Make sure your aircraft's windshield is sealed properly for safety and comfort by ordering a pint-size kit of PPG Aerospace® PR-1425 Windshield and Canopy Sealant from SkyGeek. The windshield gasket sealant has a service temperature range from -65°F to (-52°C) to 250°F (121°C), with intermittent excursions up to 275°F (135°C) and cures at room temperature. Designed for fillet sealing of properly prepared glass, polycarbonate, acrylic and other substrates, the windshield sealant will not cause crazing and exhibits excellent resistance to UV and weather exposure.
PPG Aerospace® PR-1425 Black Windshield Sealant and Canopy Sealant is used to seal a windshield and is sold in a pint-size kit and includes two pre-measured components that are designed to be mixed just before use. The dichromate-cured polysulfide compound exhibits low sag and is thixotropic, so it's easy to apply to any surface. Use PPG Aerospace® PR-1425 Windshield and Canopy Sealant with an extrusion gun or spatula for more control over the application. Once cured, the black windshield sealer will not fade or discolor over time.

Note: The application and performance property values above are typical for the material, but not intended for use in specifications or for acceptance inspection criteria because of variations in testing methods, conditions and configurations.
Surface preparationImmediately 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 the appropriate solvents and new lint free cloth (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.
For a more thorough discussion of proper surface preparation, please consult the SAE Aerospace Information Report AIR 4069. This document is available through SAE, 400 Commonwealth Avenue, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.
Mixing instructions
PR-1425 Class B is supplied in a two-part kit. Mix according to the ratios indicated in the application properties section. Mix Part A and Part B separately to uniformity, then thoroughly mix entire contents of both parts of the kit to-gether taking care to avoid leaving unmixed areas around the sides or bottom of the mixing container.
Storage life
The storage life of PR-1425 Class B is at least 9 months when stored at temperatures between 40°F (5°C) and 80°F (27°C) in original unopened containers.
