Strikegrid®

Overview

STRIKEGRID® CEAF is a phosphoric acid anodized (PAA) continuous expanded aluminum foil (CEAF) product that also includes a proprietary coating which combines to negate the effects of galvanic corrosion when used in conjunction with carbon prepreg materials. STRIKEGRID® can be bonded to aircraft structures either as an outer ply or embedded ‘one-ply down’ beneath a layer of surfacing film.

Applications

Aircraft control surfaces
Exposed composite surfaces
Composite fuselage and aircraft engine nacelles
High-performance composite structures
Marine and naval panels
Wind turbine blades

Features

Able to withstand lightning strikes of up to 200K amps
Unsurpassed corrosion resistance and bond durability
Elevated temperature performance to 350°F/177°C
Prevents surface micro-cracking
Fire and fungus resistant
Eliminates the need for priming
Highly adaptable with ply-cutting equipment when combined with surface films
Available in continuous rolls
