3 Benefits of Implementing BluSky Armor® UV Clear Coating in Your Aircraft Interiors
- BluSky Armor® is easy to prepare and apply. It is a single-stage product, requiring no mixing of catalysts, reducers, FR additives, or accelerants. It is composed of 100% solids, meaning there is no loss of material from off-gassing of the solvent carriers as with traditional clear coatings. And, it means there is no “orange peel” to sand off between coats.
- BluSky Armor® provides a superior layer of protection to prevent surface damage from scratches, chips, and impacts on aircraft cabin surfaces. Its advanced polymer formula offers improved adherence to surface finishes and its fully cross-linked profile eliminates cracking and crazing of the clear coat in service.
- The clear coat technology of BluSky Armor® provides streamlined project completion times and reduced materials costs. Where most solvent based lacquers and coatings require hours or a day of curing time before additional coats can be applied, this UV-cured clear coating fully cures “tack-free” in just two minutes.
The clear coat technology we provide is completely solvent-free. There is no off-gassing of solvent carriers, no hazardous airborne products (HAPs), and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to contaminate the spray booth or outside air. And, it provides a safer shop environment by eliminating harmful gases in the spray booth.
Here’s the advantage, the process time for finishing or refinishing a set of cabinets is reduced by weeks. This means your customer’s aircraft can be returned to service faster for them to enjoy or employ, and you reap the benefit of a shorter turnaround time, giving you additional days to book more business and earn a premium for faster RTS.
What Aircraft Interior Materials Can BluSky Armor® Clear Coat Be Used On?
BluSky Armor® UV-cured clear coat can be utilized as a protective finish for multiple interior cabinetry and surface applications. For the wood finishing and aerospace industries, clear coating can be applied to various materials and surface types including:
- Wood Veneers
- Vinyl Wraps
- Hydrographic Printed Parts and Surfaces
- Painted Panels
This advanced surface coating can also be used to protect painted exterior finishes and critical applications, such as waterproofing radomes. The manufacturer has recently developed a formulation that can be applied as a protective coating to fine metallic plated or anodized components as well.
How Long Does BluSky Armor® Clear Coat Last on Aircraft Interiors?
BluSky Armor® chemistry is unique in its formulation, and when cured with UV lighting, it forms an incredibly strong matrix of cross-linked polymers. This chemistry has the ability to expand and contract, adapting to extreme changes in air pressure, temperature, and humidity. This prevents cracking, crazing, and yellowing over time, allowing the finish to retain its like-new appearance for many years of service.
