Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers one type of sprayable fuel resistant
polythioether sealing compound supplied as a two-component
system
Application
This sealing compound has been used typically for sealing metal
and composite integral fuel tanks by spray application, but usage
is not limited to such applications. It can be sued for original
fuel tank sealing of seams, joints, fasteners and fay surface edges
or for repair of conventional fillet and fastener seals. As a fuel
containment barrier, it can also be used on the interior or
exterior of auxiliary fuel cell cavities. It can be cured at
ambient temperatures or with mild heat up to 140 ºF (60 ºC)
following an initial 4 to 5 hour ambient cure period after each
coating application. A primer, specified by the sealant
manufacturer, is required with the sealing compound and must be
applied prior to sealing. The sealing compound can be applied in
fuel tank and non-fuel tank areas by the use of a spray gun.
Sealant can be applied by brush for small touch-up areas. The
sealing compound is usable long term for -65 to 250 ºF (-54 to +
121 ºC), with short term exposure (approximately 6 hours) to 350 ºF
(171 ºC)
Classification
The sealing compound shall be usable for spray application and
shall be supplied on the following types:
Type A – White
Type B – Black
Type C – Clear
