Our EPOXO systems are widely used in airport ground facilities and service areas. This material resists a wide range of chemicals and hydrocarbons. Among the many products that EPOXO is impervious to is Skydrol. This jet hydraulic fluid is notorious for attacking many coatings and surfacing products. EPOXO also resists Avcat, JP4 Kerosene and Hi-jet 3 aviation fuels.

EPOXO also has other features that make it suitable for use in the aviation industry:

• Abrasion resistant
• Withstands very high temperatures (i.e. Harrier jet blast)
• Anti-sparking.
• Extremely skid resistant
• There are many uses for this material around airports, including, Aircraft stands, runway, aero-docks, access steps, service areas, ground handling facilities, scissor trucks, tow trucks, ramps and walkways.

Preparation of concrete areas
All traces of oils, grease and aviation fluids must be removed by high pressure washing using suitable grease emulsifing agents. The surface must then be dried and moisture free. For large areas such as aircraft stands and runways traction areas, use an aircraft cabin heater, or hot compressed air facilities.

Terminal Buildings
Usually terminal buildings have very large tiled areas in arrival, departures and baggage reclaim halls. Tiles are extremely hard wearing and durable, but become hazardous when slippery. Airport terminals are particular potential hazard areas, because passengers are often in a hurry and laden with heavy baggage. A wet tile surface can easily cause a serious slipping accident.

TRUSTY STEP was designed for exactly this type of application, and is in use in many airports.
