The arm supports in the Lufthansa Citylines seats have to be repaired on a regular base due to the high stresses in this area. The maintenance department has decided to bond the damaged threaded collar out of anodised steel into the Epoxy-GRP seat construction with Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy FR. The advantages are clear. Excellent adhesion on both substrates (higher strength compared to the original parts), perfect viscosity to bond the collar into the seat construction, short fixture times to get the products immediately in use again and the flame retardant formulations to comply with high standards in the aviation industry.          

Lufthansa CityLine required and fast-curing epoxy to repair the plane seats with minimum disruption to flights. 5 minute Epoxy FR was applied to bond composite CRP to anodized steel.

This rapid setting, 2 component epoxy paste is ideal for applications requiring a self extinguishing structural adhesive system.
