Socomore SOCOGEL-A0203-BLUE(5-LITRE-KIT)

Additional Product Information

Overview

SOCOGEL A0203 BLUE is a high-performance adhesion promoter used in aviation and MRO applications. It is specifically designed to enhance the adhesion of primers and paints on metallic surfaces, including aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel, while preventing rivet rash. Trusted by maintenance teams and aircraft manufacturers, it ensures consistent, durable coatings, reduces rework, and supports both manufacturing and on-wing maintenance operations.

• Surface preparation of aircraft airframes and components for repainting
• Rivet rash prevention on metallic surfaces
• Maintenance and touch-up operations on aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel surfaces
• Support for both solvent and water-based primer and paint systems

Compatibility & Safety Notes

• Compatible with metals: aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and composites
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) recommended during application
• Avoid contact with high-strength steel components such as landing gear
• Ensure proper surface cleaning and abrasion before application
• Use in well-ventilated areas due to potential methanol formation from hydrolysis

Packaging & Procurement
