Adhesively bonded nutplates are increasingly being utilized in the manufacture of aerospace structures, with extensive use in securing removable maintenance access panels. When nutplates fail and they will, it can take an excessive amount of time to replace them, resulting in undesirable aircraft down-time.
Performance Plastics has been working with various supply partners to provide a smaller, easy to carry, essentials “Lil ABNIR” Surface Prep Kit. Although much smaller, this compact kit contains the essentials to provide a quicker method of removing adhesive residue and surface preparation of the structure and nutplate bond surfaces.
