Able Aerospace Adhesives: The Ultimate Solution for Aerospace and Industrial Adhesive Needs
GracoRoberts is a leading distributor, manufacturer, and custom packager of adhesives, sealants, and surface treatments for aerospace, industrial & more industries. One of their most popular product lines is Able Aerospace Adhesives. This line of adhesives has been specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the aerospace industry.
Able Aerospace Adhesives are known for their exceptional strength and durability. They are able to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressures, and harsh environments without losing their adhesive properties. This makes them ideal for use in aircraft engines, landing gear systems, fuel tanks, and other critical components.
One of the key features that sets Able Aerospace Adhesives apart from other adhesives on the market is their ability to bond dissimilar materials together. This means that they can be used to join metals with composites or plastics with ceramics – something that was previously impossible with traditional adhesives.
In addition to their superior bonding capabilities, Able Aerospace Adhesives also offer excellent resistance to chemicals and corrosion. They are able to withstand exposure to fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, solvents and other harsh chemicals without breaking down or losing their adhesive properties.
Another advantage of using Able Aerospace Adhesives is that they are easy to apply. They can be applied using a variety of methods including spray guns or brushes depending on the specific application requirements.
Able Aerospace Adhesive products come in a range of formulations including epoxies , polyurethanes , silicones , acrylics , cyanoacrylates (instant adhesives), anaerobics (threadlockers), UV curables , hot melts , solvent-based contact cements . Each formulation has been specifically designed for different applications within the aerospace industry.
For example:
- Epoxies: These are ideal for bonding metals together as well as composites and plastics. They offer excellent strength and durability, making them ideal for use in aircraft engines, landing gear systems, and other critical components.
- Polyurethanes: These are ideal for bonding dissimilar materials together such as metals with composites or plastics with ceramics. They offer excellent resistance to chemicals and corrosion, making them ideal for use in fuel tanks and other harsh environments.
- Silicones: These are ideal for sealing applications where flexibility is required. They can be used to seal gaps between components or to create a watertight seal around electrical connectors.
- Acrylics: These are fast-curing adhesives that offer excellent bonding strength. They can be used to bond a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, and composites.
- Cyanoacrylates (instant adhesives): These are fast-curing adhesives that offer excellent bonding strength. They can be used to bond a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, and composites.
- Anaerobics (threadlockers): These are designed specifically for locking threaded fasteners in place. They prevent loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion/contraction.
- UV curables: These are designed specifically for applications where rapid curing is required. They cure quickly when exposed to UV light which makes them ideal for high-volume production environments.
- Hot melts: These are thermoplastic adhesives that melt when heated and solidify when cooled. They can be applied using hot melt guns or rollers depending on the specific application requirements.
- Solvent-based contact cements : these types of adhesive require the surfaces being bonded together must first have their surfaces coated with the adhesive before being pressed together
Able Aerospace Adhesive products also come in different packaging options such as cartridges , syringes , pails , drums . This allows customers to choose the most convenient packaging option based on their specific needs.
In addition to their product offerings, GracoRoberts also offers custom packaging services for customers who require specialized packaging solutions. This includes custom labeling, barcoding, and kitting services.
Overall, Able Aerospace Adhesives are the ultimate solution for aerospace and industrial adhesive needs. They offer exceptional strength and durability, excellent resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and are easy to apply. With a range of formulations and packaging options available, customers can choose the most appropriate product for their specific application requirements.
