The 3M™ Surface Pre-Treatment AC-130 is a high-performance surface preparations for adhesive bonding. This sol-gel surface preparation is for adhesive bonding of aluminum alloys, steel and titanium. With a quick processing time this surface prep is ideal for composite repairs.

Learn More The 3M Scotch Weld EC-3587 BA Class B-14 is a two-part polyurethane that cures at room temperature or with heat to a tough, impact-resistant material. It has excellent adhesion to many metal and plastic substrates. The EC-3587 Class B-14 has a worklife of 5-20 minutes at 73°F (23°C). It can be used as structural adhesive, void filler, or as a fairing compound.

CLOTH, BREATHER, 10 OZ, 60″ WIDTH The HCS2102 Series BreatherBleeder Cloth is a needlepunch polyester breather system commonly used as a vacuum transfer medium in the vacuum bagging process. It can be used at pressures up to 85psi (5.8 bars). The HCS2102-04 cloth can be used at pressures up to 200psi (13.8 bars). Multidirectional conformability make it a very efficient breather. This cloth does not contain any binders which could seal off air flow. The breather is required for air evacuation and the bleeder system is required to absorb excess resin. Recommended maximum use temperature: 400°F (204°C).

RELEASE, TEFLON, POROUS, .002″” (2 MIL), 37.5″ WIDTH The HCS2103-P Release Fabric is a porous release Tefl on® coated fiberglass. The porosity is always the same; the release coating does not vary from roll to roll and will release from all commercial resin systems. Teflon® Coated FiberglassPorous Release Fabric is used as a release ply that allows out gassing of volatiles during processing. It is generally used for high temperature 350°F (177°C) applications.

4in x 10in (10.6cm X 25.4cm), 120V, 200 WATTS Our Silicone rubber heat blankets are specifically designed for the repair of composite structures using vacuum bagging techniques. The unique construction of our heat blankets allows you to apply uniform heat exactly where you want it. Our design employs a grid of wound resistance wire vulcanized between two layers of fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber. This design features strength, flexibility, durability and even heat distribution.
