In aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities, 250W infrared heat lamps are utilized for localized, non-contact thermal tasks: [1]
- Composite Material Curing: Providing controlled, localized warmth up to 150°F to cure resins, fiberglass, and carbon-fiber composite patches. [1]
- Adhesive and Sealant Acceleration: Speeding up the drying and bonding times of structural sealants, window compounds, and aerospace adhesives.
- Component Preheating: Warming sensitive metal or plastic parts before mechanical assembly or coating to prevent thermal shock and ensure proper material expansion.
- Paint Spot Drying: Providing clean, targeted thermal energy to dry localized paint or primer touch-ups without heating the entire aircraft cabin or hangar.
