Aviox CF Primer: a new generation primer for aircraft maintenance

Abstract

Repainting aircraft is a laborious and time‐consuming process, involving stripping, surface preparation and then painting. It is possible to distinguish two different systems for aircraft re‐painting, owing to their prime application area, referred to as the “European System” and the “USA System”. Examines these two systems and discusses the health and environmental aspects, along with their level of corrosion protection. Examines the properties of a new binder system, referred to as the KETAC‐System. As a result of the formulation of this new binder a new primer system was developed. The development of this primer , known as Aviox CF Primer, was carried out in close co‐operation with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the results of which are reviewed.
