sealant Flashcards
purpose of sealant
prevent movement of liquid or gas from one point to another
sealant are used to
maintain cabin pressure
prevent fuel leakage
prevent corrosion
what are pliable sealants
one part sealants which is cured by reacting with moisture in the air
what are drying sealant
set and cured by evaporation of the solvent
amount of solvent added in drying sealants affects
application consistency
hardness
shrinkages
what are curing sealants
2 part sealants
sealant classes physical factors
class A: low viscosity class B: higher viscosity and lower lump class C: medium viscosity for good spread ability
sealant classes application method
class A: by brush class B: by extrusion gun or spatula class C: suitable for fraying surface sealing
increment of spread for fillet sealing
3 foot (1m)
which method is used for fraying sealing
rolling/spraying
what sealant transform from fluid to semifluid state
curing sealants
catalyst or hardener are added to 2 part sealants for
curing the base compound by chemical reaction
definition of application life for sealant
length of time a mixed sealant remains usable for application
excess sealant can be removed by wooden spatula after
curing time of sealant
tools for removal of sealant
plastic scrapper or non-metallic spatula
