Résumé : |
Aerospace is a high-end industry driven by technology and coatings for aircraft application arguably are among the most technologically advanced and complex. All characteristics need to deliver high performance without any compromise.
Characteristics for coatings used on civil aircraft depend on the part and area of the application. Exterior aircraft pretreatments and structural primers provide adhesion for topcoats, corrosion resistance and protection against aggressive materials, such as aviation hydraulic fluids. Primers and topcoats help protect the aircraft surface from degradation by rain, ice, humidity, ultraviolet radiation, temperature extremes and other atmospheric conditions encountered during aircraft operation. Speciality coatings have unique qualities to address the functional needs of specific parts, such as fuel tanks and wings.
Customers want durable topcoats with high-level aesthetics that retain their gloss and colour for several years. They also look for coatings to provide other functions, such as solar heat management to keep aircraft cooler ; reduced drag for better fuel economy; ice mitigation to reduce the need for de-icing aircraft prior to flight ; and easy cleaning solutions.
Coatings products must perform as required under a challenging operating envelope while affording weight reduction, environmental compliance, fast processing and aesthetics. They also must meet global regulatory requirements for the aerospace industry. |
