Market Applications for Silanes - Aerospace

Aerospace

As saving weight is a critical factor when conceiving aircrafts, the Aerospace industry has been one of the earliest and most innovative consumers of light-weight materials requiring adhesives and sealants as a joining method.

With the oil crisis surfacing in the 1970s, saving energy has come up strong on the agenda encouraging wider use of composites and engineering plastics to build economically viable aircrafts encouraging the extensive use of adhesive and sealant technologies.

Key criteria for adhesives and sealants in Aerospace are :

• Outstanding mechanical performances with high resistance to vibrations
• Exceptional resistance to temperature and climatic variations
• Versatility towards the different types of materials to be bonded.
  

Dynasylan^® silanes can enhance Adhesive/Sealant formulations to reach these targets
and will provide the following benefits:

• they will enhance mechanical performances and ease bonding of dissimilar materials
• they will provide lasting ageing resistance to face the most demanding environments
• they will contribute to optimize adhesion on materials by acting as molecular bridges between the Adhesive/Sealant and the substrate.
