PPG recently announced the launch of PPG SURFACE SEAL hydrophobic coating.
The newly formulated product is ultraviolet (UV) light-resistant, compatible with most aerospace cleaning and maintenance fluids and is REACH & EPA compliant.
Made for aerospace transparencies, Surface Seal hydrophobic coating is an industry-leading rain and water-shedding coating system designed for glass and anti-static coated glass windshields.
This product provides pilots with enhanced visibility during wet conditions, and if used as a replacement for a windshield-wiping system, Surface Seal can improve the fuel efficiency of an aircraft through weight reduction and aerodynamic improvement.
Aircraft operators can obtain this cost-effective and efficient visibility enhancement from PPG in one of three ways:
- Factory-supplied parts with Surface Seal coating for convenience and optimal service life;
- Standard Surface Seal coating application kits for field application and long service life;
- Quick Surface Seal coating application kit for fast and easy treatment.
