Mankiewicz Coatings
Mankiewicz’s two new advanced coatings products maintain turbine blade surfaces for optimal performance and efficiency. BladeRep5 is a fast setting putty that
dries in one hour with the same profile-building and sandability traits of other Mankiewicz surfacing putties. And Mankiewicz’s new ALEXIT Leading Edge Protection single-coat only requires one-coat application and provides substantial cost savings thanks to less appli- cation time. Field testing has proved significantly longer product performance. Mankiewicz’s coatings also meet the requirements of the cosmetic blade maintenance market. www.bladerep.com
