AkzoNobel Cabin Interiors

Cabin interiors are all of the panels, trim and accessories inside the aircraft, including in the cockpit. The look and feel of a cabin can define the passenger experience, creating a sense of comfort and security that is part of any enjoyable flight.

AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings' premium-quality interior coatings are designed to protect and enhance any aircraft’s internal appearance. Supported by outstanding durability, stain resistance and their team of in-house design experts, keeping a cabin looking fresh and modern has never been simpler. Their cabin interior products conform to EASA fire retardant regulations for use in interior aircraft.

AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings acquired Mapaero in 2019, a renowned specialist in structural and cabin coatings, based in France. With particular focus upon sustainable, water-based and ecofriendly products, the acquisition has strengthened AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings' position as an industry leader in coatings worldwide.

As part of the AkzoNobel/Mapaero acquisition, the AkzoNobel AeroFine 8250 Topcoat and AeroFine 8110 Sanding Surfacer were discontinued, with the FR2-55 family and process the recommended alternative.

Following the correct process for your individual requirements is important, as there is no single product to properly paint an aircraft.

When To Use Primer/Filler?

Composite

Application of FR4-45, FRS30 or FR-P1K filler

Plastic

It depends on different parameters:

Is the color of the substrate close to the topcoat color? Does the plastic present pinholes ; parting lines or textured surface you need to get rid of?

If the answer to one of these question is yes, then a filler such as FR4-45 is needed.

If not, you can apply the topcoat directly on this plastic (after ensuring their good adhesion and compatibility.)

Aluminium

Application of F69 epoxy primer.

Primer must be cured at least at 40 °C before topcoat application. See F69 TDS for further details.
