Film adhesives EQUIVALENTS
AF-1424
01
AF-1424 from MAKO Advanced Materials is a high-temperature film adhesive engineered as a modern, American-made offset to Cytec HT-424®. Designed for demanding aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy applications, AF-1424 meets the requirements of Federal Specification MMM-A-132 and Military Specification MIL-A-25463, Type II and III. Manufactured in Henderson, Nevada, it delivers excellent strength, durability, and toughness while using more benign, PFAS-free chemistry with reduced odor and improved OSHA standing. AF-1424 also offers longer outlife, shorter lead times, and lower minimum order quantities, making it a practical, high-performance alternative for qualified bonding applications.
AF-1000
02
AF-1000 from MAKO Advanced Materials is a high-performance film adhesive engineered as a Made-in-USA offset to 3M™ AF-163-2. Designed for demanding aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy applications, AF-1000 delivers excellent strength, durability, and processing versatility, with cure cycles comparable to the original 250°F film adhesive. Manufactured in Henderson, Nevada, it supports laminate and honeycomb core bonding while maintaining broad compatibility with existing procedures. AF-1000 is PFAS-free and formulated with more benign chemistry, offering improved environmental and OSHA profiles. Customers also benefit from shorter lead times, lower minimum order quantities, and streamlined procurement for qualified programs.
PREPREG EQUIVALENTS
Aerofin P-3300S
03
MAKO’s Aerofin P-3300S is a high-performance silica phenolic ablative prepreg designed for extreme-temperature applications, including rocket nozzles, solid rocket motor (SRM) components, and thermal protection systems. Manufactured in the U.S., P-3300S combines a specialized phenolic resin system with heat-treated silica reinforcement to deliver the thermal and ablative performance required for demanding aerospace and defense applications.
With the ablative phenolic prepreg supply chain facing significant capacity constraints and prolonged lead times, Aerofin P-3300S provides a reliable alternative source for critical programs. MAKO’s silica phenolic system utilizes silica fabrics sourced through new supply chains specifically designed to help alleviate material bottlenecks and improve supply continuity.
Aerofin P-3300S is an equivalent alternative to Park F-554 and Cytec/Syensqo MX-2600, giving manufacturers an additional U.S. source for critical ablative composite materials without relying solely on constrained legacy supply chains. Available in both traditional continuous-fabric broadgoods prepreg and chopped molding compound.
Aerofin P-3300C
04
MAKO Aerofin P-3300C is a high-performance carbon phenolic ablative composite material designed for extreme-temperature applications, including rocket nozzles, solid rocket motor (SRM) components, and thermal protection systems. Manufactured in the U.S., P-3300C combines a specialized phenolic resin system with heat-treated carbon reinforcement to deliver the thermal, ablative, and structural performance required for demanding aerospace and defense applications.
With the ablative phenolic supply chain facing significant capacity constraints and prolonged lead times, Aerofin P-3300C provides a reliable alternative source for critical programs. MAKO’s carbon phenolic system is available with both new and legacy-sourced heat-treated carbon reinforcements, helping provide greater flexibility and supply continuity for manufacturers.
Aerofin P-3300C is an equivalent alternative to Park F-555 and Cytec/Syensqo MX-4926N. Available in both traditional continuous-fabric broadgoods prepreg and chopped molding compound, P-3300C gives manufacturers the flexibility to select the material format best suited to their part geometry and manufacturing process.
