Polysilazane-based topcoat engineered for the aviation MRO and marine environments where hexavalent chromium is being phased out. ASTM-aligned salt fog and adhesion performance, low VOC, single-coat application over standard aluminum substrates.
The US sunset on hexavalent chromium has accelerated demand for compliant alternatives that hold up across aviation MRO cycles. Aether Metal is engineered for that specific transition — chemically bonded to the aluminum, durable in saltwater, and within standard MRO process windows.
Passes ASTM B117 salt-spray exposure with no underfilm corrosion across extended test windows. Engineered for marine and offshore deployment cycles.
Formulated to meet REACH and EPA constraints around legacy hex-chrome chemistries. Safer to handle in MRO shops, simpler to dispose of, easier to qualify.
Single-coat application, standard surface prep, reasonable cure schedule. Designed to drop into existing maintenance procedures without ripping up the line.
Independent ASTM testing for salt fog, adhesion, and impact resistance. Full TDS and MRO procedure available on request.
