PPG aerospace coatings topcoat desothane basecoat clearcoat

Aircraft maintenance professionals face the pressing challenge of preparing for high demand in the aerospace industry. This demand is twofold, stemming from the pent-up backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the projected surge in aircraft production over the next two decades. Meeting these expectations and capitalizing on the wave of demand requires finding a solution quickly. Additionally, the need to expedite the process of applying basecoat and clearcoat is crucial to clear backlogs, meet production deadlines, and reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG). Integrating a new system seamlessly into existing tools, ensuring minimal employee training, and meeting regulatory requirements and sustainability goals further compound the challenges faced by these professionals.

Desothane® HD/CA 9008 basecoat/clearcoat system by PPG Aerospace provides superior color coverage of the basecoat and high-gloss clear topcoat affords attractive aesthetics. The Desothane® HD system provides faster processing time and weight savings for reduced fuel costs.
