The Central Europe application support center (ASC) operated by PPG in Hamburg, Germany, has been approved by Airbus for repackaging aerospace sealants from bulk containers into customer-friendly point-of-use packages.
PPG will repackage three grades of PR-1782 low-density fuel tank and fuselage sealant into SEMKIT packages for Airbus and its subcontractors as well as Airbus aircraft operators and maintenance and repair operations in 22 countries across Europe.
According to Ulrich Krueger, PPG managing director, aerospace sales and services, Central Europe, PPG worked with Airbus to understand Airbus’s needs and to recommend the optimal Semkit packages for the sealants.
“Semkit packages are well established in the industry for pre-proportioned, two-part aerospace sealants, and Airbus is well acquainted with their time-saving, efficiency and quality benefits,” Krueger said. “The Hamburg ASC offers tailored packaging capabilities and is strategically located to supply Airbus and affiliated operations across Europe. With expanded sealants production capacity at PPG’s Shildon, England, facility, we have the unmatched ability to meet their needs today and in the future.”
