GREOS ENDURE
FKM Fluoroelastomer Coating · 250°C / 480°F
The first elastomeric FKM coating that survives 250°C / 480°F while maintaining flexibility and chemical resistance.

No competitor can match this. GREOS ENDURE delivers longterm thermal protection, true elastomeric flexibility, and exceptional resistance to flight line fluids — all in a standard spray application (or roll) with no process changes required.

What no one else can do

Every Other Coating Forces a Compromise.

For decades, aerospace engineers have been forced to choose: thermal protection OR flexibility OR chemical resistance. The competition delivers one, maybe two. Never all three.

GREOS ENDURE is the only solution that delivers 250°C / 480°F thermal protection with true elastomeric flexibility AND flight line fluids resistance. This capability does not exist anywhere else in the aerospace coatings industry.

GREOS ENDURE delivers all of this — simultaneously

250°C / 480°F

Longterm thermal exposure. Proven in hot zone environments.

Elastomeric

True flexibility under vibration. High elongation maintained.

Chemical Resistant

Excellent vs fuels, hydraulic fluids, de-icing agents, and solvents.

Standard Spray

Applies with existing equipment. No process changes required.

Lightweight

Thin-film application. Measurable weight savings vs heat shields.

Color-Matched

CICP pigments with aerospace flight heritage. Consistent finish.

The forced compromise

Why the Alternatives Fall Short.

Every coating on the market fails at least one critical requirement. Most fail three or four. This is why hot zone protection has been a compromise for decades — until GREOS ENDURE.

≤ 177°C / 350°F
Polyurethane Topcoats
  • Thermal degradation above 177°C / 350°F
  • Poor chemical resistance to aviation fluids
  • Frequent repaint cycles in hot zones
  • Not suitable for next-gen platforms
≤ 315°C / 600°F
Silicone Coatings
  • Rigid and brittle — prone to cracking under vibration
  • Poor resistance to fuels and flight line fluids
  • Limited flexibility for structural movement
  • Difficult to achieve aesthetic finish
538°C+ / 1000°F+
Ceramic Barriers
  • Extremely heavy — significant airframe weight penalty
  • Rigid and inflexible — zero vibration tolerance
  • Unaesthetic and visually inconsistent
  • Complex specialist application process
Material Dependent
Bare Metal / Shields
  • Heavy weight penalty at scale
  • Corrosion and oxidation prone
  • No fluid or chemical protection
  • Visually inconsistent patchwork finish

The GREOS ENDURE advantage

The Only Solution That Scores Green Across the Board.

GREOS ENDURE is the only aerospace coating that delivers on every critical requirement simultaneously — thermal performance, flexibility, chemical resistance, weight, and aesthetic quality.

The chemistry behind it

FKM Chemistry. Finally Sprayable.

FKM fluoroelastomer chemistry has powered high-performance seals for decades. The carbon-fluorine bonds deliver unmatched thermal stability and chemical resistance.

But no one has made it sprayable for aerospace. Until now. GREOS ENDURE formulates FKM as a high-performance topcoat that applies with standard spray equipment using CARB-exempt solvents — dropping breakthrough performance into existing finishing workflows.

No special equipment. No process changes. Just performance that no competitor can match.
