Product Description
LOCTITE EA 9695 .050 PSF AERO is a one-component epoxy film adhesive with a .050 PSF supplied film weight for aerospace composite bonding. It supports co-cure and bonding of pre-cured laminates, with low flow to limit adhesive intermingling with prepreg resin. The film is ready to use as received and provides a long open assembly window. Processing can use 121 deg C or 177 deg C cure cycles. After a 120-minute cure at 177 deg C, tensile lap shear on phosphoric-acid-anodized 2024-T3 bare aluminum is 34.5 MPa at 25 deg C. Applications include composite co-cure, pre-cured laminate bonding, and repair.
Key features
- Supplied Film Weight: Supplied at a .050 PSF film weight for aerospace composite bonding.
- Low-flow co-cure behavior: Low flow minimizes intermingling with prepreg resin during composite processing.
- Aluminum lap shear: Tensile lap shear is 34.5 MPa at 25 deg C on phosphoric-acid-anodized 2024-T3 bare aluminum after a 120-minute cure at 177 deg C.
Applications
Applications include composite structure co-cure, pre-cured laminate bonding, and composite repair.
