AFRL-led aircraft coating project awarded as top-100 innovative technology
Test specimens are prepared for coating with the Aerocron® 2100 Electrocoat Primer during a recent demonstration at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This water-based, chrome-free primer offers protection comparable to chrome-based coatings, while curing at a lower temperature than conventional automotive and industrial Electrocoats, making it possible to electrocoat aluminum alloys without affecting their physical properties.
