Nycote® automotive coatings provide high-performing long-lasting nylon-epoxy encapsulation for surfaces that are vulnerable and hard to access. Nycote coatings can be used as a coating or sealant to provide the strength and flexibility required for critical parts exposed to harsh environments. Applications in areas such as door seals, panel seals, ducting seals, and sealing compartments, electronic components, and circuitry, as well as parts vulnerable to excessive vibration.

Nycote Laboratories Corp. founder and CEO Lloyd Washburn purchases one-of-a-kind nylon polymer epoxy coating from an aerospace scientist. It is subsequently placed on original equipment manufacturers’ approval list.

Other Applications

Nycote aerospace coatings are used across aircraft in applications such as electrical bondings, lap joints, avionics, wire-harness assemblies, light housings, wing flaps, plumbing, radomes, galley connectors, and entertainment systems. Identification plates from corrosion, as well as actuators, hydraulic systems, and fuel systems. In addition, Nycote coatings reduce friction and wear while providing interior protection for textiles, plastics, and metals.

Electrical Bonding Points in Aircraft Structures Aircraft structures contain numerous electrical bonding points. These are used to ground static electricity from non-metallic components such as radomes, provide an earth path for lightning strikes, and a current return path for electricity.* They’re essential for electrical safety and must be preserved in good condition.

Protection of Aerospace Part Markings and Labels Aerospace components and aircraft are individually identified by part markings applied by ink (by pen and inkjet printers) and by fixed labels and plates. It is essential that the identification remains legible throughout the life of the equipment and is not removed by service fluids or environmental conditions. Nycote products provide the perfect transparent protective coating and are approved by Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer for this application.

The Rise of Fiber-Reinforced Composites in Advanced Manufacturing Industrial materials are facing a paradigm shift now that composites are replacing many metallic and ceramic materials. Although manufacturers prefer well-known metallics, industries, such as aerospaceand automotive, require lighter weight options with high material performance capabilities, increased corrosion resistance, and increased load and fatigue capacity. Considering corrosion related expense accounts for 3.5% of the global gross domestic product, innovative companies are turning to composites to solve traditional material limitations. Processing conditions for composites and polymers are much more energy-efficient and labor friendly compared to that of metallic materials. Ceramic materials are beneficial for high-temperature applications, however, they lack the flexural strength and tend to crack and dis-bond over time. Fiber reinforced composites are becoming the desired product for the transportation industry where fuel savings and environmental concerns are a priority. Composite material innovations are of critical precedence for aerospace, automotive and marine manufacturers, but they also play an important role in energy sectors, where composites are adding significant value to applications such as wind turbine blades, energy storage tanks, and restoring present pipelines. Four Groups of Fiber-Reinforced Composites:
