SKYscapes Basecoat adhesion promoter is a high performance, single component product that extends the basecoat non-sand overcoating window.

Andover, Kan. – SKYscapes™ Basecoat adhesion promoter is a high performance, single component product that extends the basecoat non-sand overcoating window. Designed exclusively for SKYscapes™, a new basecoat/clearcoat exterior paint system developed by Sherwin-Williams Aerospace, complements and further broadens the system’s already long - up to 72 hours - recoat time.

The new adhesion promoter is easy to mix and apply, with just a light (.2 or .3 mils) spray to create a chemical bond with the existing basecoat. No additional sanding is required as it eliminates the traditional mechanical bonding between basecoat and clearcoat.

The new adhesion promoter helps the SKYscapes basecoat-clearcoat system deliver faster processing time, more color application and easier maintenance than traditional single-stage systems. This allows aviation MRO facilities and their paint shops to augment production schedules and turnaround more paint jobs.
