Product Spotlight – EnduroSharp® Torlon® Adhesive Cutters (TAC)
EnduroSharp® has changed the way aerospace maintenance professionals remove sealants and adhesives from substrates and fasteners. EnduroSharp® tools are made from Torlon®, a high-strength polymer, creating a non-metallic tool that will not damage composite structures during use. The EnduroSharp® lineup consists of a variety of scraper blades, gap blades, reamers, cutters, bits, and discs for the removal of adhesives on aircraft. The product line also includes a variety of kits containing a selection of parts and sizes.
Cutters traditionally are used for enlarging, cleaning, or preparing surfaces with cylindric or conical shapes. But most common cutters are made of materials such as steel, carbide or ceramics and tend to damage complex composite materials.
The EnduroSharp® Torlon® Adhesive Cutters (TAC) are designed to be used with the standard (non-segmented) and tetherable (segmented) mandrels. They can also be used with electric (corded and battery-powered) and pneumatic drills rated at 600 RPM or less. TAC tools are available in boxes of 10, or as part of the EnduroSharp® surface preparation kits.
The EnduroSharp® Torlon® Adhesive Reamers are just one of the many different items offered in the EnduroSharp® product line. Contact Aileen Crass, Product Manager at 513.508.1027 or acrass@performanceplastics.com for more information on our EnduroSharp® kits and products.
