Use Case: Advanced Air Mobility (eVTOL)

Thermal and Dielectric Protection for Electric Propulsion Systems.

Replace brittle silicones and heavy heat shields with flexible, fuel-resistant coatings for nacelles, thrust reversers, and engine bays.

The hot zone compromise

Nacelles and Exhaust Zones Exceed Polyurethane Limits.

"Nacelles, thrust reversers, and APU compartments routinely exceed 177°C / 350°F — beyond polyurethane limits. Current solutions force trade-offs between thermal protection, chemical resistance, and flexibility."

Every coating on the market solves one problem and creates three more. Silicones handle the heat but crack under vibration and don't resist Skydrol. Ceramics are too heavy. Polyurethanes fail at temperature. Bare metal corrodes and adds weight. Engineers have been living with these compromises for decades.

GREOS ENDURE eliminates all four failure modes simultaneously — in a standard spray application that drops into existing finishing workflows.

Why current solutions fall short

Polyurethane
Insufficient thermal resistance

Fails at motor housing temperatures, no dielectric protection

Standard Paints
No dielectric or thermal protection

Conventional topcoats offer no protection for HV systems

Thermal Barriers
Weight penalty kills range

Heavy ceramic systems unacceptable for weight-critical eVTOL platforms

Silicone
Poor adhesion on composite structures

Delamination under vibration, no electrical insulation properties

Why materials engineers choose GREOS

Reduce Repaint Cycles While Cutting Component Weight.

GREOS ENDURE is the only coating 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.

High-Temperature Motor Protection
Electric motors generate concentrated heat zones exceeding 200°C / 400°F. GREOS coatings maintain protective properties at temperatures where conventional coatings fail, without adding weight.
Dielectric Safety Coating
FKM/FFKM chemistry provides electrical insulation properties critical for high-voltage systems — protecting harnesses and power electronics from short circuits and EMI.
Thermal Runaway Protection
Battery housings require coatings that resist thermal runaway scenarios while maintaining flexibility. GREOS coatings protect enclosures without compromising thermal management performance.
Weight-Critical Thin Film
Every gram of coating weight extends range and increases passenger capacity. Thin-film application under 0.5mm delivers full protection without payload penalty.
Chemical Resistance for eVTOL
Resistance to hydraulic fluids, coolants, and lubricants used in electric propulsion systems — protecting motor housings and drive components throughout service life.
Standard Application Process
Applies with existing spray equipment. No special process qualification. Designed to integrate into eVTOL OEM finishing workflows from the ground up.
