WHAT ADVANTAGES OF FLIGHTSHIELD REACTIVE POLYMER?

Hey! We're glad you asked. There's alot, so here we go!

PAINT PROTECTION

FlightShield Reactive Polymer protects your aircraft paint by providing a barrier to harmful things like climate extremes, UV rays, deicing fluid, dirt and bugs. The coatings cure and bond to the painted surface creating a long lasing and durable finish. It's super easy to apply and fast!

ENHANCED APPEARANCE

Flight Shield's ultra high-gloss finish is unmatched by any other product in the industry. Your aircraft's appearance will benefit from the shine and luster that our Reactive Polymer delivers day in and day out. Even freshly painted aircraft can expect a dramatic increase in paint gloss levels.

PAINT LIFE EXTENSION
FlightShield greatly extends the life of aircraft paint by repelling harmful contaminants that would otherwise degrade it; giving your paint the longest life possible. Aircraft that are treated with FlightShield coatings can expect to extend the life of the paint by double or more!

PAINT REVITALIZATION
Flight Shield's paint revitalization process removes oxidation and contaminants to restore the aircraft's appearance while eliminating the high cost of repainting.

REDUCED CLEANING EXPENSE
FlightShield reduces cleaning expenses by repelling contaminants like dirt, oil, exhaust stains, deicing fluid and bugs. Simply put, the aircraft will stay cleaner for longer and thereby reduce cleaning costs.

OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE
FlightShield optimizes aircraft performance by improving laminar flow, reducing coefficient of friction and by keeping the aircraft cleaner which in turn reduces drag saving fuel.

                                                                                                                                   ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
FlightShield is better for the environment because it saves water by reducing the number of cleanings by half.  It also reduces the amount of pollutants that could enter waterways from washing by keeping the aircraft cleaner for longer. Furthermore, Aircraft Operators who use Flight Shield's dry-wash system completely eliminate the need for water to keep their aircraft clean. 

FLIGHTSHIELD REACTIVE POLYMER APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

​Important Note Prior to Applying Flight Shield Polymer-

The painted surface needs to be in a like new condition, without dust, fuel, grease, grime, salt, wax and silicone residues. The surface must also be thoroughly clean.

 

• Shake the bottle before applying Flight Shield Polymer. Flight Shield Polymer will have a noticeable change in viscosity at variant temperatures and may not flow from the bottle during cooler temperatures. This can be resolved by lightly warming the bottles with a hair dryer or storing the bottles in an area 72 degrees F. or warmer.

• Using a hand applicator pad, apply a thin and even layer of Flight Shield Polymer to the surface. We recommend a 5 ft. by 5 ft. section or smaller.

• Using an orbital polisher and a clean foam pad or terry cloth bonnet, work the product in both directions (left and right) and in the perpendicular up-and down pattern ensuring that every part of the surface has been worked evenly from every direction. You can also apply by hand using a foam applicator pad and a circular hand motion. The product will not haze up like a traditional wax and will stay slightly fluid and wet on the surface. This is normal as the curing process takes place.

• Remove residue of the product with a microfiber bonnet placed on the orbital polisher. If residue still persists then hand wipe the area with a clean microfiber using a circular motion.

• Repeat the above steps for the next section of the aircraft while slightly overlapping the previous section to ensure complete coverage.

• Verify that no product residue is left on the surface. The coating will continue to cure over the next 12 hours. Avoid flying the aircraft or getting the aircraft wet for at least 12 hours after the application.
