Permeation Control
Nycote’s advanced protective coatings are specifically engineered to deliver exceptional permeation control, creating a seamless barrier that prevents the absorption or passage of moisture, gases, and chemicals. Ideal for aerospace, defense, and other high-performance industries, our coatings protect critical components from fuel, hydraulic fluids, and corrosive agents that can degrade performance over time. By sealing surfaces at a microscopic level, Nycote coatings extend component life, maintain structural integrity, and reduce maintenance costs. Trusted by OEMs and MROs worldwide, Nycote provides reliable permeation protection in the most demanding operational environments.

Protecting Laboratory Glassware
Protection of Laboratory Glassware Laboratory glassware is required by pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, research labs, quality control sites and testing facilities. When lab glass breaks it causes damage from small cuts to serious health risks. To mitigate risks and increase safety, a layer of liquid plastic or powdered plastic is usually applied to the outer surface.

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.

Using Fiber-Reinforced Composites
The Rise of Fiber-Reinforced Composites in Advanced Manufacturing Industrial materials are facing a paradigm shift now that composites are replacing many metallic and ceramic materials. Although manufacturers prefer well-known metallics, industries, such as aerospaceand automotive, require lighter weight options with high material performance capabilities, increased corrosion resistance, and increased load and fatigue capacity. Considering corrosion related expense accounts for 3.5% of the global gross domestic product, innovative companies are turning to composites to solve traditional material limitations. Processing conditions for composites and polymers are much more energy-efficient and labor friendly compared to that of metallic materials. Ceramic materials are beneficial for high-temperature applications, however, they lack the flexural strength and tend to crack and dis-bond over time. Fiber reinforced composites are becoming the desired product for the transportation industry where fuel savings and environmental concerns are a priority. Composite material innovations are of critical precedence for aerospace, automotive and marine manufacturers, but they also play an important role in energy sectors, where composites are adding significant value to applications such as wind turbine blades, energy storage tanks, and restoring present pipelines.
