¾ Our managers and applicators have extensive experience in Thermal Spray
Industry, and are fully capable and qualified to meet or exceed all applicable
codes and standards for projects throughout various industries. TSS provides
QA/QC documentation for the application process and procedural standards
for each project in strict adherence to all applicable code standards.
IBIX Grit Blast Equipment
TSE-OK IBIX is an ecological and
revolutionary system distinguished
by its compact design and ease of
mobility. It is best suited for special
cleaning and maintenance work in
various industries.
Manufactured from 100% Recycled Bottle Glass.
The use of post-consumer glass directly benefits the environment by reducing
landfill waste.
The manufacturing process reduces the glass and strips the contaminants and
waste by-products from the glass.
The product is sized and screened to the exact specifications needed for various
Abrasive Blasting needs.
Can be used for both Wet and Dry blasting applications.
Bottle or Tri-Mix Glass is chemically known as “Amorphous Silica”. It has
virtually no crystalline-silica which is commonly found in sand. Crystalline Silica is
the leading cause of Silicosis.
“Why Coatings Fail”
Spartacus Thermal Spray Equipment
SPARTACUS is a Thermal Spray hot powder coat
system requiring No curing with No residual
overspray which ensures an easily Repairable
maintenance free system with Fast Turnarounds

What are Thermosets?
¾ Commonly referred to as Traditional Powder Coatings.
¾ The term thermoset refers to polymeric material that
will not soften or melt after being cured.
¾ The resins that are used to make thermosetting
powders are epoxy, polyester, and acrylic.
¾ There are five types of powder coating systems that are
derived from these three general resins: epoxy, epoxypolyester, polyester-TGIC, acrylic-urethane, and
polyester-urethane.
¾ These types of polymers undergo a chemical crosslinking reaction when heated, resulting in a high
molecular weight product. Cross-links are chemical
bonds that link polymer chains together and give the
material strength.
What are Thermoplastics?
¾ Commonly referred to as “plastics”.
¾ Melt on heating and re-solidify on cooling.
¾ Common plastics are polyethylene, polystyrene,
polypropylene, nylon, PVC, etc.
¾ Used mostly for moulding into articles such as
bottles, caps and components or by extrusion
into packaging, carrier bags, pipes and fibres.
¾ Range of properties – from flexible to rigid, high
temperature or chemical resistance, toughness,
electrical insulation, etc.
