Magnobond 6388-3, Parts A&B, a High Performance
Adhesive, is just one Magnolia product used by the defense industry. Used
in the Patriot Missle System, Magnobond 6388-3 was selected as the best
product available from a pool of thirty-five competitive systems.
Magnobond 6388-3 is a technoligical breakthrough for bonding ceramic radomes
to filament wound epoxy/Kevlar thread ring. The performance profile of Magnobond
6388-3 is
- Endures high temperature and thermal gradients due to aerodynamic
heating
- Withstands surface erosions due to supersonic flight in rain fields
- Stable dielectric and bond strength in presence of long-term storage
at field deployment temperature and humidity
- Bending moment sufficient to withstand thermal excursion (-67F to
+440F) of ceramic/Kevlar ring
- Long Work Life
- Adequate thixotropy to prevent runoff
- Primer compatability
- QPL list to MMM-A-132A, Type 1, Class 3 and MMM-A-134, Type 1
Other Magnolia products used in the defense industry are:
- Magnobond 6150, Parts A&B - High Peel
Strength over a wide range of bondline thicknesses. Good properties
at elevated temperature with moderate heat cure.
- Magnobond 6367, Parts
A&B - Low viscosity fluid system for injection repair.
- Magnobond 6369, Parts
A&B - Good properties to 350F° with a long working time
for convenient application.
- Magnobond 6371, Parts
A&B - A Low Viscosity Product for injection repairs of Aluminum,
Titanium, or Composites with good properties to 350F°.
- Magnobond 6373, Parts
A&B - A long pot life version of Magnobond 6371 above.
Speaking of repairs ... in February, 1994, a Raytheon Starship (S/N
NC-35) crashed just after take-off from Roskilde, Denmark. After attaining
an altitude of just 50 feet, the Starship introduced itself to the frozen
ground at 150 mph and slid 984 feet before coming to rest. There were
no casualties among either the passengers or the crew. Also, significantly
the composites in the craft sufferred no damage although the same cannot
be said of the metal components.
Danish authorities concluded that if the craft had been constructed
of metal, not only would there have been casualties, but the aircraft
would probably have been completely destroyed. Instead, the aircraft
was repaired on-site over a period of 6 months at a cost of $500,000.
The $500,000 repair cost was less than estimated since the bottom of
the Starship only needed repainting after its use as a multi-million
dollar sled.
Part of the repair was a wet layup using dry fibers and an epoxy
resin system from ... you guessed it! ... Magnolia Plastics!
- Magnobond 6390, Parts
A&B - Tough. Temperature Resistant. High Bond Strengths. Especially
designed for Composites.
- Magnobond 6392, Parts
A&B - A standard thixotropic paste which does not run or sag
and has a superior blend of shear and peel strength over a wide temperature
range. This system contains spacer beads for bondline thickness control.
- Magnobond 6394, Parts
A&B - A Non-metallic system used when dielectric properties
are important.
- Magnobond 6398, Parts
A&B - A standard thixotropic paste which does not run or sag
and has a superior blend of shear and peel strength over a wide temperature
range. This system is the same as Magnobond 6392, but contains no spacer
beads for bondline thickness control.
The products listed above are only a few of the many aerospace epoxies
produced by Magnolia Plastics to a wide variety of specifications and
for a wide range of general and specialized uses.
