The Finish : DIATEX primary and finish paints



2 Opaque paint ranges : DIACOUVRE et DIAQUARTZ

> Protection against U.V. radiation
> Multi-functional and easy to use
> Elasticity-prone, to avoid cracking
> Aerodynamically enhancing, to facilitate "slipping" through the air, as well as a weight saver
> Color fidelity (according to the RAL standard)
> Superb finish, opaque paints


A few bitter remarks :

> Most paints crack as the canvas cover ages.
> Ordered colors are not always "fidel" following repairs to the original paint color.
> Painting results don’t respect your quality criteria.
> The finish coating weight is often too heavy and lowers your aircraft’s performance.

After accelerated aging tests and studies, DIATEX perfected a high-performance finish system (primary and finish paints) to respond to the needs of lightweight aircraft.


DIATEX’s solutions

> Primary paints which adhere perfectly to nitrocellulose supports (the Tension sealing compounds) and stratified products : DIAFILLER et DIAPLAN.
> In the event of paint applied to metal, a support which assures an optimal adherence for an anti-corrosion primary paint.
> Finish paints which adhere perfectly to primary coats.
> The excellent compatibility of the products, which eliminates "unsticking" problems (orange skin effect).
> The outstanding elasticity of the primary and finish paints, which allows avoiding crackings during inflight deformations and due to aging.
> The aerodynamic enhancing factor of the paints, which increases the aircraft’s streamlining, favoring air flow.
> The fidelity of colors, which are compliant to the RAL standard.
> The multi-functionality of the primary paints, which can be used equally on textiles, stratified products, tension sealing compounds.
> The easy application of our top-of-the-range finish paints, usable by even the non-professional.
> The extensive covering capacity of the products, which allow eliminating excess weight.
