Since 2004, Mapaero has established itself as a major manufacturer of OEM approved water based paints for commercial passenger cabins from Airbus, Boeing, Eurocopter, Bombardier and Embraer.
These high-technology paints have proven their performance levels by responding to the demanding requirements of aircraft manufacturers, such as fire resistance characteristics (smoke, flames, toxicity, etc.), cleanability, durability and resistance to chemicals.
Within the cabin interior, paints are now becoming an increasingly effective alternative to decorative films, offering weight savings and maintenance cost reductions, especially on complex surfaces. Paints also provide highly elaborate finishes in terms of special effects, textures and gloss variants and make it possible to maintain colorimetric accuracy across the cabin in a way that remains unrivalled by other technologies on the market such as mass produced coloured plastics.
Mapaero have established themselves as experts in the area of high-performance water based paints as a replacement for conventional solvent-based products, resulting in a 70% reduction in VOC emissions and ongoing research offers the latest generation of products with enhanced and faster drying properties to rival those of solvent-based paints.
Mapaero has invested in the development of a comprehensive system of products including sealants, primers, finishes and varnishes to address all the needs of the interior fitting industry.
