What Are Class A Coatings?
Class A coatings are advanced liquid finishes designed to achieve a superior cosmetic surface quality- smooth, uniform, and free of imperfections. They are commonly used on parts that are visible to customers or subject to aesthetic standards.
At AIC, our Cosmetic Liquid Class A coatings use polyurethane, urethane, and epoxy chemistries to achieve a perfect balance between appearance, toughness, and chemical resistance.
