SOLO Paint – Nitrocellulose paint (Thinner)

Functions: For bonding, stretching, stabilizing, lining, and sealing your DIATEX 1000 / 1500 / 2000 interlining fabric to a wood, metal, or composite structure, or for bonding fabric to fabric.

Applications:

  • Adhesion: 2 methods (Allow 1 hour for drying between coats): Apply 2 to 3 coats of undiluted Solo plaster using a flat brush, or apply with a roller after diluting it with Solo thinner (first coat diluted 50%, second coat 25%)
  • Fabric tension: undiluted or diluted to 10%, 2 to 3 crisscrossed layers depending on basis weight
Thinner for SOLO

An organic blend based on ethanol, acetates, butanol, and dimethoxymethane, designed to optimize the application of SOLO

Two-component primer: Diaplan

Improves the appearance and finish. Its thin consistency results in significant weight savings. Can be applied to coated canvas (light sanding), laminates (400-grit wet sanding), wood, metals, and composites

  • 100% compatible with nitrocellulose coatings
  • Excellent flexibility
  • UV Protection
  • Transparency to Ultrasound and Radar Waves
  • Coverage: 6 to 7 m² per liter of mixture.
Aviation paints: DIACOUVRE (White) & DIAGRAPHITE (Complete RAL color palette)

Apply directly to Diaplan (the two-component primer)

  • Improves the aircraft’s streamlining thanks to its very smooth structure
  • High coverage = weight gain
  • High elasticity (no cracking)
  • Resistance to UV, water, and crevice corrosion
  • Spray application
Finishing varnish

A high-gloss, thin, and flexible PU clear coat. Ideal for enhancing the final finish and protecting the paint.

Non-slip – Technical finish

For sensitive areas: running board, footrest, pedals, luggage compartment.

  • Resistant to ester oils (AIR 8104)
  • Excellent coverage: 5–7 m²/L
  • Color: matte midnight blue
  • DASSAULT-Approved
  • Various formats available: wide or narrow strips, round discs, foot-shaped pieces, and other designs upon request
Fire protection: DIAFIREWALL firewall partition

Technology derived from the AIRBUS A380. It is a cost-effective replacement for 4/10 stainless steel sheet, saving 2 to 5 kg per aircraft.

  • Very low thermal conductivity
  • Excellent sound and vibration insulation
  • Flexible, can be cut with scissors
  • Installation Using Multi-Point Adhesive Bonding
Anti-corrosion epoxy primer (Approved by Airbus, British Aerospace, and AECMA)

Protection for interior and exterior metal surfaces. 100% two-component epoxy, pigmented with strontium chromate. Extremely high resistance to chemicals, salt spray, kerosene, oils, and hydraulic fluids.

High-performance degreaser: SurfaceCleaner

Solvent-based degreaser, compatible with composites, metals, resins, and thermoplastics.

Removes wax and other surface contaminants without damaging or dulling the mold’s working surfaces.

  • No traces or residues
  • Dries very quickly
  • Ideal for use before applying primer, base coat, or paint
