303 Aerospace Application Guide

Protect your tubes from UV rays with 303® Aerospace Protectant

If your application exposes carbon fiber tubing to significant UV radiation let me introduce you to an amazing product. UV radiation can degrade the epoxy in carbon fiber tubing if left unprotected. Painting carbon fiber tubing offers the best protection from UV radiation but painting tubes adds weight and cost and unless you're using a clear coating you won't see the carbon fiber twill pattern. 303® Aerospace protectant is a water-based treatment originally engineered for aviation applications.

303® Aerospace Protectant is an easy-to-apply alternative to painting and adds nothing to the weight of the tube. A few years ago, I conducted a rooftop test to see how well this product works. I noticed a very slight color difference in the carbon fiber test plates after only 30 days of constant summer exposure. By the end of the summer, the unprotected part had a slight yellow tint to it. However, the treated carbon plate still looked perfect. Some customers won't need a product like this but it's good insurance for outdoor applications. Use it to protect boats, cars, patio furniture, hot tub covers, and more.

303® AEROSPACE PROTECTANT

APPLICATION GUIDE

Use only on clean surfaces. indoPlace a drop cloth under the cleaner to be treated to catch any overspray. Out of direct sun, spray surface with 303® Aerospace Protectant and WIPE COMPLETELY DRY. If streaking occurs, too much product has been used. Use a wet towel to remove excess, IMMEDIATELY WIPE COMPLETELY DRY.

Note: this product does not air dry. Extra buffing with a dry cloth INCREASES bonding, repellency & longevity. Apply every 3-5 weeks for maximum UV protection.

Great for use on a variety of surfaces such as: vinyl, leather, plastics, synthetic & natural rubber, PVC, gel coat & fiberglass.

Ideal for: Hypalon inflatable boats, wet/dry suits, tires, side-out seals, RV EDPM rubber roofing (for your safety, never walk on a wet roof), helmets, visors, and goggles. Not for use on unfinished leathers (such as suede), fabrics (canvas), floorings, gauge panels, or headlights.

Do not use on: clear plastics, unfinished leathers (such as suede), fabrics, floorings, gauge panels, or headlights.

303 AEROSPACE PROTECTANT HAS MANY APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING:

Boat Interiors: Spray on your vinyl boat seats to prevent them from fading and cracking during boating season. Will also help keep them clean from dust, sand, and will help prevent those dreaded sunscreen stains.
Automobile Interiors and Exteriors: Use on your vehicle’s dashboard every 30-45 days, to protect it from the sun’s harmful UV rays, preventing fading and cracking over time. Spray on tires to make them look new without the greasy film. Use on your convertible top to keep it pliable and cleaning up easier.
Spa Covers: Use on your spa cover all year long! It will protect it from the sun’s harmful UV rays (which can cause fading/cracking) in the summer months, and in the winter, it will keep the material pliable and prevent it from drying out and cracking. 303 Aerospace Protectant will also help make snow and ice accumulation easier to remove/brush off as well.
Outdoor Furniture: Keep your plastic, metal, or wicker outdoor patio furniture from fading, cracking and chalking. It will also help repel dust, dirt and grime, that can quickly accumulate on your furniture during the enjoyable BBQ season.
