The Science Behind AV8: How It Works
Reactive Polymer Technology
Unlike traditional waxes or outdated sealants, AV8 utilizes next-generation reactive polymer chemistry, which forms a thin, yet ultra-durable molecular barrier on painted and composite surfaces.
- Molecular Cross-Linking – Once applied, AV8’s polymer structure chemically bonds to the surface, creating a hydrophobic, high-gloss protective layer.
- Low-Friction, Silky Finish – The ultra-slick surface reduces dirt adhesion, minimizes drag, and prevents static buildup, making post-flight cleaning effortless.
- Room-Temperature Curing – No need for infrared curing or special application conditions—AV8 cures at ambient temperatures for seamless integration into aircraft maintenance cycles.
Why AV8 Is A Better Choice
AV8 isn’t just a lab-engineered formula—it’s been applied to over 1,500 aircraft, including more than 100 Cirrus SR-series airframes. Proven effective in diverse climates, from high-humidity coastal regions to arid, high-UV environments.
"We've used every type of aircraft coating, nothing we've found lasts longer than AV8. It gives our fleet the protection we need, without the hassle of ceramics."
