Most of the products we see in everyday use are made from
monolithic materials. In essence, that means they are produced from a
single material - e.g. an unreinforced plastic - or several materials
that have been combined in such a way that the individual components
are indistinguishable - e.g. a metal alloy, a good example being
brass, an alloy of zinc and copper.
EASA is the European Aviation Safety Agency , whose role is
‘laying down and implementing rules for the airworthiness and
environmental certification of aircraft and related products, parts
and appliances, as well as for the certification of design and
production organisations’. CS 25 applies to large commercial
aircraft and repairs using SATTO® produce results that
comply with these regulations.
As explained in the definition of ‘substrate’, SATTO® SA20-21 is not
just a product that enables two plastic surfaces to adhere to each
other in order to repair a split or break. It has been designed (a)
to become part of the repaired plastic, creating a very strong bond
between broken sections and (b) to do that in a way that also enables
SATTO® SA20-21 to be used when fill and bond is required. Examples would be
to bond broken sections of aircraft cabin products at the same time
as replacing any missing plastic. The missing material could be a
depression, a hole, or even a section that has completely broken away
and has been lost.
A form of adhesive bonding involving the attraction between the
molecules of an adhesive and a surface material
The process of binding materials together using any number of
adhesive substances.
A form of adhesive bonding involving a reaction that results in
covalent bonds between the molecules of the adhesive and the surface
material
The process in which an adhesive undergoes a chemical reaction and
becomes a solid. Curing requires pressure, heat, UV light, water or
some other means to initiate the chemical reaction and form the
bonded joint
The Material Safety Data Sheet provides a mechanism for
transmitting appropriate safety information on classified substances
and preparations, including information from the relevant Chemical
Safety Report down the supply chain to the immediate downstream
users. The information provided in the MSDS sheets is consistent with
the information in the Chemical Safety Report, where one is required.
