How HYDROSKIP® Works

🔬
Apply
Surface Treatment

HYDROSKIP® is applied to plastic aircraft surfaces — compatible with diverse plastic substrates found throughout modern aircraft from windscreens to composite panels

Activate
Rapid Onset

The formula rapidly activates to create an invisible hydrophobic shield on the treated surface — no extended cure time required before protection is in effect

💧
Repel
Water Driven Away

The invisible shield actively drives water away from treated surfaces — preventing moisture buildup, minimizing aerodynamic drag, and improving visibility in challenging weather

🔄
Renew
Renewable Protection

The durable formulation maintains peak performance through repeated use — offering sustained, renewable protection for mission-critical aircraft components over time

HYDROSKIP® vs. Untreated Surfaces

❌ Without HYDROSKIP®
Moisture accumulates and sheets across plastic surfaces
Increased aerodynamic drag from water buildup on surfaces
Reduced pilot visibility during precipitation and adverse weather
Multiple treatment products required for different substrate types
Complex supply chain management for multiple surface treatments
✅ With HYDROSKIP®
Water actively driven away — invisible shield prevents moisture buildup
Aerodynamic drag minimized — enhanced operational efficiency in flight
Improved visibility maintained through challenging weather conditions
Single product covers diverse plastic substrates across the aircraft
Consolidated supply — one treatment solution simplifies MRO logistics

Key Features & Benefits

🎖️ Military-Grade Performance

Born from intensive development for high-performance military aviation — HYDROSKIP® brings defense-level hydrophobic protection to the entire aerospace industry, delivering the same extreme-environment performance previously reserved exclusively for military operators.

🌿 Fluorocarbon-Free & Silicone-Free

An environmentally conscious formulation that delivers military-grade performance without fluorocarbons or silicones — meeting the aerospace industry's growing commitment to sustainable surface treatment solutions while maintaining uncompromised hydrophobic effectiveness.

⚡ Rapid Activation

HYDROSKIP® is engineered for rapid activation — the hydrophobic shield activates quickly after application, minimizing downtime and enabling treated aircraft to return to service faster without sacrificing protection quality or durability.

🔄 Renewable Protection

The durable formulation maintains peak performance through repeated use — offering sustained, renewable hydrophobic protection for mission-critical aircraft components that holds up through the rigors of continuous aerospace operations.

🧩 Multi-Substrate Versatility

Broad compatibility with diverse plastic materials found throughout modern aircraft — from windscreens and instrument covers to exterior composite panels — providing uniform, dependable performance across multiple surface types with a single product.

💨 Aerodynamic Drag Reduction

By actively driving water away from treated surfaces and preventing moisture buildup, HYDROSKIP® minimizes the aerodynamic drag penalty associated with water accumulation — enhancing operational efficiency and fuel performance during flight.

👁️ Enhanced Adverse Weather Visibility

The hydrophobic barrier improves visibility during challenging weather conditions — keeping windscreens and transparency surfaces clear of water accumulation so pilots maintain optimal situational awareness through precipitation, fog, and adverse atmospheric conditions.

🔧 Simplified MRO & Supply Consolidation

Multi-substrate compatibility eliminates the complexity of managing multiple treatment products — consolidating supply requirements, simplifying maintenance procedures, and reducing inventory overhead for MRO operations across diverse aircraft fleets.
