New Composite Surfacers Introduced by Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings

Dec. 30, 2015
Filling the Need for Today’s Advanced Composite Substrates, these Prep Products’ Quick Drying Benefits Increase Shop Productivity by Reducing Process Time.

Andover, Kan. – Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings provides an extensive lineup of exterior and interior composite surfacer products. Both sets of filler products are available in either a gray or white finish and offer extremely fast-drying characteristics. This significantly improves productivity and with an available accelerated reducer, aircraft parts can be forced dried in just 20 minutes.

Whether painting an entire aircraft or small parts, these composite filling products are ideal as they easily build thickness and are also easy to sand. The exterior composite surfacers (CM0481030 – gray; CM0481035 – white), are high quality two-component urethane products that provide excellent gloss holdout, resistance to film shrinkage, versatility and flexibility.

Depending on the applied surface, different rules apply with advanced composites and noncomposites. As opposed to aluminum substrates where the primer’s role is to protect against corrosion, composite surfacers need to fill in the carbon weave in preparation to receive the topcoat finish. Intended for use on composite for the aircraft’s exterior and interior parts, Sherwin-Williams composite fillers are ideal to fill and cover surface imperfections resulting in a smooth surface.

These composite surfacer products provide versatile performance: they double as a primer and a surfacer so aircraft painters can eliminate costly steps in the painting process. This key result means they decrease the amount of time needed to complete a project. The JetFlex® interior composite surfacers (CM0981030 – gray; CM0981035 – white), are intended for use on interior composites for aircraft and parts and are ideal to fill and cover while providing excellent spreadability. Another important feature, they also meet the heat release requirements of FAA FAR 25.853.
