Mcdonald's Corporate Hangar
MCDONALD’S CORPORATE HANGAR Tire staining, also known as “paw printing” or plasticizer migration, was an ongoing challenge for floor maintenance crews at McDonald’s corporate hangar before the facility’s owner landed on an extremely hard, chemical-resistant urethane finish from Tnemec. “The owner wanted the floor to be as pristine looking as possible, in spite of the hangar’s harsh environment,” Tnemec coating consultant Chris Wascher explained. “Ultimately, Series 247 EverThane was chosen for this job because of its stain- resistant properties.” Series 247 EverThane is an aliphatic moisture-cured urethane with excellent resistance to abrasion, wet conditions, corrosive fumes and chemical contact. Prior to coating the entire 45,000-square- foot hangar, the owner tested the urethane on a small section of the floor that was under heavy traffic from aircraft and their towing vehicles. “They drove over the mock-up and even left tires sitting on the coating overnight,” Wascher noted. “The mock-up successfully demonstrated the cleanability and abrasion resistance of the product.” Prior to applying Series 247, the existing epoxy/urethane system was thoroughly scarified using 100 grit sanding discs attached to PROJECT INFORMATION floor scrubbing machines. After sanding, the floor was carefully cleaned to ensure the surface was dry and free of contaminants, including oil and grease. Series 247 was field-pigmented with a Project Location standard white color during mixing, then roller applied over the Chicago, Illinois Series 291 and allowed to cure for seven days. “The coating contractor commented that the coating had very low odor and Project Completion Date was easy to apply using conventional roller equipment,” Wascher October 2007 recalled.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Angela Heuer, Serafin & Associates, Inc. [email protected] or 312‐943‐1955 DuPage Airport offers 12 minute helicopter access to downtown for corporate travelers with new Vertiport Chicago partnership Debut of next‐gen vertical aircraft facility downtown provides more efficient travel for corporate and private aviation users to or from city center Chicago (April 30, 2015) – With the debut of Vertiport Chicago, DuPage Airport’s aviation customers can now take advantage of 12 minute helicopter ride to or from the West Chicago general aviation facility to downtown Chicago. Reintroducing private helicopters to downtown for the first time since the closure of Meigs Field in 2003, Vertiport Chicago is a state‐of‐the‐art 10‐acre facility – the largest of its kind in North America – serving both helicopters and next‐generation tiltrotor aircraft. Located at 1339 S. Wood St. in the Illinois Medical District, Vertiport Chicago differs from a traditional heliport due to its ability to accommodate next‐generation tiltrotor aircraft able to take off and land vertically (VTOL), fly around adverse weather conditions, accommodate more passengers, and travel at nearly twice the speed and range of a traditional helicopter. DuPage and Vertiport are also planning a “hot spot” transfer on the DPA tarmac for rapid transfer from fixed wing aircraft to helicopters. “We saw an incredible opportunity to partner with a world‐class aviation facility like DuPage to offer seamless, 12 minute helicopter access to and from downtown for their business clientele,” said Vertiport Chicago President and Founder Mike Conklin, a former Marine One helicopter pilot during President Clinton’s Administration.
