for contractors
- chemical contamination from de-icing, fuel, and hydraulic fluids
- intensive cleaning regimes that can affect coating longevity
- wheeled luggage creating unusual wear patterns
- strict fire and material compliance requirements
