A sol-gel surface preparation for adhesive bonding of aluminum alloys, steel and titanium. Promotes enhanced adhesion as a result of the chemical interaction at the interfaces between the metal, the AC-130-2 and the primer.
- Many metal surfaces prepared with AC-130-2 yield comparable mechanical results to surfaces prepared with the PAA process
- Reduces hazardous materials from the bonding surface preparation process
- Helps minimize Aircraft on Ground (AOG) time compared to traditional processes; ambient-temperature curing allows for field repairs
- Ambient-temperature curing makes field repairs possible
- Comparable mechanical results to surfaces prepared with the PAA process
- Ambient-temperature curing makes field repairs possible
- Helps improve process efficiency; enables many metallic substances to be prepared with a single method
