The Gill Corp. (El Monte, Calif., U.S.) presents the Gillfab 4037 sandwich panel which is made of 7581 fiberglass cloth reinforced epoxy laminate facings and Dura-Core II aluminum honeycomb core. This panel is designed for nonstructural interiors in business aircraft.

Constructed with lightweight and high-strength materials, Gillfab 4037 exhibits good corrosion resistance. It also has good self-extinguishing characteristics, meeting the specification of the FAR Part 25.853 60-second vertical flammability test to ensure the safety of passengers and crew members.

On average, the panels comes in sizes of 2,438 × 1,219 mm and up to a maximum of 3,568 × 1,727 mm. Additional specifications regarding thicknesses and performance properties can be viewed here.

The Gill Corp. is a manufacturer of high-performance composite materials and products for aerospace, transportation and other industries. The company has extensive vertically integrated capabilities that include fabrication, assembly and kitting. Parts can be delivered that are ready for installation.

Tried-and-true legacy epoxies are a must for aerospace composites, but usage is increasing with improved forms.

Yes, advanced forms are in development, but has the technology progressed enough to make the business case?

FST-certified Loctite EA 9365FST reinforces and bonds thermoplastic and thermoset substrates and can serve as a matrix resin on fiberglass to strengthen the thin walls of thermoplastic assemblies
