The Transportation
division of Bostik Inc. has introduced a strippable, high-performance,
fire-retardant film adhesive designed to replace solvent-based adhesives used
to bond decorative laminates to composite panels for interior aerospace
applications. FPA110-1FR film adhesive adheres to Tedlar, vinyl, aluminum,
polyamide film, phenolic prepregs and various fabrics and wools. It passes
Boeing specification BMS 5-158 Type 2 and can be pre-applied and later bonded
with heat and pressure to the composite panel at a bond line temperature of 113oC
and pressures of 20-50 psi.
Bostik Inc. is a unit
of Total SA, a $170-billion multinational company with extensive worldwide
interests in oil exploration, petroleum refining and the formulation of
specialty chemicals. The company’s product line includes elastomeric adhesives
and sealants, structural adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, solvent- and waterborne
