3M AC-130-2 Surface Pre-Treatment

3M Surface Pre-Treatment AC-130-2 is a high-performance surface preparation for adhesive bonding of aluminum alloys, steel and titanium. AC-130-2 may address concerns about economical and environmental issues found in other conventional processes.Water-based and non-chromated,

3M AC-130-2 may help reduce the amount of hazardous materials and waste typically generated by the bonding surface preparation process. It is also faster and easier to apply, even in the field

Features:

• Helps improve process efficiency
• Up to 35% reduction in labour times
• Helps minimize aircraft on ground
• Two part surface pre treatment

The most common surface preparation techniques used to provide acceptable surfaces for bonding (i.e., phosphoric acid anodizing or sulfuric acid-sodium dichromate etchings) generate hazardous materials and waste that require special handling, control and disposal methods.

When used with the leading adhesive primers and adhesives, 3M AC-130-2 provides an economical alternative to these more costly processes. Testing of 3M AC-130-2 coated surfaces has demonstrated the long-term durability of adhesion to metal. In addition, test data shows that AC-130-2 provides equivalent or better moisture durability than many of the currently used surface preparations for on-aircraft repairs
