SOCOGEL B 0102 / 1000 ML

ADHESION PROMOTER SOCOGEL B 0102 / 1000 ML is a pre-bond surface preparation sol-gel designed to improve the adhesion of aerospace adhesive bonds and paint on metallic and composite surfaces. It uses technology licensed by BOEING and is particularly effective for surface preparation prior to adhesive bonding.

Technology & Applications

SOCOGEL B0102 is based on aqueous solutions of zirconium salts activated by an organo-silicon compound. After application and curing, the Solgel solution forms a high performance hybrid coating that enhances the adhesion of bonding systems on metals and alloys such as Aluminium, Titanium and Stainless Steel.

Key Features

• Developed for pre-bond surface preparation.
• Improves adhesion of aerospace adhesive bonds and paint on metallic and composite surfaces.
• Performance complies with current aeronautical requirements.
• Provides an alternative to anodizing technologies such as chromic and sulphuric processes.
• No rinsing is required after application, reducing operating and effluent treatment costs.
• Can be dried at ambient temperature.
