  1. CYTEC Engineered Materials Inc., Havre de Grace, MD (United States)

CYTEC Engineered Materials Inc. has developed several adhesives based on LaRC{trademark} PETI-5 Polyimide Resin for bonding titanium and composite substrates. These adhesives are intended for long term service at 177{degrees}C (350{degrees}F) and are processed at 350{degrees}C (660{degrees}F) in conventional autoclaves under 50 psi pressure. Titanium lap shears range from 48.3MPa (7000 psi) at room temperature to 31MPa (4500 psi) at 177{degrees}C (350{degrees}F). Excellent metal-to-metal peels and honeycomb bonding properties are reported for these products. In addition to film adhesive, primer and paste products have been described. Pilot line quantities of several hundred square feet of the film adhesive have been produced and sampled under the CYTEC designation FM{reg_sign} x5.
