Sherwin-Williams Aerospace has added a new two-stage Radiance coat to its JetFlex Elite aircraft cabin coatings system. The new coating features a color-changing mica appearance that creates a softer, richer, and more sophisticated atmosphere in the cabin, according to the Kansas-based company (Booth 4863).
JetFlex Elite is designed for use in commercial and private aircraft interiors and easily applies to plastic, metal, and composite surfaces, and now features improved appearance and application features. Based off Boeing qualified technology (BMS-1083), it meets the most stringent requirements for stain and abrasion resistance. The line also offers options as a single-stage product for colors or a two-stage radiance coat system for whites and light colors.
The color tones have been inspired and derived from the company’s most popular interior design and architectural color lines. Sherwin-Williams’ new Interior Topcoat Selector and Fan Deck Set being showcased that NBAA include 40 single stage JetFlex Elite colors and 30 different two-stage radiance coat options, “just a sampling of the various color options available to paint aircraft seats, bins, galleys, lavatories, and trays,” according to the company. Responsive to LED lighting, the coatings create a subtle glow with highlights and colored shadows not seen with current interior cabin coatings, Sherwin-Williams said.
