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.

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.
