Aeronautical painting

TMH-novatec, a recognized aeronautics specialist, controls the whole of its painting process: design and manufacturing of specific masking tools, chemical or mechanical surface preparation, painting and curing. The parts we paint range from turbine blades, using anti-corrosion painting processes, to transmission housings, which require complex masking plans. TMH-novatec has a long experience in paint application on aircraft and helicopter engine and turbine parts and ensures a high degree of traceability for the operations it performs: for each part, recording of surface preparation conditions, recording of mix preparation characteristics, application conditions (temperature and humidity), curing cycles (date, temperature curve) and paint inspection (aspect, adhesion, thickness). We carry out painting operations for the aeronautics industry both on new parts before production line assembly, and on repair parts during aircraft and helicopter maintenance servicing operations. We have in-house :

• 2 sandblasting machines for mechanical surface preparation by corundum sanding
• Alkaline degreasing bath for surface chemical preparation
• Masking workstations and associated equipment: customized masking tools and manual masking
• 2 paint booths including one temperature and humidity-controlled booth. Dimension capacity: part of up to one meter in both diameter and height
• 4 ovens with programmable curing cycles and cycle data recording. Oven capacity: 1 cubic meter
• Inspection equipment: eddy current measuring instruments for measuring thickness, adhesion test, grid adhesion test combs in accordance with ISO 2409 standard, roughometer, etc.
