Temporary masking during acid stripping for aerospace/turbine applications

18 February 2013 aerospace

DYMAX SpeedMask 729 UV/visible light-curable temporary mask provides excellent surface and cavity protection of turbine components during acid-stripping, high-temperature plating processes and other harsh chemical operations.  This maskant has been formulated to withstand soaking in hot acid without permeation or seepage under the mask.  When cured, the mask provides superior surface protection from chemical processing of nickel [...]

Light weight, low density epoxy potting compound is RF transparent

4 December 2009 aerospace

In some applications the weight of potting electronics to protect mechanically or environmentally can be a very significant part of the overall weight of installed equipment – sometimes this can be a problem. We have come up with some very advanced light-weight epoxy potting technology which brings the density right down to 0.6. IRS 2012 [...]

Not just flying high, cooking too

9 October 2007 adhesives

Part of our range of silicone adhesive/sealants from ACC, the Silcoset range has a long-established reputation. They are approved for use by the MOD and Rolls Royce in aerospace and other critical applications. With high temperature resistance and good adhesion, you would expect there to be other, perhaps more conventional, applications as well. You would [...]

Heated discussion settled!

16 March 2007 adhesives

Our expertise through the adhere program is becoming well known. Sometimes, we get thrown some interesting (if not always profitable!) questions: I was wondering if it would be possible for you to settle a heated discussion. In which area of the aerospace industry are adhesives used? Is it only composite materials? Or is it also [...]
