Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings Receives AMS Qualifications for Chrome-Free Commercial Aircraft Coatings Systems

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings has now received four AMS (Aerospace Material Specification) 3095B qualifications for its complete line of chrome-free systems for aircraft exterior coatings.

These latest qualifications demonstrate that these coatings systems, and all their component products, meet the industry standards for performance, durability and safety, and are available for all types of general, military/defense and commercial aircraft.

The AMS 3095 certification is targeted to the commercial aerospace MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overall) market.

The four complete chrome-free systems all utilize Sherwin-Williams products:

• CM0220P01 Jet Prep Pretreatment system, providing adhesion and corrosion protection
• Two new generation chrome-free primers—CM0483800 and CM0483810
• Options for its two premium topcoat products—single stage, Jet Glo Express Polyester Urethane and basecoat-clearcoat, 850 Series SKYscapes

"The approval of four new aerospace qualifications is a proud achievement that underscores our commitment to innovation, performance and sustainability,” says Julie Voisin, Sherwin-Williams, market segment manager, Aerospace.

“These qualifications highlight three major advantages: our custom-formulated chrome-free pretreatment, Jet Prep, which delivers outstanding corrosion resistance without compromising environmental standards; our next-generation chrome-free epoxy primers, which are one of the industry’s leaders in protective performance; and the availability of these technologies in our premium topcoat systems—both single-stage and basecoat-clearcoat—offering customers greater flexibility and finish quality,” Voisin continues.

“With these innovations and confirmed qualifications, Sherwin-Williams continues to set the standard for advanced aerospace coatings that meet the evolving demands of the industry,” concludes Voisin.
