Fluid-Air Products Inc. | Industrial

INDUSTRIAL - AEROSPACE

Because every material and process is unique, Fluid-Air Products Inc. is your Certified Aerospace Distributor and recommends the best way to handle and apply special materials or coatings. Our solutions can be as simple as a booth side package or a custom designed automatic electrostatic system for your production line. From pump to gun, drum to applicator, from circulating systems to electrostatic guns, we have the solution. The right choice for parts processing.

Whether it's treating raw materials, delivering cutting lubricant or coolant, or removing heavy fluids and waste water, our experts can provide solutions for various applications during the parts fabrication process. We offer a full range of Hydra Clean^® products for surface cleaning of aluminum as well as other medium to high pressure applications. We also offer packages for the chemical milling process with fixed, robotic or manual solutions that use airless, air-assisted airless, high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) or electrostatic applications. These products meet the rigorous safety requirements of the aerospace industry.

SUB-ASSEMBLY

Fluid-Air Products Inc. can recommend metering, proportioning and dispensing packages that are right for specific steps in the sub-assembly process. For example, Graco's plural component proportioners deliver precise, positive displacement metering and dispensing of high viscosity adhesives and sealants, and are ideal for the newer composite materials and processes. With Graco's reliable performance, you can count on improved production rates and a better return on investment.

Sub-assembly and sub-assembly finishing applications

Package solutions that handle, mix and dispense sealants and adhesives
Package solutions that handle, mix and dispense resin transfer molding materials
Package solutions to apply a sealant to the fuel cells
Pumps, hoses and applicators to apply sealants to rivets and joints
Package solutions that apply epoxy and corrosion inhibitors to smaller parts
Air-assisted airless package solutions to apply primer to the interior of a main cell
Batch dispense equipment to meter and dispose spray coating material. You mix only as much material as you need, when you need it. This saves material costs, reduces waste, and eliminates cleaning and disposal of paint cans. You also eliminate hand mixing involved in mix rooms.

The right choice for final assembly and finishing. When larger components of the aircraft enter the critical final assembly stage, you can depend on reliable Graco equipment to get the job done right. For example, Graco's plural component solutions apply sealants and adhesives for joint sealing and atmospheric sealing. Air-assisted airless solutions are used to apply waterborne material for the interior primer and top coat, as well as to apply final protective coating.

Now that your aircraft is fully assembled, our solutions move, measure and apply various paints and coatings needed to give your aircraft a top quality finish. You'll get consistent results, with better quality finishes that stand up to corrosion and harsh conditions. Higher efficiency minimizes material waste as well.

Fluid-Air Products Inc. at work in the finishing process:

High pressure cleaning packages that remove protective coatings
High pressure cleaning packages that are used for cleanup after abrading
Complete packages to apply prime and topcoat materials including epoxy prime or wash prime, polyurethane or epoxy topcoats
For speed stripes and logos, we offer air spray or high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) packages

THE RIGHT CHOICE

From parts processing to final finishing, Fluid-Air Products Inc. offers complete solutions for moving, dispensing and applying fluids in all phases of aerospace manufacturing. With our solutions, you'll get equipment that has been pre-tested and proven to work with a wide range of materials and coatings. We work closely with leading material manufacturers to make sure our fluid handling and application equipment is compatible with the materials you use...materials such as corrosion inhibitors, waterborne materials, sealants and adhesives, polyurethane and epoxy coatings and more.

So no matter what type of aerospace product you're manufacturing --- commercial or military transport planes, fighter aircraft, missiles, helicopters, space vehicles or business craft --- you can depend on our solutions for long-lasting, reliable performance.
