SOCOGEL B 0102 / 5000 ML

ADHESION PROMOTER SOCOGEL B 0102 / 5000 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. SOCOGEL B0102 uses technology licensed by BOEING and is particularly effective for surface preparation prior to adhesive bonding.

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

SOCOGEL B0102 performances comply with current aeronautical requirements and provide an alternative to anodizing technologies such as chromic and sulphuric processes. The product requires no rinsing after application and can be dried at ambient temperature. It is supplied as a colourless, 2 component kit.
