PPG Develops High Performance Coatings for Fighters

A groundbreaking new paint developed by PPG, a leading U.S. company in coatings and materials, has recently been successfully applied to the U.S. Air Force's F-16 fighter jet. This innovative coating system, known as PRC-DeSoto, is designed to enhance both the durability and appearance of military aircraft. The system consists of two key components: Desoprime HS CA7233, an advanced epoxy primer, and Desothane HS CA9800, a high-performance polyurethane topcoat. Together, they provide improved resistance to weathering, abrasion, and fading—especially for the standard colors used on Air Force aircraft, such as red, white, and blue. One of the major advantages of this coating system is that it eliminates the need for extensive surface preparation before applying the topcoat. This not only saves time but also reduces maintenance costs over the long term. The primer dries faster than traditional high-solids primers, while the topcoat offers flexibility in drying times, ranging from just two hours to up to 15 hours, depending on the application needs. This innovation marks a significant step forward in aerospace coatings, offering superior performance, efficiency, and aesthetics for military aviation. It’s a great example of how modern technology continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the field of defense and aerospace engineering.
