PPG Aerospace is a leading supplier of transparencies, sealants, coatings, paint removers and cleaners, chemical management and packaging, offering the most comprehensive range of materials available from a single source to airframe manufacturers, and airline operators. We supply advanced products to all the commercial, regional, general aviation and military customer segments.

AIRCRAFT SEALANTS

PRC® and Pro-Seal™ sealants seal the structures of most of the world’s aircraft. The industry’s most comprehensive range of sealants for aircraft structures includes products for fuel tanks, aerodynamic sealing, interfay sealant and windshield installation. Local application support centres provide Semkit® packages, premixed and frozen sealant, and innovative custom sealant solutions such as PRC® seal caps and PRC® FIP strip sealant that offer time, labour and quality benefits.

AIRCRAFT COATINGS AND PAINT STRIPPERS AND CLEANERS

Thousands of aircraft worldwide are decorated and protected by Desothane® HS topcoat. PPG’s global flagship coating, it is the only low-VOC topcoat approved by both Boeing and Airbus. Aircraft manufacturers, airlines and maintenance operations rely on PPG’s complete line of aircraft coatings from primers for composite and metallic airframes to topcoats in standard, metallic and mica colours. Innovative Selectively Strippable Systems combine long-term performance with efficient topcoat removal for repainting.

Eldorado maintenance chemicals are now produced by PPG. These well-known environmentally friendly products include paint and coating removers, US military approved products and interior and exterior aircraft cleaners.

TRANSPARENCIES AND WINDSHIELDS

More commercial, military and business aviation pilots fly behind our windshields than any other. Design capabilities include glass, acrylic and polycarbonate substrates with advanced-technology coatings and liners for specific performance characteristics, heating systems to meet flight requirements, edge attachments for load-carrying capabilities and interlayers that adhere structural plies. PPG advancements include Herculite® technology that revolutionized windshield weight and service life.
