Protect the Underside of Crop Dusting Planes

Protective coatings for crop dusting planes

Category: Abrasion

Project: Underside of Crop Dusting Plane

Rhino Products: Rhino Linings TUFF STUFF®

Job Description: Crop-dusting planes play a crucial role in agriculture by dispensing pesticides and herbicides in the form of pellets.

These pellets, when dropped from a moving plane, act like sand-blasting particles, and they strip the paint and begin to damage the underside of the fuselage, which is extremely expensive to repair. Our job is to protect the underside of crop dusting planes.

To combat this issue, Rhino Linings TUFF STUFF® was applied to the underside of the fuselage. This robust protective coating effectively shields the plane from the pellets’ abrasive effects, significantly reducing the aircraft’s wear and tear.

The application of TUFF STUFF® has proven highly successful, providing a durable defense against the elements and prolonging the lifespan of the planes.

An ever-increasing number of crop dusting planes are being sprayed with very positive results.
