Description
PR-2007 Class B is a 1.1 specific gravity, fast curing, high temperature aircraft integral fuel tank sealant. This material is designed for fillet sealing of fuel tanks and other aircraft fuselage sealing applications.
It offers as much as a thirty percent weight savings, per unit volume, over traditional sealants used for similar purposes. The cured sealant maintains excellent elastomeric properties after prolonged exposure to aircraft fuels both jet fuel and aviation gas, and will resist limited contact to diphosphate ester based hydraulic fluids.
PR-2007 Class B is a two-part, manganese dioxide cured liquid polysulfide polymer compound. The uncured material is a low sag, thixotropic paste suitable for application by extrusion gun or spatula. It cures at room temperature to form a resilient sealant having excellent adhesion to common aircraft substrates
Surface Preparation
Immediately before applying sealant to primed substrates, the surfaces should be cleaned with solvents. Contaminants such as dirt, grease, and/or processing lubricants must be removed prior to sealant application.
A progressive cleaning procedure should be employed using appropriate solvents, and a new, lint-free cloth conforming to AMS 3819. (Reclaimed solvents or tissue paper should not be used).
Always pour solvent on the cloth to avoid contaminating the solvent supply. Wash one small area at a time. It is important that the surface is dried with a second clean cloth prior to the solvent evaporating to prevent the redeposition of contaminants on the substrate. Substrate composition can vary greatly.
This can affect sealant adhesion. It is recommended that adhesion characteristics to a specific substrate be determined prior to application on production parts or assemblies.
