Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings Debuts New Products

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings (Booth No. 4547), located in Andover, Kan., introduced several new products during NBAA’12. Its new urethane primer and sanding surfacer (CM0481827) can double as either a traditional sanding surfacer or as a primer. MROs and paint shops can now use one product for two purposes. And the product dries twice as fast as traditional epoxy surfacer technologies. The corrosion-inhibitive urethane primer is also chromate hazard-free and is intended for use on all aircraft.

Also introduced here and also chrome hazard-free, the company’s Skydrol-resistant epoxy primer (CM0483790) is a two-component corrosion-inhibitive product as well. The key to this product, according to Sherwin-Williams, is its flexibility, suiting aircraft skins and control surfaces, which typically flex, expand and contract during flight. The product meets all VOC regulations and is considered a low-VOC clearcoat product.
