We know that every aerospace coating environment is different. Product systems, substrates, processes, equipment, facilities and operational requirements can all influence the right approach. So, for more complex applications, or for advice on specific products and systems, our Technical Services and Training Team can provide tailored support.
Episode 2: Aerodur 42240 - Why Solvent Choice Matters
When working with Aerodur Sealer 42240, using the correct solvent for flushing and rinsing your lines is essential. This episode explains why solvent 98066 must be used, showing how the sealer reacts when an incompatible solvent is used and how the correct solvent helps the material mix and dissolve properly.
