Nygone Surface Coating Remover
Advanced, Non-Toxic Coating Removal for Aerospace Applications Aerospace industry protective coatings organic, inorganic, chemical conversion or metallic are the first line of defense against corrosion. Due to aging and the need to inspect the material under a coating, many of these coatings eventually require removal and reapplication. If the coating is improperly removed or removal damages the substrate/part, the results can be dangerous and costly. Nygone remover was created to resolve the issues related to the safe removal of cured polymer, resins, and conformal coatings. Nygone will effectively remove most coating products without part damage, thus allowing the user a safe and simple removal method. Many cleaning and removal products are being banned from the market due to harsh ingredients and toxicity levels. Current formulations on the market sometimes contain benzene mixtures using aromatic solvents. Aromatics are known to emit air pollutants and are toxic. Nygone removes coatings easily and without harsh toxic ingredients. There is a need in the market for coating removal compositions that are nontoxic and biodegradable, while having the strength to remove coatings from various surfaces, such as some metals, plastics, wood, and others substrates.

Coatings for Electrical Bonding Points
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.

Fungal Inoculation
Test Method Background and Study Timeline ASTM International, formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is an internationally recognized organization that develops and publishes product and testing standards. ASTM G21 is a qualitative test method designed to assess the ability of synthetic materials to resist fungal attack. The method is typically conducted over a 28-day period where treated materials are inoculated with a pooled suspension of fungal spores, incubated, then compared to untreated controls at intervals. The untreated controls serve as references for fungal resistance. A diverse array of fungal species are used in this method, so it is considered to be a good indicator of fungal resistance in a variety of environments.
