Fixed Wing and Helicopter Airframe
The best treatment for every part
We’ve been working with airframe design engineers for more than 50 years—developing effective solutions that precisely fit customer needs. Our coatings are used to extend the operating life of aircraft parts on fixed wing and rotary wing airframe structural components and systems. In many cases, we provide coatings where they have not been used in the past or in place of other surface treatments that cause environmental or occupational safety issues.
Customized solutions for every part
Whatever the problem, we have a coating solution for it. Below are some common problems you’ve likely encountered with fixed wing and helicopter structural components and systems. For us, each problem is a unique event, requiring a unique answer. Rather than forcing a standard solution, we’re interested in making more possible. That’s why we’ll work directly with you to understand your unique challenge and find the solution that gets you more performance from your parts and equipment.
