How Surface Seal® Works
|
🔬
Step 1
Molecular Bonding
PPG's proprietary aerospace-grade polymers form a molecular bond directly with the windshield substrate — creating a durable, invisible protective layer |
🌧️
Step 2
Water Repulsion
When precipitation contacts the treated surface, the hydrophobic barrier instantly repels water molecules — preventing sheet formation on contact |
💧
Step 3
Beading & Shedding
Water forms tight, compact beads that rapidly roll off the windshield surface — dramatically reducing visual distortion and improving pilot visibility |
✈️
Result
Clear Visibility
Pilots maintain optimal optical clarity through precipitation — eliminating the dangerous sheet effect during critical flight phases |

Key Features & Benefits
|
👁️ Superior Rain Visibility
Dramatically improves pilot visibility during precipitation by causing water to instantly bead and shed from the windshield surface — eliminating the dangerous sheet effect that compromises situational awareness during critical approach, landing, and takeoff phases. |
🔬 Aerospace-Grade Molecular Bond
Formulated with PPG's proprietary aerospace-grade polymers that create a molecular bond with the windshield substrate — delivering a durable, invisible hydrophobic barrier that maintains optimal optical clarity without distortion or haze. |
|
✈️ Universal Aircraft Compatibility
Engineered for remarkable versatility across all aircraft platforms — from commercial airliners and private jets to military aircraft. Suitable for initial treatment on new windshields and periodic reapplication on in-service aircraft without disrupting operational schedules. |
🛠️ Maintenance-Friendly Formulation
Fully compatible with industry-standard aerospace cleaning agents and established maintenance protocols — integrating seamlessly into existing MRO workflows without requiring specialized handling procedures or disrupting operational schedules. |
|
🌡️ Heating Blanket Optimized
Achieves maximum adhesion and curing performance when applied in conjunction with specialized heating blankets covering the treated window area post-application — ensuring the molecular bond fully develops for long-lasting hydrophobic protection. |
🛡️ Contaminant Resistance
The hydrophobic barrier provides active resistance to environmental contaminants — including industrial pollutants, de-icing fluids, and atmospheric particulates — that typically adhere to and degrade untreated windshield surfaces over time. |
|
🔒 Windshield Longevity
By protecting windshield surfaces from moisture infiltration and environmental degradation, Surface Seal® makes a significant investment in windshield longevity — reducing the frequency of costly windshield replacements and extending service life. |
💡 Optical Clarity Preserved
The transparent coating system maintains full optical clarity — the invisible protective layer does not introduce haze, distortion, or color shift, ensuring pilots benefit from both maximum visibility and hydrophobic protection simultaneously. |
