BR® 127 Corrosion Inhibiting Primer


BR 127 datasheet

BR 127 corrosion inhibiting primer is a modified epoxy primer. It is the leading industry standard for high-performance corrosion inhibiting primers and has been used in virtually every commercial aircraft built since its introduction.

BR 127 primer can be used with essentially all 250ºF (120ºC) film adhesives and has been designed to provide optimal structural performance at temperatures ranging from -67ºF to 300ºF (-55ºC to 150ºC).

BR 127 primer is formulated to provide maximum environmental resistance and durability within the bond line, as well as prevent corrosive undercutting. It can also be used effectively as a protective coating outside bonded areas.

BR 127 corrosion inhibiting primer can be cured prior to bonding. Recommended cure cycles range from four hours at 180ºF (82ºC) to 30 minutes at 250ºF (120ºC).

Articles primed with BR 127 primer and then cured have an indefinite shelf life. Primed details should be wrapped in Kraft paper (as protection from dust and dirt) and stored prior to adhesive bonding. Maintaining controlled conditions of 85ºF (29ºC) maximum temperature and 65% maximum humidity is recommended for extended storage life.

Cure cycles for adhesive films primed with BR 127 primer may vary from 200ºF to 350ºF (93ºC to 175ºC) with minimum pressures to assure proper mating of bonded details.
