3M™ Aerospace Surface Pre-Treatment AC-130-2, 1000 mL Kit, 4 Each/Case

We developed 3M™ Surface Pre-Treatment AC-130-2 as a high-performance, water-based solution gelation (sol-gel) system to improve adhesive bonding of metal and composite surfaces. Our high-performance, non-chromated pre-treatment is ideal for aluminum alloys, steel, titanium and composites.

A More Sustainable Solution for Modern Coating Systems
Today’s coating systems have high performance requirements for surface preparation. While traditional processes may produce acceptable results, they can also produce unacceptable amounts of hazardous waste. Common processes such as phosphoric acid anodizing (PAA) or sulfuric acid-sodium dichromate etchings involve hazardous materials and can be difficult to perform in the field. Now, we can offer a high-performance surface pre-treatment that delivers equivalent performance to PAA – in less time. Our water-based sol-gel system will enhance adhesion between aluminum alloys, steel, titanium and composites and help reduce overall operating costs.

Effectiveness, Cost Reduction, and Sustainability
In order to bring surface preparation processes into the 21st century, we created an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional, high cost, hazardous waste generating materials. When you add it all up, 3M Surface Pre-Treatment AC-130-2 offers significant water use reduction and a total cost savings when compared to conventional processes. Both water-based and non-chromate, 3M AC-130-2 is your environmentally responsible alternative to traditional surface preparation for adhesive bonding.
