With lightweighting a top priority to improve aircraft performance and fuel efficiency, there is an increase in the use of light metals such as aluminum, magnesium and titanium in airframe structures and major components. Next generation metal pretreatments are designed to protect against corrosion in the most demanding environments while promoting adhesion between substrate and adhesive/coating with focus on both sustainability and dynamic regulatory requirements, like REACh.
