Aerospace Composite Applications
Maintain the integrity of your operations with Midvale Industries proven aerospace composite cleaning and preparation processes, designed to be safe and effective on composite substrates.
Address Common Composite Challenges With Midvale Industries
In the aerospace industry, keeping composite tooling clean is crucial. Improper cleaning can lead to performance issues and costly repairs, which reduces productivity and increases downtime. At Midvale, we understand these challenges and offer specialized processes to ensure your composite parts are thoroughly maintained.
We also alleviate one of the most common problems faced by aircraft: the presence of resin residue after the creation of composite materials. This leftover resin can compromise the integrity of the components. Our comprehensive cleaning process removes resin and other contaminants, so your parts meet the highest standards of cleanliness and functionality.
Composite Tool Cleaning
Midvale is proud to offer composite tool cleaning solutions. We use ADM® starch media products to clean your tools and keep them in optimal condition. This method has several key benefits, including cost efficiency, faster cleaning times, reduced downtime, and high-volume capabilities.
Composite Surface Preparation
Along with tool cleaning, Midvale excels in composite bond and surface preparation. Our wet blasting process uses an abrasive slurry to create a clean, even etched finish with no media embedded into the surface. This method is perfect for composite bonding prep, providing high-quality and consistent anchor patterns. Suitable for different composites with a variety of weaves, resins, hardness, and matching surfaces, our services are precise and recognized by renowned organizations such as Bell Helicopter, The Boeing Company, and The National Institute for Aviation Research.

Aerospace Composite Service FAQs
How fast can Midvale clean my composite tools?
Our process cleans most tooling at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 square feet per minute. Composite tooling surface treatments performed with traditional methods like hand sanding take up to a day to fully clean, but our starch process can take up to one minute for roughly the same surface area.
How does your team get the bonding process so accurate?
We achieve high-quality composite surface preparation and consistent anchor patterns using an abrasive slurry process through a high-pressure blast cabinet system.
