A composition and process for manufacturing a camouflaged aircraft component. The process includes providing an aircraft component; applying an uncured coating onto the aircraft component wherein the uncured coating comprises polysilazane resin, at least one pigment, at least one matting agent, and at least one diluent; allowing the diluent to evaporate; curing the coating to provided a cured coating that comprises cured polysilazane, at least one pigment, and at least one matting agent.

Polysilazane coatings

This invention concerns an epoxy coating for use as a non-skid surface for applications such as the deck of an aircraft carrier. The epoxy coating can be formulated from (a) an amine curing agent, (b) an epoxide-containing toughening agent such as a polysulfide and/or a polythioether, (c) an epoxy resin, (d) a rubber toughening agent, and (e) an optional fire retardant, a glass fiber thixotrope and impact toughening agent, an optional pigment, an optional corrosion inhibitor, an optional moisture penetration inhibitor, an optional ultraviolet light stabilizer, an optional abrasive aggregate, or a combination thereof.

An ultraviolet (UV) light curable formulation useful for repairing composite materials, comprising: an acrylic oligomer, an acrylic monomer, and a photoinitiator. This formulation may include fiberglass. The photoinitiator can be a combination of a bis-acylphosphine oxide and an alpha hydroxy ketone. The formulation can cure rapidly, such as in about 20 minutes. The cured formulation can have a Tabove 150&#xb0; C.

Epoxy coating

This invention concerns an acrylate adhesive that cures at room temperature and has excellent dimensional stability. The adhesive may be used in applications such as for fiber optic connectors. The adhesive may be made by curing a two-part system or by use of a primer-based system. The two part system may include an adhesive part A, which may include one or more monofunctional, difunctional, or trifunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomers, a peroxide or hydroperoxide free-radical initiator, an antioxidant, and optionally, additives such as thickeners, thixotropes, and adhesion promoters; and an activator part B, which may contain a N,N-disubstituted aromatic amine, a difunctional methacrylate monomer, an antioxidant, and optionally, additives such as thickeners, thixotropes, and adhesion promoters.
