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.

Case Study
Coatings for Electrical Bonding Points
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.
Case Study
Protecting Label Plates
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.
Case Study
Protecting Aircraft Landing Gear from Runway Deicers
Protecting Aircraft Landing Gear from Runway Deicing Chemicals Airfield pavement deicing and anti-icing are essential activities to maintain safe winter operations of the aviation industry. Airfield pavement deicing products (PDPs) traditionally consisting of urea or glycols have become less popular due to environmental impacts. The New PDPs have emerged as alternatives that often contain Potassium Formate (KF) or Potassium Acetate (KAc) as freezing point depressant. Oxidation of aircraft landing gear, especially carbon-carbon composite brakes by modern PDPs have become a growing concern for the aircraft industry. Field reports increasingly suggest that contact with modern PDPs promote damage to aircraft components. Nycote 7-11 provides an excellent permanent safety barrier from extreme environments and can be used to coat and encapsulate aircraft landing gear parts. For example, Nycote 7-11 can be applied to wheel wells over other paint and coatings, providing a protective barrier against PDPs, which can later be wiped off of the coated surface.
