Master Bond EP93FRHT two-component non-halogenated epoxy meets Airbus ABD0031 flame retardancy specifications for vertical burn test, smoke emission, and toxic gas emission. It can be employed as an adhesive, sealant, and encapsulating system for interior panels, floor and door assemblies, and frame lining. It also can be used for potting electronics.

It bonds well to metals, composites, glass, ceramic, and many plastics. The service temperature range is -80°F to 400°F. A noteworthy feature of this system after curing is its ability to withstand rigorous thermal cycling. It offers chemical resistance to water, fuels, oils, and many common solvents. It has moderate viscosity with a long open time and a 1-to-1 mix ratio by weight. https://www.masterbond.com

Yingling acquires Bevan Aviation

Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and fixed-base operation (FBO) services provider Yingling Aviation acquired Bevan Aviation, an aircraft maintenance supplier focused on avionics repair and installation. Both companies are based at Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Wichita, Kansas.

Founded in 1954, Bevan’s services range from avionics repair and installation to aircraft inspection and maintenance. Capabilities include the latest avionics technologies and earlier generations of communications systems, autopilots, navigation units, global positioning system (GPS) units, and transponders.

“This acquisition adds depth to Yingling’s avionics service capabilities, strengthens capacity in Wichita, and positions the company for continued growth,” says Jon Nemo, managing partner at AE Industrial Partners, the private equity investor in Yingling Aviation. https://bevanaviation.com; https://www.aeroequity.com; https://yinglingaviation.com
