PR-Type Sealants

General Overview

Functions of Sealants

Sealing

Fuel sealing

Air sealing

Fuel tanks (fuel leaks)

Fuselage bays (pressurization)

Functions of Sealants

Electrical insulation (lightning strike)

Galvanic sealing

Differences in electrical potential between materials generate corrosion when they are in contact.

Functions of Sealants

Protecting against corrosion

Ensuring fatigue resistance

Through the anti-fretting (no friction between bonded parts)

Corrosion example

Functions of Sealants

Draining at the lowest point of tanks Preventing water retention by filling cavities

Functions of Sealants

Improving aerodynamics Filling panel joints on fuselage – wing
