DTD189A 22 SWG stainless steel locking wire is a soft, annealed aviation-grade safety wire used industry-wide to safety-wire fasteners that must not back off in service. Supplied as a 0.5-kg reel, the wire’s 22 SWG (≈0.711 mm / 0.028 in) diameter balances flexibility for twisting with sufficient tensile retention for common aircraft fasteners. The DTD189A designation denotes the UK/MoD aerospace specification form of locking wire widely accepted across OEMs and MROs; it is corrosion-resistant (stainless steel) and intended for mechanical locking, not as a structural fastener. Aircraft engineers commonly reference SWG size, DTD189A, and the term “locking wire 22 SWG” when sourcing.

3M™ Lane and Safety Marking Tape 471is commonly used for marking hazards and aisles, colour-coding, paint masking, decorative trim, splicing, and more. Made from vinyl backing with rubber adhesive, our versatile tape resists scrapes, wear, and weathering for long lasting use. 3M™ Lane and Safety Marking Tape 471 sticks on contact to a wide variety of surfaces for fast application with no dripping, drying, or cleanup necessary, and removes cleanly, leaving no sticky residue. This vinyl tape is highly conformable, making it easy to apply to curved areas as well as rough or uneven surfaces. Available in many distinctive colours, the tape can be used in temperatures ranging from 4.44 °C – 76.66 °C. Vinyl tapes are used to clearly mark lanes, corridors and hazardous or no-go areas in factories, warehouses, and hospitals. Using vinyl tape for lane marking instead of painting eliminates the need to ventilate paint solvents, and since vinyl tapes can be removed quickly and cleanly, they are also a faster, more versatile, and less costly option than painting. These rugged tapes are also used in automotive maintenance and repair, construction, marine, commercial vehicle, and other industries.

Introducing Skydrol 500B-4 (1-Usqt-Can), the most worker-friendly aviation phosphate ester. This advanced hydraulic fluid minimizes skin irritation and respiratory discomfort by reducing mist formation. Featuring anti-erosion additives and acid scavengers, Skydrol 500B-4 ensures reliable performance in aviation hydraulic systems, workshops, and indoor test stands.

3M 950 is trusted across the aviation industry by MRO teams, ground crew and aircraft engineers working on everything from advanced military jets to commercial airliners, because it delivers reliable, high-strength bonding every time. It’s clear, 5.0 mil (127µm) acrylic adhesive adheres to metals, plastics, foams and fabrics, making it indispensable for laminating, splicing, mounting and AOG repairs. Engineers rely on it for its durability, UV and chemical resistance and compliance with aerospace standards, ensuring every repair or modification meets the highest safety and performance requirements. That’s why millions of pounds of aircraft assets and passenger safety each year depend on the consistent performance of 3M 950.

Airweave N10 is used for higher pressure cures. This breather still offers good elongation and cushions any sharp radius for vacuum bag protection. Non-woven construction provides good conformity.

AeroShell Fluid 12 is used for general aircraft lubrication as well as foraircraft gyro instrument gimbal bearings, separately lubricated high speed turbines and compressors, aircraft air cycle equipment and electronic equipment. AeroShell Fluid 12 is particularly suitable for use when an oilwith a low evaporation rate is required at high and low temperatures.. Possessing good high and low temperature characteristics, this low volatility synthetic ester oil is most often used in aircraft instruments as well as for general aircraft lubrication. AeroShell Fluid 12 is also corrosion and oxidation inhibited and is particularly suited for use when an oil with a low evaporation rate is required at either high or low temperatures. Not to be used with neoprene or natural rubber.
