Re: RLM 81/82 – More secrets unveiled

""""Flieglack 7012 and 7122 were both based on phenol resin ("Phenolharzverkochung in aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen") and Flieglack 7155 was based on polyvinylchloride ("Polyvinylchlorid und Antimon in aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen").""""

Chemestry is not my strong side, so might be misinformed or wrong ( I can take that, thats part of learning more ), I see PVC plastics there - but the "composite chemistry" of the paints was basically that Luftwaffe paints need hardener ?

SZD Jantar is rather old by todays standards ;-) and yes, Gelcoat (epoxy or polyester based) often chalks outside.
