Aerospace - Where Lightweight Design Meets Lasting Performance

AkzoNobel Aerospace Films deliver Class-A aesthetics and durable protection for cabin interior surfacing and structural applications. Our innovative paint films open-up design freedom, eliminating complexity of paint shops for premium aesthetics on plastics, metals and composites.

A Cleaner Route to a Painted Surface

Eliminate paint shop complexity. AkzoNobel Aerospace Films provide:

• Design freedom while avoiding the costs and complexity of a liquid paint system
• Low-VOC/solvent reduction compared with conventional wet painting
• Uniform color and gloss with controlled film build
• Repeatable results, part after part
• Integration of decoration into production, resulting in fewer process steps, less re-work risk, and improved efficiency
• Easier scaling and improved consistency vs. traditional paint lines
• Our films meet FAR standards for Flame, Smoke, and Toxicity (when applied to compatible substrates).

Better Design Down the Runway

AkzoNobel Aerospace Films are engineered and tested to perform. Our proprietary portfolio of films each meet standards and certification for weathering/UV, gloss retention, color shift, scratch/abrasion, mar resistance, chemical stain resistance, adhesion and formability performance.

Applications Limited Only by Your Imagination

• For thermoplastics, select composites, aluminum/steel, and hybrid stacks
• Cross-material compatibility (plastic, metal, composites)
• One finish platform for multi-material architectures
