Electrical Bonding Points in Aircraft Structures Aircraft structures contain numerous electrical bonding points. These are used to ground static electricity from non-metallic components such as radomes, provide an earth path for lightning strikes, and a current return path for electricity.* They’re essential for electrical safety and must be preserved in good condition.

Nysafe is an advanced material, high performance permanent surface coating that provides high-touch surface protection. This coating is proven to have antimicrobial and biocidal activities against various human pathogens while being safe for human touch. Nysafe can be applied in the process of catalysis, drug control delivery, biosensors, and biofuels. Nysafe-AV acts as a catalytic material because it has many advantages, namely thermally stable, chemically inert, and harmless. High-touch surfaces are in need of permanent, long-lasting antiviral surface coatings that do not need to be reapplied in hours, days, or weeks. An antiviral surface coating that has been proven to effectively disrupt enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2 adds extreme value to industrial applications, the transportation industry included. Surface protection products must provide more protection than simply being Antimicrobial, which really indicates the effectiveness for bacteria and viruses to attach and grow on the surface of a substrate. Antiviral products provide a high level of efficacy on surfaces in that they prevent the cell from reproducing, rendering it harmless Now Nycote Laboratories has formulated an industrial surface coating that can be applied once and is considered a long-life product. Nysafe formulation is unparalleled in that it has been tested against the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus at a biosafety level 4 laboratory. It is safe and yields a high level of efficacy against bacteria and viruses. The product offers double protection affecting pathogens. The Nysafe-AV coating can prevent cell growth and penetration on surfaces and can also be impregnated into a variety of materials as a resin additive.

Protection of Aerospace Part Markings and Labels Aerospace components and aircraft are individually identified by part markings applied by ink (by pen and inkjet printers) and by fixed labels and plates. It is essential that the identification remains legible throughout the life of the equipment and is not removed by service fluids or environmental conditions. Nycote products provide the perfect transparent protective coating and are approved by Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer for this application.

Protecting Aircraft Landing Gear from Runway Deicing Chemicals Airfield pavement deicing and anti-icing are essential activities to maintain safe winter operations of the aviation industry. Airfield pavement deicing products (PDPs) traditionally consisting of urea or glycols have become less popular due to environmental impacts. The New PDPs have emerged as alternatives that often contain Potassium Formate (KF) or Potassium Acetate (KAc) as freezing point depressant. Oxidation of aircraft landing gear, especially carbon-carbon composite brakes by modern PDPs have become a growing concern for the aircraft industry. Field reports increasingly suggest that contact with modern PDPs promote damage to aircraft components. Nycote 7-11 provides an excellent permanent safety barrier from extreme environments and can be used to coat and encapsulate aircraft landing gear parts. For example, Nycote 7-11 can be applied to wheel wells over other paint and coatings, providing a protective barrier against PDPs, which can later be wiped off of the coated surface.
