The aerospace group of
Henkel has announced the release of Hysol®PL696 epoxy-based structural film adhesive. The new
adhesive is designed primarily for out-of-autoclave curing process
applications, and is also available in lightning strike configuration. It is a
low-temperature-cure film product that eliminates the need for autoclave curing
and can be cured with a vacuum bag at just 140°F. In addition, it improves the surface quality of composite structures
and is able to bond a variety of similar and dissimilar materials.
Hysol PL696 meets the
requirements of military pacification MMM-A-132. Henkel’s aerospace group will
be launching this product and other products for structural adhesives and metal
surface treatments at SAMPE Wichita, Oct. 20-21, 2009, in booth #910.
