Our Products and Services A unique group of products and services comprises the PPG Aerospace portfolio. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, PPG has assembled a team of industry leaders that builds on its own long history as a transparencies aviation leader, with PRC-DeSoto International for sealants, coatings, and packaging and application systems; Sierracin/Sylmar Corp. for advanced composite transparencies; and Eldorado Chemicals for paint removal and cleaning. Through this exceptional team, PPG is able to deliver what is key to excelling in the aviation industry: innovation.
More commercial, military and business aviation pilots fly behind our windshields than any other. Design capabilities include glass, acrylic and polycarbonate substrates with advanced-technology coatings and liners for specific performance characteristics, heating systems to meet flight requirements, edge attachments for load-carrying capabilities and interlayers that adhere structural plies. PPG advancements include technology that revolutionized windshield weight and service life.
PRC® and Pro-Seal™ sealants seal the structures of most of the world’s aircraft. The industry’s most comprehensive range of sealants for aircraft structures includes products for fuel tanks, protecting aircraft mating surfaces and sealing aircraft windshields. Local Application Support Centers provide Semkit® packages, premixed and frozen sealant, and innovative custom sealant solutions such as PRC® seal caps and PRC® FIP Strip sealant that offer time and labor savings with quality advantages.
Thousands of aircraft worldwide are colored and protected by Desothane® HS topcoat. PPG’s global flagship coating, it is the only high-solids, low-VOC topcoat approved by both Boeing and Airbus. Aircraft manufacturers, airlines and maintenance operations rely on PPG’s complete line of aircraft coatings from primers for composite and metallic airframes to topcoats in standard, metallic and mica colors. Innovative Selectively Strippable Systems combine long-term performance with efficient topcoat removal for repainting.
Eldorado maintenance chemicals are now available from PPG. These well-known environmentally friendly products include paint and coating removers, military approved products, interior and exterior cleaners and fuel-tank desealer.
PPG Total Service Solutions is a turnkey outsourcing program for chemical and fluid management, process management and logistics through their life cycle. PPG integrates and takes over key functions for the chemical logistics supply chain, freeing aircraft manufacturers and airlines from the time-consuming chemicals management task and in turn reduce their associated costs.
