SIERRACOTE LICENCE AGREEMENT Napier, in a recently concluded agreement with the Sierracin Corporation, Burbank, California, received the exclusive rights to manufacture, use, and sell the "Sierracote" and "Sierraglo" processes in the United Kingdom and Europe. "Sierracote" is a transparent, conductive coating used for heating aircraft windscreens, and cockpit canopies, and other industrial applications where de-icing or de-misting is required. "Sierracote" therefore complements the Napier "Spraymat" de-icing system.
