General Chemical's
AEROSPACE strippable coatings dries to form a
contour-hugging skin-tight protective film.
AEROSPACE customers and others recognized the
value of protecting substrates during
fabrication, assembly and shipment. The tough
General Chemical's Peelable coating clear film
is still the best method of preventing scratches
and abrasions and strips cleanly away from the
surface leaving no residue. It will also act as
a maskant against paint overspray.
General Chemical Corp.'s line of chemical
milling maskants provides both solvent based
and UV Curable Masking Resins which are used
to allow aircraft manufacturers to chemical
mill small amount of metal from larger parts
to achieve weight savings. Maskants
protect the metal in areas not exposed to
the harsh chemical milling solutions.
They are designed for complete protection
from undercutting and are easily removed
after the chemical milling operation is
complete. Maskant is designed
primarily in the aerospace industry as this
process is uniquely suited to reducing
weight while maintaining strength on
aluminum parts.
General Chemical Corp. supply the
aviation industry with its coating UV
PeelMask UV_PeelMask masking resins are
available in burn-off, peelable, and water
soluble grades. The resins are easily
removed and leave the surface residue free
for CHEMICAL MILLING process and other
manufacturing . The tough peelable coating
resists the attack of aggressive chemicals
such as acids & alkalines. It provides
a clean edge to exposed metal areas for
chemical erosion.
Protective Peelable Coatings for Aircraft and
Aircraft Parts:
General
Chemical Corp. coatings have engineered
strippable coatings for s the aircraft
industry. Helicoat 1170 is protecting
Acrylic canopies and transparencies during
fabrication, assembly and shipment.
clear film formed by 1170 is the
best method of preventing scratches and
abrasions and strips cleanly away from the
surface leaving no residue. It will also act as
a maskant against paint overspray.
Preservation
System:
Our Peelable coatings are used for long
term preservation for the external storage
of airplane parts and equipment saving the
use of internal storage space
and also when they are loaded on
deck, protected from the corrosive elements
during the long sea voyage .
Similar applications apply to any components
that may be exposed to the elements for long
periods of time that would be affected by U.V.
degradation, acid rain or corrosion. The General Chemical Preservation System Peelable maskants are non toxic, non
flammable and the water borne skin tight film
will not damage plastic or painted surfaces.
Clay Modeling
Concept:
Stripcoat 4490AL is
solvent based Bright Silver Peelable coating for
prototypes in engineering design on clay models
and other substrates so the flaws can be found
easier. 4490AL is AEROSPACE Peelable masks an
international standard for designing prototypes
such as cars during designing and manufacturing
process
The General Chemical's temporary protective
coatings are water borne non-toxic and
non-hazardous products which is applied by
lamb’s wool roller. It peels away cleanly
leaving no residue and will not damage plastics
or painted surfaces.
General Chemical strippable coating is also used
to protect heavy traffic areas and sensitive
surfaces against staining and abrasion during
construction, storage and transport. Simply roll
on and peel off on completion. The tough film is
weather-resistant, UV and solvent resistant
Paint
Strippers : Aircraft Paint Removal Systems
General Chemical Corp.
offers extensive line of environmentally
advantaged paint strippers for use in the paint
removal of aircraft surfaces and parts. These
thixotropic paint strippers are designed to
cling to vertical surfaces thereby improving the
paint removal process. Our paint
removers are designed to remove aircraft
exterior paint finishes and primers when
inspecting and/or re-painting an aircraft.

I
am representing Air taxi. We are the largest
Twin otter Aircraft Operator in the world.
We are planning to use Helicoat 2630 on our
aircraft Wind screens.
Main Advantages:
Offers cost-effective protection during
storage, transport and fitting. A tough
weather-resistant film, withstands hazards ,
scratching and solvents overspray. It
removes cleanly without leaving residue.
Results in a reduction
of labor costs.
Once
cured, it provides an extremely
tough, uniform film thickness.
Curing
time can be cut considerably
with the use heat lamps (100F),
circulation of air and other
factors.

Safe...non flammable
Suitable
for all substrates including
polycarbonates, plastic and painted
surfaces
Standard air assisted,
or airless spray
equipment, Brush or
Roller (Use lambs wool
roller).
Using standard good
atomizing spray
equipment (eg. DeVilbiss
MBC gun, FF nozzle and
No 765 air cap) with
pressure feed, a 100
micron (0.004") film can
be applied to a vertical
surface in one coat.
Atomization pressure of
5ATM (75lbs/sq in) and
sufficient pot pressure
(0.3 ATM - 5lbs/sq in)
to obtain proper fluid
delivery is recommended.
Airless spray can also
be used such as Graco No
205-904 with a 163-168
insert and a 28:1 ratio
pump. Use water only for
cleaning spray
equipment. Drying can be
accelerated by
circulation of warm air
or infra red lamps.
Special
Instructions:
When spraying over
freshly lacquered or
re-enameled surfaces,
allow 24 for lacquer to
dry and allow full
enamel cure before
applying peelable
coatings. Be sure to
apply full film
thickness of 100 microns
(0.004"). On equipment
to be stored for many
months exposed to rain,
sun and snow, it is
recommended that a 200
micron (0.008") film of
Strippable coating be
applied in two coats,
drying one hour between
coats. This is a water
based compound and
should be protected from
freezing. Recommended
storage temperature is
10oC-32oC.
Try to avoid 'feather
edges' or areas where it
is applied thinly. In
order to achieve a
defined edge it may help
to apply masking tape,
roller up to and over
the tape and remove tape
while Our Peelable
coatings Peelable
coating is still wet.
Repair:
If the Our Peelable
coating film rips or
tears, the flap may be
lifted and resealed by
applying a fresh wet
coat to the underside
and resealing.
Alternatively, cut away
flap and re-apply fresh
coating, it will bond to
itself.
External Weather
Resistance:
Long-term exposure to
sunlight will cause
premature deterioration
and brittleness of the
film. Exposure to water
after the film is dried
will soften the film but
it will recover once it
dries. Avoid traffic
over the wet or while
the film is wet. If
components are to be
stored externally for
several weeks we
recommend the
application of acrylic
topcoat which will
protect for 12 months
and more.
Drying Time:
It is critical that Our
Peelable coating film is
allowed to cure dry.
Drying time will vary
according to humidity,
temperature and weather
condition. The
evaporation of water
will be speeded by air
movement and warmth
supplied by natural and
mechanical means.
Adhesion:
Our Peelable coatings is
a temporary protective
Peelable coating and
adhesion is low.
Process:
Our Peelable coatings
once completely dry are
resistant to water and
solvent and acts as a
mask against sprayed
emulsion paints,
lacquers, oil or grease
and water.
Removal:
The dry Our Peelable
coatings strippable
coating film can be
easily removed either by
hand stripping or other
means. Our Peelable
coatings are
thermoplastic. Do not
try to remove in
freezing conditions. Our
Peelable coatings
becomes brittle in
freezing condition.
Clean Up:
Our Peelable coating is
a water-based product
and you can clean spray
equipment and brushes
with water. Do this
immediately before
peelable coating starts
to dry.
Coverage:
One liter will cover
approximately 4 square
meters at a dry film
thickness of 100
microns. You can also
use following chart to
calculate in mil
