Cytec BR27

Cytec BR127

BR-127 Is a modified epoxy primer which is yellow in appearance and is the most common adhesive bond and corrosion inhibiting primer used in commercial and defence Aircraft and Motorsport applications.

BR-127 primer is used to inhibit corrosion on metal parts and provides excellent bonding with the majority of all film adhesives and offers optimal structural performance at temperatures ranging from -67°F to 302°F (-55°C to 150°C). BR-127 is offered by The Diamond Metal Finishing Co Ltd with several options of pre-treatment application, either by chemical etching, chemical conversion coatings, but mainly with our Phosphoric acid anodising (PAA) treatment. The latter being the ultimate preferred choice for most aerospace applications.

AC-130-2

Many metal surfaces prepared with AC-130-2 yield comparable mechanical results to surfaces prepared with the PAA process.

AC-130-2 is a sol-gel surface preparation for adhesive bonding of aluminium alloys, steel and titanium. It promotes enhanced adhesion because of the chemical interaction at the interfaces between the metal, the AC-130-2 and aerospace primers.
