L&L Products has introduced a range of room temperature curing, high performance epoxy adhesives for aircraft interior applications that meet the latest FAA fire regulations (vertical burn, smoke density and toxicity).

The new adhesives have a wide temperature range in terms of application and in-service conditions and can bond dissimilar materials.

The adhesives are available in two different open time versions: short (12 to 20 minutes) for immediate bonding and long (90 to 120 minutes) for larger parts. They can be supplied in 200 ml) twin-barrel cartridges, 20 liter pails or 200 liter drums.
