Leading through Innovation

Our Business

Intent on technical achievement from the start, TBA Electro Conductive Products was formed as a manufacturing company in 1985, although its roots can be traced back to Turner & Newall in the 1920's and the original business, Turner Brothers Asbestos, which was founded in 1879.

At the start of this century. TBA Industrial Products became a limited company, incorporating the Electro Conductive business, until TBA Electro Conductive Products was separated as a limited company in its own right (2003). Building on its strengths, the cutting edge business that you see today is now known as TBA Protective Solutions.

That's the evolution of the business identity, but it is the Company history of pioneering accomplishments and innovative projects that stand out like a beacon within the sector.

In the 1980's the very first mobile phones - the Orbitels and Ericssons of the communications world, were proactively coated with material from TBA, many more followed.

There has also been considerable involvement with the Aerospace industry, for example, the supply of crucial EMI shielding parts for BAE's Eurofighter. Shielding gaskets in aircraft have also been used around the boxes that house video monitors in the backs of seating. Satellite dishes have TBA coatings; body pads for the medical industry come from TBA and state of the art Voyager Blue identity protection, that can be used to protect credit/debit cards in a wallet or purse, was introduced as one of the latest strides forward.

Most recently TBAPS has launched one of the very first commercially viable products to harness the unique properties of graphene in a sprayable, transparent conductive coating which safeguards electronic equipment used in explosive ATEX environments.

This is a mere indication of the purpose and strengths of our R&D centred company, TBA Protective Solutions.
