From air ambulance interiors to aircraft armor and mission seating, our customers depend on us to provide the most dependable products. They trust us for components, composite materials, and entire interiors capable of withstanding the rigors of each and every mission. Enter adhesives and panel pins for aerospace assembly.
Adhesives and panel pins play a vital role in aerospace assembly. From both an engineering and operational standpoint, the work these two components do is vital to an aircraft's safety and performance. Adhesives and panel pins contribute to structural integrity and durability in ways that are not readily apparent. Without them, aerospace assembly would be entirely different – requiring greater time and expense.
Advanced Aerospace Adhesives
We provide advanced aerospace adhesives used across nearly every type of mission-critical aircraft. These adhesives are specifically engineered to bond various types of materials, including metals, composites, and honeycomb panels.
They are utilized in aircraft interiors for assembling cabinetry as well as floors. The primary advantage they bring to the table is their ability to eliminate mechanical fasteners.
Consider the following:
-
Drilling and Punching – Mechanical fasteners require drilling or punching holes. Both can compromise material performance. Both can generate stress concentrations that are not good for difficult flight conditions or extended use.
-
Load Distribution – Adhesive joints distribute load better than mechanical fasteners do. Loads are distributed more evenly across larger surface areas, thereby optimizing structural integrity and weight.
Some of the other benefits of aerospace adhesives include their extreme temperature resistance, vibration resistance, and ability to handle significant environmental stresses during flight. Not only do our customers appreciate them, but we also use them ourselves in custom-building aircraft interiors for both medical missions and routine passenger transport.
Advanced Panel Pins
Panel pins are structural pins that are often combined with adhesives to bond materials in complex aerospace assemblies. They are often a complement to adhesive bonds by adding mechanical integrity where loads could unduly stress adhesive joints.
Also note that combining panel pins with adhesives offers the strength of a mechanical joint with the seamless aesthetic of an adhesive joint. Engineers can get the best of both worlds for primary and secondary aircraft structures.
The Right Materials for Your Interior
We provide aerospace adhesives and panel pins with the understanding that you need the right materials for your interior. Whether you are engineering an air ambulance interior or an executive aircraft interior, your crew needs to focus on the task at hand. Worrying about aircraft structures should not be their primary responsibility.
Our adhesives and panel pins are lightweight solutions for bonding different materials in aircraft interiors. We engineer them to maintain bonding performance despite temperature swings, pressure changes, and typical operational stresses. In other words, our adhesives and panel pins are engineered to last.
Aerospace Design for Today and Tomorrow
Aerospace manufacturers are relying more on advanced adhesives for bonding dissimilar materials. The best aerospace adhesives are driving new innovations in both structural components and cabin layouts thanks to fewer restrictions in the types of materials designers can use. LifePort is at the forefront of it all.
You need the right materials for your interior. We have them. From adhesives and panel pins to honeycomb panels and other composite components, LifePort's commitment to in-flight safety and product reliability is second to none.
Don't hesitate to contact our team for more information about our aerospace adhesives and panel pins. Ask about our other composite materials as well. And if you would rather that we design and engineer your aircraft's interior entirely, our team can handle everything from start to finish.
