L&L REINFORCE
Advanced Composite Reinforcements
L&L Reinforce
Fire, Smoke, and Toxicity (FST) Compliant Reinforcements for Panel Filling & Edge Finishing.
L&L Advanced Composite Reinforcements enable strength, stiffness, and durability in lightweight composite structures.
Closing out composite panel edges is commonly a very time-and labor-intensive process. Our advanced composite reinforcement series of FST Foaming Adhesive tapes solve the issue by enabling a quick and easy way to trim honeycomb panel edges. The predictable post-cure density provides a uniform material specification for the finished panels.
L&L also offers Honeycomb Panel Reinforcement pastes that are lightweight materials developed to allow honeycomb cores to be readily reinforced in strategic areas without adding unnecessary weight.
Why L&L
Advanced Composite Reinforcements?
HIGH STRENGTH
High strength bonding and adds structure for local reinforcement while providing a lightweight solution.
SAFE HANDLING
These products provide safe handling with no pungent odors. Additionally meeting FST regulations for FAR 25.853 and ABD0031.
PROCESS FINISHING
L&L’s Advanced Composite Reinforcements are easy to apply, have a long shelf life, reduce post-processing machining, and require no mixing or weighing of separate components.
