Paints & Coatings
Paints and coatings for aircraft and defence systems: primers and surfacers, topcoats, thinners, hardeners and activators, chemical conversion coatings and surface preparation, conductive and specialty coatings, fuel tank coatings, conformal coatings and torque seal. Most products are from PPG Aerospace, alongside Bonderite, Dykem, AkzoNobel and Nycote. MABAYCO is an authorised distributor for PPG Aerospace and Nycote. In aerospace, the paint system is defined by specification: MIL-PRF-23377 for epoxy primers, MIL-PRF-85285 for polyurethane topcoats, MIL-DTL-5541 for conversion coatings and BMS 10-11 for Boeing applications are among the most requested. Primer, topcoat and thinner belong to one system; component matching is given in the TDS.

Questions we are asked most
Do primer and topcoat need to come from the same system?
In aerospace, primer, topcoat and thinner are usually qualified as a system. Staying within the system specified in OEM or maintenance documentation is recommended; component matching is in the TDS.
Why do mix ratio and pot life matter?
Two-component paints are mixed with hardener, and thinner where required, at the ratio given in the TDS, then applied within the pot life. An incorrect ratio compromises cure and durability.
What does a chemical conversion coating do?
It improves corrosion resistance on aluminium and prepares the surface for paint adhesion. Under MIL-DTL-5541, Type I contains hexavalent chromium and Type II does not.
