Plastic Coating Uses for the Aerospace Industry

Multiple plastic resin formulations are suitable for coating parts used by the aerospace industry. Commonly used materials include:

• Plastisol
• Nylon
• Halar
• Polyester
• Epoxy



Each resin offers its own advantages and can be carefully selected for its specific capabilities, such as:

• Reducing friction and drag
• Resistance to oxidation and corrosion
• Chemical resistance
• Vibration and noise deadening
• UV resistance
• Color or texture
• Functionality such as softness, improved grip, or easy cleaning
• Moisture resistance
• Temperature tolerance and performance in extreme temperatures
• Electrical conductivity or non-conductivity
• Impact resistance

Commonly Coated Parts for the Aerospace Industry

Parts used in the aerospace industry require a high degree of performance and durability to meet the demands of the extreme environments in which they must work. Plastic coatings can offer both of these benefits, applied by dipping, spraying, or fluidized bed. The range of parts coated covers internal workings, controls, and interior and exterior fixtures. Some more commonly coated parts include:

• Handles
• Control wheels
• Bumpers
• Fasteners
• Trim pieces
• Valves
• Retainer clips
• Throttles
