The Importance of Effective Paint Removal for Airfield Safety

Airfield markings play a critical role in ensuring the safety and direction of pilots during take-off, landing, and taxiing. Hi-Lite understands the importance of periodically refreshing these markings to maintain their effectiveness. However, before applying a new coat of paint, it is essential to remove the old layers properly.

Proper paint removal not only provides a superior surface for the new markings to bond with but also guarantees brighter, more visible, and long-lasting markings that enhance airfield safety. Moreover, removing old paint prevents the hazard of loose paint becoming dangerous Foreign Object Debris (FOD), which can damage aircraft and pose a significant safety risk.
