View Budnick's Aerospace Sourcing Guide
Custom adhesive tapes and foams enhance aerospace manufacturing applications, like composite bonding, stripping and painting, and interior refurbishing.
Small mistakes in stripping and painting are very costly, so Aerospace manufacturers and refurbishers use trusted masking products that are custom designed for each operation.
Double coated tapes, reclosable fasteners, and surface protection films help you build and protect the luxurious cabins and cockpits that your customers demand.
Double coated, film, and Teflon®(PTFE) tapes help secure vacuum bags to the master tool and provide clean easy release.
Silicone rubber, glass cloth, and foil tapes harness wires and provide high heat protection throughout the aircraft.
