HIPEC® Introduction
HIPEC® coated fabric covered aircraft have been flying since 1964.
Some are aerobatic aircraft, some with wing loading of over 12 psf; some kept
outside in intense summer sun, to -50° Celsius winter cold, and in dry or
damp climates. No matter what the ordeal!
HIPEC® coatings
withstand terrible abuse with hardly a blemish. Top coats retain their gloss
and flexibility indefinitely. All primers and top coats cover 75 sq.ft / qt /
coat. When dry, weight per coat is 1.2 lbs/ 100 sq.ft. for primers and most
colors. White top coat is 1.5 lbs / 100 sq.ft.
The HIPEC®
FINISHING SYSTEM includes everything you need:
- Preps
- Coatings
- Sealers
- Sun
Barrier
- Adhesives
- Wet
Look or Low Gloss
Benefits:
- Smoother
airflow over wing, so better performance of your aircraft.
- Continuous
fabric attachment to rib capstrips, instead of intermittent attachment
(typical for ribstitching or riveting), so there is a more even loading
of ribs on your aircraft.
- Stronger
ribs because no holes are drilled into ribs.
- Less
labor required - riveting, ribstitching and taping are eliminated.
- Lighter
weight and lower cost to you as rivets, reinforcing tapes, surface tapes
and extra coating to fill tapes are not required.
- Only
1 to 3 coats are required.
- Clean
appearance and lighter weight, enable better performance for your
aircraft.
- Easier
to patch with pre-coated patches and other techniques.
Proven:
- Lab
tested to 60° Celsius (140° Fahrenheit) in intense UV light and to a
pressure of 120 psf with NO
FABRIC RELEASE FROM RIBS!
How to apply the
HIPEC® FINISHING SYSTEM
It's
easy - with just 6 simple steps you have an incredible professional finish:
1. Prepare aluminum
structures by aluminum cleaning, alodine treatment and apply a HIPEC®
PRIMER, or prepare steel by sandblasting, abrading or chemical cleaning, then
coat with a HIPEC® PRIMER, or prepare wood structure by sealing
with HIPEC® CLEAR or HIPEC® SUN BARRIER.
2. Apply heat shrink
polyester fabric onto structure and secure around perimeter with HIPEC®
ATTACH GLOO (HAG).
3. Tauten fabric with
household iron.
4. Brush on one coat of
HIPEC® SUN BARRIER - it will soak through fabric and adhere fabric
to structure.
5. For heavy duty or deluxe
coating, spray on one coat of HIPEC® SUN BARRIER or HIPEC®
PRIMER SEALER.
6. Finally, spray on one
coat HIPEC® TOP COAT color.
Job’s done!! There are
techniques for concave surfaces, fluted metal ribs, metallic color
applications, etc.
