| Résumé : |
Although many coatings have additives to increase their resistance to mar and scratch damage, those coatings are designed for other functions (decoration, corrosion protection, etc.) and the damage protection is simply done with a little bit of wax or PTFE emulsion. However, there are products of such critical need for scratch protection that a special class of high performance coatings have been designed to protect these materials. The prime usage is in airplane windows or canopies where survival of high speed travelling in the omnipresent dust of the atmosphere is an absolute necessity so the pilot can see to land the aircraft in day or night. The silica filled silane and polyurethane based materials are reviewed, and test procedures discussed. |
