Aircraft MRO erosion solutions

Over time rain, sand, small particulates and even strong wind can gradually break down the leading edge of an aircraft wing or rotor blade by wearing away outer layers of coatings and surfaces causing significant damage and repair events. Work to manage these issues with 3M.

Upshot of the bottom of a plane and it's landing gear.

Enhance erosion protection

Did you know?

According to University of Dayton Research Institute on Wright-Patterson Airforce Base, flying through the rain at 500 mph for just 11 minutes can wear away a layer of 12 mil paint and clear coating.*

Up to 5X longer lasting than industry-standard paint and coating
Operators and third-party MROs spend a lot of time repairing, and in some cases, replacing parts affected by erosion resulting in increased material and labor expenses. How can 3M help?
- Help reduce both the rate and extent of erosion and foreign object debris (FOD) damage
