Choosing the right adhesives for aerospace interiors

摘要

There are three main drivers that govern all materials used in aircraft interiors: passenger safety, weight management and aesthetics. The critical requirements for adhesives are that they ensure the safety and comfort of passengers, deliver durability and performance of individual interior components and ensure compliance with regulations. Flammability regulations relate to all aspects of aircraft interiors - both visible and invisible. In the process flow for the construction of interior components made from composite panels, adhesives play a key role at all levels, from core splicing to insert potting, edge filling, panel assembly, veneers' application and reinforcement for fixtures and fittings.
