AkzoNobel’s aerospace coatings facility in Dongguan, China, has been qualified by aircraft manufacturer Boeing to color blend the company’s “Aerodur 3001” basecoat.
Hence, the site has been certified by Boeing to blend AkzoNobel’s industry-leading basecoat/clearcoat system locally in China with OEM approval. The Dongguan facility is also now listed on Boeing’s official QPL for BMS10-72 specification. This is an important milestone for the facility, which opened in 2017 to specifically serve the North and South Asian aviation market and deliver cutting-edge technologies faster and more reliably.
One of the key benefits of the innovative basecoat/clearcoat system is that it dries faster and retains its color and gloss significantly longer than single stage coatings. It also offers superior chemical and stain resistance, flexibility and weathering performance.
