We recognize that high quality spray equipment without compatible, first-rate coating materials can lead to less than desirable coatings. For arc spray, only wires designed and produced for thermal spraying ensure trouble-free application and superior, consistent coatings.

All Praxair® and TAFA® wires are engineered and manufactured exclusively for the specialized needs of thermal spray. Strict specifications and production controls guarantee that each wire is manufactured to a precise metallurgical composition and free from defects such as slivers or contaminants. Care is taken to ensure that our wires have the proper physical properties for thermal spraying − tensile strength, hardness, and surface finish − and that they are properly spooled for reliable performance. Post manufacturing testing and analysis assure that the targeted characteristics are achieved.
