Case Study
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.

Protecting Aircraft Landing Gear from Runway Deicers
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.

Outgassing in Space
Coating Solutions for Extreme Space Environments Materials exposed to the extreme space environment must tolerate temperatures, gravity, radiation and pressure that are completely different to those on Earth. Coating and paint manufacturers must produce products to encapsulate parts and surfaces and to remain stable without outgassing (the release of molecules from the paints and coatings that can migrate onto sensitive equipment). Applications requiring protective paints and coatings must be launched and left in orbit for years, sometimes, without any opportunity to inspect or maintain it. The durability of sensitive components can be significantly enhanced by encapsulating it with Nycote 7-11 or Nycote-99 clear light-weight cross-linked hybrid polymer-nylon coatings.
