CeRam-Kote in the Aviation Industry
CeRam-Kote 54®
was a natural choice to protect areas of the weapons’ bay of the F-22
Raptor.
Critical areas within the bay exposed to high heat and abrasion from
missile launches are now protected with
CeRam-Kote 54®.
CeRam-Kote 54® is a
thin-film, spray applied
and air cured ceramic epoxy system engineered to provide abrasion and
corrosion
protection to all metals, composites, plastics
and concrete. It resists caustics as well as most acids, petroleum
distillates and solvents. CeRam-Kote 54® is an environmentally compliant
material. It contains no lead, chrome or isocyanates and bears a VOC
rating of 1.63 lbs/gal or 198 g/l. This is well under EPA requirements
and makes it a very attractive alternative for aerospace, industrial and
support equipment as well as marine applications.
BF Goodrich Aerospace published a repair procedure mandating the use of CeRam-Kote 54® on several models of Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier aircraft engine cowl doors. Numerous commercial aircraft are utilizing the coating in a variety of other areas to include reverse thruster panel edges, aircraft main entry doors, landing gear door edges and other high abrasion and wind erosion areas.
