  • Non-toxic
  • Long pot life with stable viscosity
  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Excellent spraying characteristics
  • Outstanding chemical resistance
  • Excellent adhesion to aluminum, steel, galvanized, stainless, composites and some plastics
  • Fast drying (Can be force dried)

Starpoxy™ 420 Low Chromate

  • Excellent anti corrosion properties
  • Long pot life
  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Excellent spraying characteristics
  • Outstanding solvent and Skydrol resistance
  • Excellent adhesion to aluminum, steel, galvanized, stainless and some plastics
  • Fast Drying (Can be forced dry)

Aerospace Topcoats

Starathane™ 620

  • Tough, time‑proven coating used worldwide by major manufacturers
  • Excellent depth‑of‑image and gloss
  • Superb corrosion resistance
  • Excellent spraying characteristics

Starathane™ 670

  • Low VOC levels = Reduced regulatory burdens
  • Long pot life = Less waste, fewer mixings
  • Easy learning curve = Lower training costs
  • Fast drying = Faster production cycle times
  • No induction time = Faster cycle times, less labour cost
  • Easy to blend = Reduced labour cost
  • Outstanding performance = Better finish & improved product

Starathane HIHIDE™ 670

  • Low VOC levels = Reduced regulatory burdens
  • Long pot life = Less waste, fewer mixings
  • Easy learning curve = Lower training costs
  • Fast drying = Faster production cycle times
  • No induction time = Faster cycle times, less labour cost
  • Easy to blend = Reduced labour cost
  • Outstanding performance = Better finish & improved product
  • Higher Opacity = lower film build at full opacity means lower weight aircraft

Starblok 640

  • Low VOC levels = Reduced regulatory burdens
  • Long pot life = Less waste, fewer mixings
  • Easy learning curve = Lower training costs
  • Fast drying = Faster production cycle times
  • No induction time = Faster cycle times, less labour cost
  • Easy to blend = Reduced labour cost
  • Outstanding performance = better quality & improved product

Starcron™ 570

  • Reduced hazard level (Iso-Free)
  • Excellent spraying characteristics
  • Fast dry can easily be handled soon after coating
  • VOC compliant
  • Outstanding wet look gloss is easily achieved in all colours.
  • Excellent gloss retention when exposed to UV
  • Can be applied using conventional, electrostatic, or HVLP spray equipment. Over properly prepared epoxy primed surface, apply a light wet coat, followed in 15 minutes tack up period, by a full wet coat to give a wet film thickness of 1.0 - 1.5 mil.
  • Great corrosion resistance over primer
  • Can be used with phenolic or epoxy primer

Starlac™ 110

  • Produces hard, tough, protective coating
  • Convenient as a tamper-proof torque seal indicating coating
  • Very fast drying
  • Excellent spraying characteristics
  • Exhibits good adhesion to a variety of substrates
  • Phthalate free
  • Chromate-Free
  • Led-Free
  • HAPS-Free

Starpoxy™ 410

  • Long pot life with stable viscosity
  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Excellent spraying characteristics
  • Outstanding solvent and Skydrol resistance
