Fast Pressure Sensitive Paints

TurboFIB® Pressure Sensitive Paint

(Product ID: TF-XXX)

TurboFIB® pressure sensitive paint (PSP) is a single-luminophore, single application PSP formulated to be applied with paint spraying equipment. TurboFIB® provides many of the advantages of UniFIB® PSP, but with faster response (1 kHz) and reduced temperature sensitivity. This paint formulation may be excited effectively from 380-nm to 550-nm, however, 400-nm radiation from ISSI LED modules is recommended for ideal response and pressure sensitivity. The paint may be applied to most surfaces, though it is recommended that plastics and rapid prototyping resins first be coated with SCR-XXX (Screen layer) to protect the surface from solvent damage. FIB Basecoat™ is not recommended for use with TurboFIB®. The calibration of TurboFIB® (shown below) is very stable and repeatable thus TurboFIB® is recommended for advanced/professional PSP users who seek high quality unsteady pressure data.

Porous, Fast-Response Pressure Sensitive Paint

Product ID: FP-XXX)

Porous, Fast-Response PSP is a three component, single-luminophore high speed pressure sensitive paint (PSP) formulated to provide high speed response (>10kHz) suitable for unsteady pressure measurements with high pressure sensitivity. The temperature sensitivity of these paints is higher than UniFIB® or TurboFIB™ so this PSP is best suited for isothermal environments. Porous, Fast PSP has been used for several years for buffet and acoustics testing for commercial and military air vehicles, fast-response film cooling and rotating machinery applications for helicopters and gas turbines. This paint comes in three parts. The base layer of Porous, Fast PSP is applied using an HVLP spray gun to the surface of study with a wet application to achieve a smooth finish. Once the base layer is dry, apply part C with paint spraying equipment, the over-spray. The over-spray (part C) may be reapplied more than once.
