Inline-capable measuring techniques should enable quality assurance of applied sealants in the future.
December 20, 2024
A new IGF research project is being conducted with the SKZ Plastics Center and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials researching several non-destructive testing methods to advance the quality assurance of sealing compounds.
The Stabond Firewall 2K silicone sealant is developed specifically for aerospace and defense contractors looking for reliable protection against extreme temperatures and hazardous conditions.
The global aerospace sealants market is experiencing growth due to a rise in demand for aircraft and the surge in interest in space exploration and the increasing number of satellite launches.
The company successfully passed the extensive audit and received Nadcap accreditation for demonstrating its ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry specifications.
The new system will provide Satys with PPG’s e-coating technology, improving speed of production, a more consistent product, and reducing the environmental impact of the aerospace industry.
Whether using a silicone adhesive in an aerospace assembly or manufacturing silicone bakeware, post-cure for silicone is not a process that belongs in the past.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may find that post-curing can bring value to certain applications. To determine if post-cure is the best option, it’s important to better understand what is happening during the process, the advantages it offers, and key best practices.
