Stewart Systems
As a representative, Vliegwerk Holland is proud to offer Stewart Systems… the revolutionary, environmentally friendly solution for fabric covering and painting.
Stewart Systems provides a complete process for covering, doping, and finishing your aircraft. While it utilizes industry-standard fabrics (such as Ceconite, Poly-Fiber, and Superflight), the true innovation lies in the adhesives and coatings. These materials are non-hazardous, non-flammable, and completely odorless, making them safer for both the technician and the environment.
What Makes it Revolutionary?
Unlike traditional dopes and paints, Stewart Systems does not rely on harsh, corrosive chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for both professional hangars and homebuilders who prefer to work without irritating smells or health-risks associated with solvents. As global regulations increasingly restrict the use of harmful chemicals, Stewart Systems stands as the perfect, future-proof replacement.
Compatibility: The system is fully compatible with existing finishes, making repairs to current aircraft simple and seamless.
Certifications: The system is FAA STC approved, with various approvals available across EU member states.
The Secret: Waterborne Technology
The breakthrough behind Stewart Systems is the use of water as a carrier for the solids in the coatings.
While traditional aircraft paints rely on high-risk, hazardous solvents to carry resins, Stewart Systems uses waterborne technology. This is not “water-based” in the traditional sense; water is simply the vehicle used to reduce viscosity for spraying. Once dry, the finish is indistinguishable from high-end solvent-based paints, offering exceptional durability, flexibility, and a high-gloss finish.
