Product Introduction
The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Composite Surfacing and Lightning Protection Film AF 536 is a thermosetting, modified epoxy film designed to provide a high-quality, smooth surface on composite structures. It minimizes the need for pre-paint preparation and is resistant to paint strippers, ensuring a durable, glossy finish. This translucent film allows for easy inspection of the underlying composite material and offers excellent handling characteristics for simple repositioning during application.
3M™ AF 536 Features:
- Excellent compatibility with a wide range of composite materials.
- Flexible cure temperature range from 120°C (250°F) to 177°C (350°F).
- Provides a smooth, glossy surface that significantly reduces pre-paint preparation time.
- Superior paint stripper resistance helps maintain surface quality.
- Translucent finish allows for easy visual inspection of the underlying composite.
- Features excellent handling and repositioning capabilities during layup.
- Available in versions with or without an integrated lightning protection conductor.
3M™ AF 536 Applications:
- General purpose surfacing for various composite structures.
- Finishing composite parts that require a smooth, glossy appearance and easy inspection.
- Applications where resistance to paint strippers is crucial for maintaining surface integrity.
- Aerospace and industrial projects requiring integrated lightning protection.
- Composite manufacturing processes that benefit from easy handling and repositioning.
