Aerospace Surface Prep
Surface preparation is where airworthiness starts. KTEC supplies the tools, abrasives, and consumables aerospace manufacturing and MRO teams rely on — backed by managed inventory programs built to keep production lines moving.
A Partner, Not a Vendor
Aerospace programs run on fewer, deeper supplier relationships. We align to your production schedule, cross-reference your part numbers, and support multiple sites from one program.
Supply Continuity
Stockouts become line-downs. Min/reorder levels built from your usage, shelf life, and lead times — with red-flag alerts before a shortage ever reaches the floor.
Certified for Aerospace
KTEC is an AS9120B and ISO 9001:2015 certified distributor. View our quality certifications.
A Complete Dust-Free Sanding System
Not a parts list — a program. Random orbital sanders, mesh abrasives, backup pads, vacuum hoses, and HEPA dust extraction, specified together so every tool on your floor has the right consumable behind it.
- Electric and pneumatic random orbital sanders — 3" to 6" pads, 2.5 to 8 mm orbits, from fine prepolish to general stock removal
- ABRANET® mesh abrasives, P80–P1000 — dust is pulled through the disc before it can mar the surface, so finishes stay clean and discs don't clog
- Matched by size — every sander lists the backup pads, discs, and hose that fit it, so your team orders right the first time
- HEPA extraction closes the loop — cleaner air, cleaner surfaces, less rework, a healthier shop
- Stocked your way — boxes of 50 or 10-packs, with VMI min/max programs keeping the bins full
Mask It Once — Grit Blast, Plasma, and Flame Spray
DW407 aluminum foil and glass-fabric laminate tape with high-temperature silicone adhesive. Reflective and conductive, it masks the borders of hard-masked areas, adheres firmly through the spray booth, and removes cleanly with no adhesive residue.
- Qualified where it counts — GE C10-12, P&W PMC 4235, Rolls-Royce OMAT 2/205, Lockheed Martin J505
- Four widths on the shelf — 1/2", 1", 2", and 3" × 36-yd rolls
- Doubles as heat shielding — harness wraps and heat blocking around the spray cell
From Chemicals to Consumables — Managed Inventory That Keeps Aerospace Running
Expired chemicals, overbuying, and surprise stockouts cost far more than the material itself. KTEC VMI puts the stock on your floor and the responsibility on us.
- Min/reorder levels calculated from your usage, shelf life, lead times, and safety stock
- Red-flag alerts before a shortage becomes a line-down
- Shelf-life tracking on hand and on the floor, with expired-material reporting
- Certs that comply across multiple sites, with product cross-reference
