Tedlar

Atlanta Aviation International has expanded its operation by establishing a second location dedicated to aircraft interior refurbishment. At the heart of this new facility is a new automated Tedlar Vacuum Covering Machine. This machine was built with a shuttle system designed to increase daily productivity over standard machines. In addition, this machine is controlled by a programmable controller to insure consistent control of true process from panel to panel.

Tedlar covering is the process of applying Tedlar Film Laminate to various components within the interior of the aircraft. There are a number of different types of laminates available, varying from thickness of the laminate to the adhesive applied to the laminate. The proper selection of laminate to be used is determined by the type of part to be covered and its location within the aircraft.

A wide range of designs, colors and textures are available to choose from in decorating an aircraft. Atlanta Aviation International offers two main methods of applying Tedlar: Heat activated and the application of pressure sensitive material. Heat activated Tedlar must be applied using a vacuum Tedlar covering machine.
