Heat resistant coating added to global range

A high performance fire and heat resistant insulation coating from AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings is now available in the global range

The coating, ref 64C1-2-A, is typically applied to aircraft engine nacelles, components and assemblies which can be regularly exposed to temperatures up to 600°C (315°F), but can survive peak exposure to 1500°F (815°C) for 15 minutes.

With excellent thermal stability and low thermal conductivity, this product has proved ideal for adhesive bonded assemblies in high temperature areas, where adhesive deterioration might otherwise occur. The spray-applied coating is applied directly onto the structure and can either be allowed to cure at room temperature or force cured. This makes it especially suited for use on assemblies with complicated configurations at thicknesses up to one inch (25mm) or more.

Another key property is its ability to provide 'backside' wall temperature control (when applied to the back of surfaces that are exposed to heat) even at low density.

The 64C1-2-A high temperature resistant coating is qualified to Boeing specification BMS 10-102, Type I, Class 1, Grade 25.

A high viscosity variant for hand trowel application is also offered, ref: 68C3-1A. This is ideal for repairing or potting requirements, offering excellent control of applied coating thickness across different parts of a structure and on complex surfaces. This product is qualified to Boeing specification BMS 10-102 Type I, Class 2, Grade 30.

Both coatings are already established in parts of the aerospace market, but by adding them to their global list, AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings are guaranteeing they can be supplied to the exact specification anywhere in the world.
