Aircraft, ground support equipment and weapons systems are constantly subject to the debilitating effects of climatic and environmental factors, including corrosion, UV heat build-up, and particulate damage – all direct causes of equipment failure. The result is a significant decrease in readiness, which increases risk and maintenance requirements with enormous cost implications.
The key to corrosion prevention is to stop oxidation from occurring in the first place. Cocoon Cover Systems utilize a revolutionary fabric membrane to provide HEPA-quality particulate filtration, and reduce condensation or moisture through the balance of ambient humidity levels, providing environment and corrosion protection far superior to that of available alternatives. In addition to this high degree of breathability, Cocoon Covers are waterproof, provide excellent UV protection, and help reduce wind screen abrasion on the ground.
- Prevents Corrosion – The patented fabric is waterproof and, more importantly, highly breathable, allowing moisture to escape which eliminates the micro climate that causes corrosion
- Filters Particulates and Non Abrasive – Fine sand, dirt and dust are prevented from penetrating the membrane; face material tested against windscreen abrasion
- Wind and UV Protection – Material selected and tested for wind whipping to 120MPH for durability; dark fabric face reduces glare while white middle membrane reflects UV, thereby reducing heat load by 17%
- Lightweight and Packable – Highly compressible and weigh as little as 6 ounces per yard (depending on application) for ease – and increased likelihood – of use and stowage for transport
- Chemical Resistant and Field Cleanable – Tested against aircraft chemicals with no impact on performance; easy to clean with soap and water; easily patchable
