Welcoming the General and Business Aviation Market to NBAA 2011, AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings presented new products from their Alumigrip® range, already recognized for providing outstanding quality and a superb finish.
Associated with environmentally progressive coatings and technological advances within the aviation sector, new Alumigrip Base Coat and Alumigrip Clear Coat products add the latest in topcoat technology to AkzoNobel Aerospace Products’ portfolio of coatings solutions for the General and Business Aviation Market.
Launching new products from the Alumigrip range of environmentally compliant primers, surfacers and topcoats:
- •
Alumigrip® 4001 chromate free, corrosion inhibiting primer/surfacer.
- •
Alumigrip® 4101 chromate free, corrosion inhibiting primer.
- •
Alumigrip® 4200 high solids buffable polyurethane topcoat.
- •
Alumigrip® 2111 chromate free, corrosion inhibiting primer.
The new Alumigrip products drive General and Business Aviation coating technology forward in conjunction with key industry demands for chrome elimination and cycle time reductions.
Alumigrip 2111 is a VOC compliant, chrome free, corrosion inhibiting, urethane compatible, Skydrol® resistant primer for application to aircraft exterior surfaces. Alumigrip 2111 provides excellent corrosion protection and optimizes the system adhesion of the exterior decorative finish.
Alumigrip 4101 is a chrome free corrosion inhibiting epoxy primer. The primer is specifically formulated for application to conversion coated exterior aluminium and composite surfaces prior to the application of the decorative topcoat. Alumigrip 4101 provides a cost-effective option for users to lower personal exposure to chromates during the application and sanding processes. Approved to Hawker Beechcraft BS178928 and Bombardier BAMS 565-018 specifications, Alumigrip 4101 is an important technology for today’s environmentally concerned aerospace industry leaders.
Alumigrip 4001 is a combination primer/surfacer formulated for application to reactivated process primers. It may also be applied directly to metal using a chemical conversion coating per MIL-C-5541. This unique product significantly reduces process time by providing chrome free corrosion inhibition and the benefits of a primer/surfacer in one product. This combination of properties enables the applicator to further reduce process time while providing the basis for a high gloss finish.
Alumigrip 4200 is a buffable low VOC topcoat that provides premium gloss and superior distinctness of image. This makes it the ideal product to meet the high expectations of today’s discriminating aircraft owners. Formulated to provide the most forgiving application parameters in high temperature and humidity conditions, this topcoat provides a wide application window resulting in less re-work. Alumigrip 4200 is incredibly easy to apply and results in a beautiful, smooth finish.
Alumigrip Base Coat and Alumigrip Clear Coat is the latest topcoat technology that has been shown to reduce cycle time up to 40 percent. This buffable system provides extended durability, superior hiding and a smooth, glass finish. A full line of colors, including special effects is available
The Alumigrip product portfolio offers customers unique and eye-catching premium paintwork, with an outstanding finish for which Alumigrip is well known.
