The Research and Development organization

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:

The STRUCTURE Lab

The Structure Lab; with over 25 years of expertise in airframe protection, is responsible for supporting the existing business of corrosion prevention and is highly dedicated to the development of Chromate free coatings in the future. The Structure lab is also involved by the protection of polymer and composite materials.

The CABIN Lab

This laboratory is dedicated to the coatings of the interior cabins, constantly combines aesthetics, special effects and colors, with the technical performances such as fire resistance, chemical resistance, low VOC content and ease of cleaning. Our technologies are, among others, used in the VIP cabins.

Industry Department

This department is an intergral part of the Research and Development, because validates the products formulated with the regard to the customer application processes. The approach is to focus on the industrial specification, in consultation with the customers, so that the products developed are most in line with their expectations.

Environmental

The Mapaero lab team have a strong policy of developing environmentally- friendly products, particularly with water-based paints and keeps up to date with studies conducted into the hazards presented by the chemical components used in our formulations and the associated regularity restrictions (REACH). Our developments take this information into account to ensure we offer sustainable solutions

The laboratories are equipped with the most modern tests and measurement devices and equipment including:

  •  Salt spray Chamber 
  •  Infrared and visual spectrometer
  •  Various spectrophotocolorimeters 
  •  Flammability test equipment 
  •  Electrochemical impedance measuring equipment 
  •  Climatic test chamber 
  •  Dedicated lab for metal surface conversion treatments 
  •  Accelerated UV test Chamber 
  •  Dispersers, mixing and grinding equipment
  • Differential Scanning Calorimeter
  • Hardness measuring equipment
  • Flexibility measuring equipment

组织结构：我司分为两个实验室：

• 环氧实验室（Laboratoire Epoxy）负责“涂层”（Coatings）系列，专注于对航空器内部结构保护层技术。
• 聚氨酯实验室（Laboratoire Polyuréthane）负责“面层”（Finishes）系列，致力于机舱的布置和飞机外部。

凭借这两种技术，我司可提供满足航空涂料不同功能所需的产品。

职责：根据市场中出现的最新技术，开发和鉴定创新产品并完成它们的工业化。

目标：开发最贴近客户期望的各种产品，使其不但可在功能上，同时也可在工业使用周期和环保要求上满足期待。向市场上投放创新且耐用的产品是我司的优先考虑。

聚氨酯实验室：主要从事机舱内部布置方面水性涂料的开发，从而改善相关工艺并获得增重。我司实验室因在比色法方面的专长而闻名于世，可提供广泛的色彩和特效选择。对于飞机外部，我司的目标是降低VOC（挥发性有机化合物）的含量。

环氧实验室：我司的专长是航空器内部结构的保护，无论这些结构是金属的或是合成物的。目前，实验室的主要开发重心是内部结构防腐保护底漆中铬酸盐替代物的开发，在这一领域中，我司实验室在前期入门工程方面拥有世界知名的专业技术。

环保：我司实验室拥有浓厚的环保产品开发文化，尤其是在水性涂料方面，实验室始终关注有关我司配方中使用的化学成分危险性研究和相关法规限制（REACH《化学品的注册、评估、授权和限制》）方面的信息。我司在开发时考虑到了这些因素以便提供满足可持续性要求的产品。

Quality at the service of the customer

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.

Full inspections

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.

Environment

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.

Health

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.
