Hangar 9 UltraCote Lite Transparent Purple Airplane Covering

Hangar 9 UltraCote is a high-tech polyester covering that boasts a unique multi-temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, making it a versatile and effortless option for application. The patented polymerizing process permanently fuses the color to the polyester film covering, eliminating the possibility of color-layer separation and allowing for the repositioning of the covering on your model. UltraCote's exceptional ability to both shrink and stretch sets it apart from other coverings, making it superior for navigating tight curves and wingtips.

The adhesion to wood begins at a temperature range of 200 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit, while the shrinkage onset starts at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and the maximum shrinkage is achieved at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Weighing in at just .12 oz/sq. ft., UltraCote is a lightweight option that is fuel-proof to glow fuel, gas, and smoke oil, as well as waterproof.

To ensure a successful covering job, the surface must be meticulously prepared. The surface should be smooth and clean, with any gaps or dents filled using a high-quality filler. It is recommended to use a tan-colored filler that matches the wood color when applying light-colored UltraCote, such as white or yellow, to prevent the filler from showing through.

The covering job can only be as good as the finish of the surface it's applied over. To achieve a smooth and flawless finish, the model should be sanded using a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the final sanding being done with 320 grit paper. It is crucial to vacuum away all dust, as specks of dust under the covering can result in unsightly bumps.

In summary, Hangar 9 UltraCote is a high-tech polyester covering that offers a unique multi-temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, making it a versatile and easy-to-apply option. Its patented polymerizing process permanently fuses the color to the polyester film covering, eliminating the possibility of color-layer separation and allowing for the repositioning of the covering on your model. With its exceptional shrinking and stretching abilities, lightweight construction, and fuel and waterproof properties, UltraCote is a superior choice for covering your model.
