(Alpharetta, Ga., U.S.) is launching AeroPaste 1003, a new grade of its epoxy-based structural paste adhesives which already includes AeroPaste 1006 and 1100. The aerospace adhesive increases part assembly efficiency while also offering improved processing flexibility, making it ideal for targeted high-production rates in markets such as advanced air mobility, commercial aerospace and defense.
AeroPaste 1003 is designed for structural bonding of metallic and composite parts, rapid assembly, repair applications and is suitable for out of autoclave. It has high-temperature strength performance, and is easy to mix with controlled flow properties to enable easy dispensing. It provides film-like properties and performance, reported to be comparable or better than film adhesives currently on the market.
AeroPaste 1003 can be used in automated processes supporting industrialization requirements in the aerospace industry by increasing manufacturers’ efficiency and output, resulting from its quick and easy application.
