DesoGel® EAP-9

Fight Corrosion

In the aircraft industry, corrosion is a common issue especially in high humidity areas. Often aircrafts will be exposed to high salt air conditions and need extra protection for aircraft metal surfaces.

Improved environmental, Chrome Free supports environmental sustainability

  • Reduces usage of corrosive, toxic and flammable materials
  • Reduced VOC to drive adherence to local regional environmental initiatives
  • Chrome free product
  • Environmentally compliant
  • Hazardous waste cost reduction
DesoGel® EAP-9 Chromate Free Conversion Coating & Adhesion Promoter can assist with these issues when used with Desoprime™ primers and Desothane® topcoats while also providing an effective, and easy to apply alternative to traditional chromated conversion coatings.

Aerospace qualifications

  • Qualified to BMS10-128
  • AMS 3095A qualifications

Superior Adhesion

DesoGel® EAP-9 provides an effective, easy to apply alternative to traditional chromated conversion coatings. EAP-9 dries to a thin, clear, durable coating that provides protection to the metal and adhesion to the organic coating. It is a dry in place application method eliminates two concerns of chromated solutions: exposure to hexavalent chromium and production of large volumes of contaminated rinse water. EAP-9 has proven to virtually eliminate rivet rash and adhesion issues when used as recommended. EAP-9 is the recommended adhesion promoter for use under Desothane® CA 7700 series, CA 7502 and CA 7502E primers.
