MRO Category: Adhesives & Sealants / Surface Pre-Treatment
Manufacturers Part Number: 7000048184
Sub-Category: Surface Preparation / Adhesion Promoter
Function: Enhances adhesion of primers and adhesives to metals and composites
Use Cases: Structural bonding of airframe metals and composite-to-metal joints
Description:
The 3M AC-130-2 is a two-part, water-based surface pre-treatment system widely used across the aviation industry by aircraft engineers, ground crew and MRO teams. Supplied in a 50-mL (1.7-oz) kit. The product is designed to enhance adhesion between metal substrates such as aluminium, steel and titanium, as well as composite materials, before primer or adhesive application. Its non-chromate, sol-gel formulation provides consistent, durable bonding and reduces process times by up to 35%. Making it ideal for routine maintenance as well as critical AOG situations where speed and reliability are essential. 3M AC-130-2 is easy to apply via brush, spray or immersion and cures at ambient temperature, eliminating the need for heating equipment or complex prep.
For aviation engineers and MRO teams, 3M AC-130-2 ensures strong, moisture-resistant adhesion in demanding environments, helping maintain the structural integrity and longevity of aircraft components. Its compact 50-mL kit format allows precise application without waste, making it a practical choice for AOG repair kits and on-site maintenance operations. Keeping 3M AC-130-2 in stock guarantees that ground crew and engineers can respond immediately to repairs, minimizing aircraft downtime and ensuring compliance with aerospace standards such as Boeing BMS 5-162 Type I Form 2S and Airbus AIPS 10-02-002.
