AkzoNobel AERODUR-3001-G10009 (5-Ltr)

Additional Product Information

Overview

Aerodur® 3001 is a chemically cured, high-solids polyurethane base coat designed for aerospace exterior finishing in base coat / clear coat aircraft coating systems. Manufactured by AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings, this product is widely used in aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations to deliver uniform decorative appearance and long-term surface protection. Aviation teams rely on this coating for its fast curing response, excellent chemical resistance, and ability to reduce overall painting cycle time.

Why Aerodur® 3001 High Solids Base Coat is Chosen for AOG / MRO

• Rapid drying performance helps reduce aircraft ground time during AOG events
• High solids formulation improves hiding efficiency while minimizing coating weight
• Excellent chemical and weathering resistance supports long-term service reliability
• Flexible activator options allow adaptation to varying environmental painting conditions
• High gloss finish compatibility when used with Aerodur® 3002 clear coat system

Practical Suggestions for Your Team (AOG Mindset)

• Maintain inventory of base component and activators for emergency repair readiness
• Allow coating components to reach room temperature before mixing
• Prepare test panels when operating outside recommended temperature or humidity ranges
• Clean spray equipment immediately after application because the coating dries quickly
• Train technicians on correct activator selection based on ambient conditions
