• Primer/Adhesive Compatibility: Compatible with most aerospace-approved primers and adhesives
• Safety: Non-chromate formulation reduces hazardous exposure; follow SDS guidance for PPE and handling
• Practicality: Ready-to-use, ambient curing, no mixing equipment required

Packaging & Procurement

• Kit Contents: Two-part kit, total 50 mL (1.7 oz)
• Procurement: Use OEM Part Number 7000048290; track lot numbers and shelf-life
• Stocking Recommendation: Compact kit suitable for AOG kits or MRO stockrooms

Advantages for AOG / MRO

• Immediate availability for emergency repairs reduces aircraft downtime
• Ambient curing eliminates delays for heat or oven curing
• High adhesion reliability ensures long-term bond performance
• Compact kit size prevents waste and supports fast deployment by ground crew

Best Practices for Maintenance Teams

• Keep multiple kits in AOG and line-maintenance kits
• Train ground crew on proper application to critical bonding areas
• Maintain material within shelf-life using FIFO rotation
