Sherwin Williams JETFLEX-L-BAC70234 (3.3-Ltr-Tin)

Additional Product Information

Overview

This two-component solvent-based polyurethane enamel is engineered for the finishing and refinishing of aircraft cabin and cockpit components. Commonly used across commercial, military, and business aviation platforms, it provides a durable, lightweight interior coating solution for plastic and metal substrates. MRO teams rely on it for consistent finish quality, regulatory alignment, extended pot life, and reliable in-service performance in high-traffic interior environments.
