Nuvite Introduces Corrosion Blocker for Leading Edges, Window Trim, Inlet Rings

Nuvite Chemical Compounds, a leader in appearance maintenance products, continues to meet industry-specific needs with Skyde Clear, the latest, most advanced, hard-coat protective sealant to enter the aviation aftermarket. Specifically engineered for bare metal surfaces, Skyde Clear is a proven, long-lasting corrosion blocker for aircraft leading edges, window trim, inlet rings, in fact, any bare metal surface.

Its polymeric resin formula relies on micro-technology to penetrate the substrate’s natural aluminum oxide layer.

“By filling surface pores and leveling peaks, Skyde Clear seals to a smooth hydrophobic barrier, both moisture resistant and stone-hard,” explains Cliff Lester, Executive Director of Nuvite Chemical Compounds. “Surface finish is not only preserved, but air flow over treated areas is optimized, assuring better flight efficiency and safety.” While the ultra-thin, polymeric-resin coating is stone-hard, it’s also flexible enough to meet the challenges of inflight conditions and remarkably, adds no weight. Best of all, aircraft performance is optimized, while Skyde Clear maintains the luster of bare metal much longer than any competitive product.

Nuvite Chemical Compounds is a division of Universal Photonics Incorporated, itself a manufacturer and distributor of critical surfacing and polishing consumables and technology to the precision optics industry worldwide. For more than 65 years, Nuvite's been supporting the aviation / aerospace industry with a quality line of advanced products that includes compounds, polishes, and sealants for bright work and paint care, cleaners for exterior and interior care, along with complementing, professional-level equipment & accessories.
