Structural Adhesives
Hysol® Paste Adhesives and Specialty Resins
Hysol® one and two-part epoxy paste adhesive systems for potting, bonding, fairing and repair; moldable plastic shim; matrix resins; specialty resins for resin transfer molding, wet lay-up and repair.
The current developmental products include VARTM, RTM and RFI materials based upon Henkel's new Epsilon chemistry. This new chemistry based upon benzoxazine chemistry is room temperature stable and has high Tg, even under wet conditioning.
Hysol® Film Adhesives and Primers
Hysol® and Plastilock® film adhesives and corrosion-inhibiting low VOC primers for metal and composite bonding; engine nacelle bonding; honeycomb applications such as control surfaces, wing flaps, engine slats, leading edges and wing-to-body fairings.
Nitrile phenolic systems provide excellent chemical and fuel resistance. Henkel acquired the Plastilock® line of aerospace adhesives from Sovereign Specialty Chemicals, Inc. in 2004. This acquisition included adhesives, surfacing films, core splices and nitrile phenolics.
Core Splice Adhesives
Extensive product selection of foaming core splice adhesives; controlled expansion; excellent slump resistance; dual cure capabilities; low exotherm properties; closed cell technology; extrudable versions available.
Syntactic Products
SynSpand® closed-cell expanding syntactic films for custom density-to-strength ratios in honeycomb core fill and core splice, resulting in lower costs of co-cure applications by eliminating secondary manufacturing processes.
SynCore® syntactic films for lightweight composite designs. Ideal for edge close-out and composite sandwich structure.
SynSkin® composite surfacing films for flawless off-tool composite surface and reduction of surface preparation steps prior to painting.
Frekote® Mold Release Coatings
Frekote semi-permanent release coatings, the standard mold release agents for composite and metal tool surfaces. Dependable release, ease of application, high gloss finish, minimal mold build-up and maximum releases per application. The newest Frekote® product is water-based and low VOC.
