SAE AMS3269

Description / Abstract: Form

This specification covers three classes of fuel-resistant polysulfide (T) sealing compound with high strength and temperature characteristics, supplied as a two-component system which cures at room temperatures.

Application

This sealing compound has been used typically in sealing aircraft integral fuel tanks, fuel tank fillets and faying surfaces, pressure barriers and moldline surfaces, but usage is not limited to such applications. The sealing compound is resistant to jet fuels and is capable of withstanding long-term exposure -65 to 250 °F (-54 to + 121 °C), with short-term exposure (approximately 6 hours) to 360 °F (182 °C).

Notation

AMS3100 adhesion promoter should be applied prior to sealant.
