UV, Rain Repelling Hydrophobic Coating for Rotor Blade Erosion Protection:

  • Molecularly hydrophobic and rain repelling, 100% PVDF FLUOROSEAL® coating is ideal for epoxy-fiber composite erosion protection.
  • Intrinsically UV resistant with built-in UV blocking capability, FLUOROSEAL® coating is engineered to ensure long-term rotor blade erosion protection.
  • UV Blocking and Resistant to Prevention
Epoxy Laminate is Highly Susceptible to Molecular Damage when Exposed to UV from Sunshine.

“UV radiation causes photooxidative degradation which results in breaking of the polymer chains, produces free radical and reduces the molecular weight, causing deterioration of mechanical properties and leading to useless materials”   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4320144/

FLUOROSEAL® PVDF top coating applied directly onto the epoxy-fiber laminate composite or applied on top of polyurethane or other top coating provides the same UV blocking capability with its inherent UV resistance for preventing the molecular damages of the epoxy resin.

  • Hydrophobicity to Repel Rain-Snow Impact

AIT FLUOROSEAL® PVDF is molecularly and intrinsically hydrophobic. With engineered crosshatch 5B adhesion on epoxy and metal structures, as top coating, it helps to minimize the direct rain impact in causing erosion.
