Industrial Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings for HelicopterssMaster Bond formulates a wide variety of epoxy film and paste adhesives for helicopter assembly/MRO applications. These compounds are designed to enhance equipment reliability/efficiency while providing protection against impact, abrasion, corrosion, erosion, fatigue. Mechanical strength properties are maintained at low/elevated temperatures for properly prepared/primed metal to metal, metal to composite and composite to composite surfaces. This includes aluminum, nickel, titanium stainless steel, thermosetting/thermoplastic composite substrates. User friendly high/low viscosity systems feature toughness/durability, outstanding compressive/shear/peel strength, low temperature curing and bond line thickness control.

Products are employed for airframe and interior components in commercial, military, business, civilian helicopters. They are used for freight haulage, search and rescue operations, inter-city commuting, aerial observation, tourism and medical transport. Our adhesives contribute to improved aerodynamics design, weight reduction, lower fuel consumption and noise, increase payload range/capacity, vibration damping. Advanced non-halogenated, flame retardant systems have been tested for fire, smoke, toxic gas emission and are used in interior cabins. Fast setting, non-sag, gap filling high strength materials reduce general repair expenses and can be easily applied with manual/pneumatic dual cartridge gun applicators. They are resistant to water, salt water, JP-4, hydraulic fluids, have good wetting characteristics and are ideally suited to meet specific requirements depending on part location/geometry.
