Alternative to Aeroglaze 9700/9743

[Goatcheesepizza]

With the recent burning down of SPS Technology's main factory, Aeroglaze 9700/9743 is no longer available. Any suggested alternatives? It is used for both joining and sealing.

it appears to be a Socomore not SPS product: https://www.socomore.com/en/curative-component-aeroglaze-9700b-lined-quart.html

Goat, the epoxy primers listed in the epoxy prime process spec at the OEM I work at are:

PPG Desoprime HS: CA7833, CA7502 (chrome free), CA7700, and C7755
Sherwin Williams Aerospace Coatings: SM0483928 (base), CM0120828 (activator)

Most commonly, we use the PPG 7833. If we need chrome-free, then the 7502. We use all of these on both steel and aluminum. Hope this helps.

We are also scrambling to find alternates to things no longer available from the SPS fire.

None of this thread makes sense...

SPS fastener manufacturing has NO relationship to manufacture of epoxy primers. SWC's post clarified this basic truth...

The Issue from Goat... last sentence... "Any suggested alternatives? It is used for both joining and sealing."... implies that they clearly understand that Socomore products are coatings. This fundamental fact is highlighted/expanded-on by Nelle... which makes this posting seem like an advertisement for PPG coatings in disguise.

Wil, you are reading too much into this. I am simply offering possible epoxy alternates for the original poster. I've got no ulterior motives. I am an engineer at Air Tractor. We design and build crop dusting and fire fighting airplanes. We must have robust corrosion prevention measures due to how our airplanes are operated and what they carry (often times corrosive chemicals). We as a company have found these epoxy primers to be robust. I was simply sharing something with the original poster I was hoping would help him out. I am not a PPG salesman and have no affiliations with them, other than knowing they produce good paint. Posts like yours make people like me not want to respond on public forums.
