4. Improves paint bonding to
composites and plastics withminimal
surface preparation and enhances
adhesion to othermaterials.
Streamlines manufacturing and no
aromatic hydrocarbons for saferuse.
7. Lighter, more fuel efficient aircraft
through increased use of reinforced
plastics and improved structural
performance of composites.Improves
bonding of thermally-cured paintsand
coatings to compositecomponents.
10. New bonding possibilitiesbetween
plastics and composites tosurfaces
including leather, aluminium and
wood. More stronglybonded
core-skin sandwich panelsenhance
the strength ofsuperstructures.
13. Improves the fibre matrix integration
to produce lightweight, stronger
composites. For ballistic protection,
fibre sizing can be used to modify the
surface chemistry of difficult-to-bond
fibres like Dyneema® and Spectra®,
or aramids such asKevlar®.
15. Enables widespread use of
plastics and advanced composites
in industries like construction,
electronics and packaging. Aquick
and simple way of preparingsurfaces
for adhesion bonding. Enhances
adhesion of barrier coatings and
conductive inks tosubstrates.
18. Improves compatibility of fibre
reinforcement agents to matrix
materials on composite structuresfor
wind or tidal generation. Improves
bonding of paints and coatings to
structures such as towers andblades
– with minimal surfacepreparation.
