Aerospace polymer consumption over the past ten years has increased five-fold, according to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, with reference to industry experts.

According to Camille Nurdavletova, the project manager to establish in Russia the production of aerobatic aircraft, polymers are used most heavily when creating a light two-four-planes or helicopters. Depending on the cost and flying qualities of the device at a fraction of polymeric composite materials (PCM) can account for 80% of its mass. According to the expert, almost all global manufacturers such flying machines used RMB, in particular the Austrian company Diamond, German and Extra Extrime.

At the same time, experts note the importance for aekosmicheskoy industrial paints, protecting the device from various external influences. So thanks to the paint based on plasticized polyurethane aircraft skin can withstand from minus 40 to minus 60 ° C.

As noted in an interview with “LMB Portal” spetsiliasty HC “Composite”, composite materials five times lighter and five times stronger than metals, they have unique anti-corrosion properties. Traditionally, composite materials are used in raketo- and aircraft, shipbuilding, automotive, construction, energy and manufacturing sporting goods.

The total capacity of the polymers market in the aviation industry specialists benefit from its constantly to $ 8.17 billion.
