Protectapeel
Corporation was founded in 1936 as a manufacturer of peelable coatings to the
shoe industry. At the outbreak or World War 2 customers such as Boeing and
McDonnell Douglas discovered that these coatings had a much broader use on
acrylic aircraft canopies during fabrication and assembly.
In succeeding
years Protectapeel developed many different coatings for a variety of surfaces such
as plastics, paints, glass and metals. In 1953 Protectapeel developed the first cocooning
system which was used to ship aircraft around the world on the decks of aircraft
carriers. Once at their destination this could be stripped off and the aircraft
immediately put into service.
In 1992 Protectapeel International Limited was
formed as an autonomous company and has continued to expand its range of coatings
to meet the demands of diverse worldwide industrial requirements with its speciality
and high performance coatings. Its customers include The Olympic Games, Formula
One, Fairline Boats, Bae Marine Systems, British Nuclear Fuels and signmakers
worldwide.
Protectapeel has recently been awarded the accolade of the governement
sponsored SMART AWARD for product innovation and development and continues
to look beyond the traditional to find unique solutions to its customers coatings
requirements.
