Leadership Team
Nycote® Laboratories Corporation is the only global advanced surface-coating manufacturer that can deliver unrivaled anti-corrosion protection technology for mission-critical systems to the aerospace, automotive, and railway industries, among others. Through a multi-block copolymerization process, Nycote produces clear, chrome-free, lightweight liquid coatings with the flexibility of nylon and the strength of epoxy. These coatings offer unprecedented protection capable of withstanding severe weather conditions and harsh environments.
Trusted and approved for decades by Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and other OEMs worldwide, Nycote’s optimized highly cross-linked copolymer coating creates a self-leveling, pinhole-free complex barrier against corrosion, friction and conductivity that can increase asset lifespan, enhance safety, and reduce maintenance costs. Its one-coat technology can be custom tinted and applied on a multitude of surfaces including fiberglass, carbon fiber, and fabric.
Located in Los Angeles since 1959, Nycote® Laboratories Corporation is proudly owned by a woman(WOSB). Nycote’s advanced coating technology is manufactured to order, suitable for both OEM and MRO application, and is EU/ IATA/ REACH Compliant.

Nycote 7-11, a one-part epoxy modified nylon coating, is tested by Lockheed Georgia Company to evaluate test methods and protective coating for integral fuel tanks. Nycote was compared with other coatings and received the best score for resisting JP-Fuel and Kerosene. It demonstrated a higher temperature capability than all others tested.
On July 26, 1972, Rockwell International won a $2.6 billion contract to build the Space Shuttle Orbiter. Because of its excellent resistance to hydraulic fluids, Nycote received approvals by Sundstand and the Boeing Co. for application on the Space Shuttle Orbiter. The Space Shuttle Orbiter was the world’s first reusable spacecraft and helped support humanity’s most challenging engineering project, the International Space Station (ISS)
