As a partner to the aerospace industry since 1954, Bostik has developed numerous adhesive solutions designed specifically for aircraft applications.

Although invisible to passengers, these high-technology products play a critical role in safety and comfort, helping to ease cabin vibration during take-off and landing and reducing noise throughout the flight.

Bostik became a member the Arkema family in early 2015. Together, the two companies offer a broad array of products for the aerospace industry, including innovative solutions to join difficult materials, strengthen others and reduce aircraft weight.

"Making materials more lightweight is an integral part of our research and development strategy," notes Bernard Pinatel, Arkema Executive Vice-President High Performance Materials and Bostik Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is a critical challenge in the years ahead in the drive to build even stronger and lighter aircraft, both in response to manufacturers' needs and to reduce atmospheric emissions and noise pollution. As France prepares to host the COP21 climate conference in just a few months, we felt that it was important to re-emphasize our strategy and R&D efforts in this area."
