Every claim Aether makes is backed by published ASTM testing, independent laboratory results, and field deployment evidence. Below: the standards we test against and what we found.
Day 0: glass railing panels cleaned and an Aether coating applied to a single panel and the vertical windows. Day 2: overnight sandstorm. Day 3: photographed unretouched. The uncoated panels were nearly opaque. The coated panel looked freshly cleaned.
Field qualification of Aether Metal as a hex-chrome alternative on aluminum aircraft components. Salt-fog (ASTM B117), adhesion, and impact data exceeded MRO acceptance thresholds across multiple coupons over a multi-month observation period — with a single-coat application that fits standard aviation maintenance procedures.
A previously coated section retains its paint vivid color while the uncoated standard-finish section, even after a standard cleaning cycle, remains tarnished by diesel soot. Same self-cleaning principle as the Kuwait deployment, applied to painted surfaces.
We send full ASTM test reports, lab certificates, and field documentation to qualified buyers and engineering teams. Just ask.
