Achieve Outstanding Performance with PPG's Epoxy Syntactic Paste Adhesives (ESPAs) 

PPG's PR-2940 Series epoxy syntactic paste adhesives (ESPAs) are two-component, modified epoxy adhesives designed for joining, filling and reinforcing honeycomb structures and panels.  

They offer both high mechanical strength and excellent bonding capabilities in a lightweight format. With a wide thermal operating window and exceptional solvent resistance, our adhesives exceed OEM specifications. Additionally, on-ratio mixing simplifies the assembly process, providing consistency, ease, and an optimal extrusion rate. 

Our epoxy syntactic paste adhesives are packaged in a way that minimizes operator exposure to exothermic heat. The exotherm isn't realized until the extruded bead of adhesive is on the component itself, which means the adhesive cures at room temperature; your technicians are never exposed to heat. This unique packaging configuration helps support a safe working environment, helping avoid accidents or injuries that could otherwise be caused by heat or melted cartridges.  


Features

Safety

  • Flame retardant 
  • Cures at room temperature 
  • Chemical resistance to jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, organic solvents and water 
  • Versatile packaging options including dual cartridges, PPG SEMKIT® packages and pre-mixed frozen (PMF) 
  • Meets FAR 25.853 flammability and aerospace FST requirements 
  • Does not include halogen or antimony 

Strength

  • Robust mechanical performance with high compressive strength and modulus 
  • Excellent adhesion to properly prepared metal, plastic and paper honeycomb core 
  • Lightweight (from <0.35g/ml and up) 

Risk Reduction

  • Low outgassing grades for space applications

Benefits

  • More consistent and easier to mix, extrude and apply compared to the competition 
  • Flame retardants are designed with considerations for responsible practices, which can help you achieve your sustainability goals 
  • Apply either manually or automatically with higher confidence 
  • On-ratio mixing (2:1, 4:1) is appealing to assembly technicians
