Dassault Includes ToughGuard's Paint Sealant in Mx Docs

ToughGuard Aero’s paint sealant product will be included as an approved product in Dassault Falcon’s maintenance documentation, including the Falcon Interactive Electronic Library.

“ToughGuard has been trusted by individual Falcon owners and managers for decades, and we’re very pleased to be officially approved by Dassault Aviation for use on these aircraft,” said ToughGuard owner Dan Reid. “It’s always reassuring to use products that are mentioned in the maintenance manuals, and we’re honored to be awarded this confidence by Dassault.”

Once a new Falcon is delivered, the aircraft is exposed to environmental factors that can affect its resale value. “Dassault Falcons retain value better than any other business jet. To be more precise, they retain up to 10 percent more than their closest competitors after 10 years, regardless of market conditions. Highly sought-after Falcons means they take less time to resell,” said Gene Clow, owner of Seattle-based broker Great Circle Aircraft. “First impressions are paramount, so the condition of the paint is always a factor in aircraft resale value.

Beaverton, Oregon-based ToughGuard has been providing paint sealant for the aviation, automotive, and marine industries since 1981.
