A model paint consisting of resin dissolved in butanol was sprayed onto horizontal glass substrates to form films varying from 100 μm to 450 μm in thickness.
Researchers will now be able to test anti-icing systems under realistic conditions at temperatures down to minus 30°C and at wind speeds of up to 350 km/h.
The adhesive properties of wear-resistant polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate (PMPPI) coatings to substrates of ferrous and non-ferrous metals were investigated.
