Pexa's French Facility Commissions Aerospace Paint Mixing Capability - 25/03/07
Pexa, the specialist supplier of surface finishing products to the aerospace industry has commissioned its first paint production capability at its site near Marseille. Through its partnership with Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings (ANAC), the World's leading manufacturer of aerospace finishes, Pexa has installed a colour mixing capability for Aerodur® C21-100UVR.
This product is a high gloss, high durability exterior polyurethane topcoat approved by major aircraft designers such as Airbus, Pilatus and Saab. Pexa's new capability means that customers in France can expect rapid delivery of any colour in any quantity with minimum normal batch size of 1 litre.
Pexa's personnel have been fully trained by ANAC and will use process specifications developed at Pexa's UK site which has operated ANAC mixing technology for 4 years. Pexa has an online connection to ANAC's colour formulation database which allows for any of thousands of colour recipes to be available with a simple "click and mix" functionality.
Pexa's French facility has been open for 2 years and is accredited to AS EN9120.
