Tenax ® carbon fiber for the rotor and body offers substantial weight
• # reduction so that the · · . "chopper" can hoist considerably heavier loads.
Our elastic coatings, specially developed to protect airplanes against corrosion, make the "skin" of the helicopter I insensitive to hailstorms, cloudbursts, thunderbolts, ultraviolet light and extreme temperature changes.
Anchor cables made of Twaron ® aramid fiber are 13 times lighter under water than steel cables with the same traction power, making them the perfect choice for deep water situations. In prac- #
tice, the hoisting power of * · · m
steel cable decreases with increasing water depth. At a depth of 650 yards or more, Twaron ® cables still offer a maximum hoisting power.
The "splash zone" is kept rust-free with our Redox® Critkote and solvent free epoxy systems.
