Precision repair application in areas such as fastener holes as small as 3/16 inch 

Henkel compact conversion coating pen simplifies aircraft touchup

MADISON HEIGHTS, MICH. – To simplify touch-ups in hard-to-reach areas like fastener holes, Henkel Adhesive Technologies - a leader in structural adhesives and surface treatments for the aircraft OEM and MRO industries – has introduced the BONDERITE M-CR 1132 M AERO Pen, a compact version of the BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO Touch N Prep Pen.
The compact BONDERITE M-CR 1132 M AERO pen delivers controlled application of dry-in-place chromate conversion coating on aircraft surfaces, which can be air-dried or force-dried with warm air. This user-friendly design minimizes material waste, reduces labor time and enhances efficiency, while reducing worker exposure to chromating solutions.

Additionally, an optional extended slim tip is available and designed for optimal penetration and precision in tight spaces, including fastener holes as small as 3/16-inch. Its no-rinse formula effectively treats bare aluminum substrates, providing superior corrosion protection.
