FP110-2 boot to fit around static divertors.
• FP110-2 is easier to install, as the boot has
alignment marks for correct placement.
• Edge seal using Airbus-approved edge seal material.

3M Aerospace Sealants

Faster cure versus traditional sealants


• Allows for faster repairs & shorter turn around
• Reduces FOD issues & rework

No added solvent in our class B sealants


• Reduced shrinkage due to no or low solvent content
• Shortened “dry time” before sealant can be painted
Ditch & Pot Insert Bonding
Non-Chromated Corrosion Inhibitive Technology
• Corrosion inhibition without using added chromates

Better overall application properties


• “Whipped cream” consistency and reduced stringing means the sealant is easier to apply

Light weight sealant technology


• Light weight technology allowing less weight per aircraft of sealant used

Mixing of Injection Kit
Mixing Keys – Techkits (2-Part Injection Kits)

Accelerator (Inject in 3 Spots – Not all at once!)


Ramrod
Piston
1. Ramrod is used to push against piston to unseat valve
allowing injection of accelerator into base
(DO NOT inject accelerator all in one location; a
minimum of three separate locations are recommended Dasher Blade for Mixing Material Polysulfide Base Plunger
for good mix) Make sure no accelerator remains in Dasher Rod
(Ramrod must be fully bottomed out)
2. After Accelerator is fully injected, the ramrod is One Full In/Out Cycle = One Stroke
removed and the dasher rod with attached blade is used
to mix the material Rotate Clockwise While Mixing

3. Mix for the required number of strokes (by hand) or time Dasher Blade Remains

(by machine); the rod should be rotated clockwise during


mixing. After mixing, rotate counterclockwise to
unscrew from mix blade and pull out of tube Mixed Material
After mixing is complete, lightly squeeze tube at blade
location to immobilize blade and unthread the dasher rod
from blade. Completed Cartridge - Ready for Application

4. Remove dasher rod from tube (mixing blade remains in


tube)

Chemistry

• Reactive mixture of an epoxy-functionalized silane (Part B) with a stabilized


zirconium complex (Part A)

• Water based, no added chromate

• Acetic acid catalyzed

• Oranometallic polymer network forms via hydrolysis and condensation reactions

• Gradient coating with one side designed to bond to metallic substrates and the other
having organic functionalities (epoxide) to bond with a polymer (amine)

• Very reactive, allowing ambient temperature cure

3M Surface Pre-Treatments
AC-131 CB and BB AC-130-2
 Designed to help MRO’s minimize impact on the  Easier on-aircraft repairs
environment  No heat cure
 No scrubbing or rinsing  Dries in place
 Little or no waste water  Not detrimental to surrounding structures
 Applied like a primer (misted on)  Can be used on various metals
 Dries in place  Al, Ti, Ni, Cd, Stainless Steel
 Less masking
 Improved paint adhesion
 Better paint quality, reduced rivet rash
 Less rework means fewer warranty claims

3M Surface Pre-Treatment AC-131 offers significant water reduction during use and a total cost reduction
compared to conventional processes. It is both water-based and has no added chromates, making 3M AC-130-2
and AC-131 a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional conversion coatings.

Low Density Void Fillers

NEW - 3M Scotch-Weld Void Filling


Compound EC-3515 B/A FR

Two-part flame retardant epoxy that can be stored, applied,


and cured at room temperature. 3M Scotch-Weld EC-3515
B/A FR can be used for void filling, edge sealing, and as an
abradable compound. It is available in either blue or black color
when mixed and fully cured. We are working on qualifications
that will allow EC-3515 B/A FR to replace EC-3524.

Key advantages are:


• Cures to a strong, low-density material within 48 hours at 75°F (24°C).
• Meets the flammability requirements of 14 CFR 25.853 (a).
• The compound has thixotropic properties for ease of application.
• Provides localized stiffness for honeycomb.
• Seals and provides impact resistance to honeycomb panels edges.
