High performance liquid shim adhesive qualified by Airbus
The newly developed Redux® 870 adhesive of Hexcel has achieved Airbus AIMS qualification 10-07-001, as announced on March 25 , 2008.
Redux 870 is a two-component, gap filling, high performance liquid shim adhesive that was developed by Hexcel to support Airbus requirements for new aircraft programmes. The technical challenge was to provide a shimming adhesive that could be injected and did not suffer from significant slump. The resulting product is easy to handle, has a long working life and cures at room temperature. The cure process may be accelerated with heat to reduce production time.
Other benefits of Redux 870 are its outstanding compression and shear properties and performance at high temperatures.
