As a pioneer in water based paints for aircraft Mapaero embraces the latest technology and strives for environmental protection. We are proud to offer a large range of products from our R&D laboratories, and happy to support you with our technical, commercial, and logistics services.
I invite you to discover our full range of coatings. My teams are at your service for your satisfaction.
The Mapaero Team is dedicated to the development of innovative products for the aerospace market and today is seen as pioneers in their field thanks to the ongoing desire to embrace the latest technologies and improve both industry and environmental conditions.
Today the Research and Development consists of several key divisions, each enjoying their own facilities:
Mapaero applies a recognised quality system that is AS/EN 9100 certified. Continuous improvement and compliance with customer requirements are key concerns for us. Integrated within various enhancement projects, we perfect our system and facilities each day to provide the best possible solution to our partners' concerns.
Always at your service, Mapaero undertakes to provide you with a product that complies with your expectations within the agreed times.
A dedicated department is responsible for inspecting our products. The physical and chemical characteristics are inspected to certify the technical properties of our paints and provide our customers with the guarantee that the delivered product is identical in all respects to the product initially certified.
The colour is also checked in order to guarantee the visual impact of your surfaces.
An inspection report is issued for each batch as a guarantee of Mapaero quality.
With 3,000 sqm. of photovoltaic panels and a geothermal heating system, Mapaero ensures optimal control over its energy consumption. As part of our ISO 14001 certification, multiple initiatives are conducted each year to reduce our environmental impact: waste recycling, VOC reduction and, of course, the development of more environmentally friendly paints.
The health of its operators and the customers that use its products is a prime concern for Mapaero. Over and above the initiatives carried out by our Health & Safety team, two key priorities motivate our entire personnel:
The reduction of solvents contained in paint, in order to reduce the risk of fire and explosion. Over a period of ten years, the proportion of paints with minimal solvent content (high-solids, aqueous and water-soluble) has risen from 10 to 80%.
Replacement of hazardous substances (REACH, exposure limits, occupational exposure limits, etc.): AEG, DBP, chromate, molybdates, toluene, etc. In 2014, Mapaero certified a chromate-free structural primer for aeronautical applications. A first step towards the widespread replacement of chromate-based anti-corrosion primers.
