Type IV of MIL-PRF-85285 represents a technological advancement over Type I, as the resins used in the production of the paint improve the overall performance of the applied film.
The main improvement is greater resistance to external environments. In particular, AERODUR 5000 withstands solar radiation while preserving its colorimetric properties for a longer time, maintaining the customer’s chosen color over time.
AERODUR 5000
This feature leads to additional benefits, listed below:
UV Resistance
It withstands the G-155 test for 2000 hours. This test is performed using a specific machine equipped with a Xenon Arc lamp that simulates natural solar aging in an accelerated manner, allowing for a relatively quick evaluation of color retention performance.
Greater Scratch Resistance
Thanks to a different resin that creates a tighter and more compact network, the finish—especially the matte one—is more resistant to light scratches.
Ease of Cleaning
With a more cohesive film, standard cleaning operations are more effective in removing dirt deposited on the surface.
Aesthetic Effect
Last but not least, the finish—especially the matte one—is visually more appealing due to its more uniform distribution once dried.
