MAS Bulletin. Stoneguard 2000 Erosion Resistant Film

Abstract

Fasson UK Limited is marketing a pressure sensitive adhesive-coated, polyurethane-based film designed to protect surfaces from abrasion, erosion, and corrosion. It provides resistance to rain droplets, and to small large particles at both high and low velocities. The material is approved by the UK Ministry of Defence and RAE Farnborough for use on aircraft. Current uses include the protection of helicopter rotor blades, propeller blades, and the leading edges of aircraft sections. Dowty-Rotol recommend the use of the product on propeller blades manufactured by them; it is currently used in Europe and the US. The material has also been evaluated as a protection for aerial panels (antennae) and does not cause signal attenuation.
