PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-1/2 Fuel Tank Sealant from SkyGeek is ideal for fillet sealing and fuel tank maintenance applications. The sealant is lightweight and easy to use, with a thixotropic, low-sag texture that stays in place until cured. The Type 2, Class B-1/2 Spec fuel tank sealant from SkyGeek is ideal for filling gaps and cracks as well as securing fasteners, thereby preventing fuel leaks. The sealant is gray and will blend in with the surrounding substrate once cured. PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-1/2 Fuel Tank Sealant is sold in a 2.5-ounce 655-SemKit for easy application.
PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-1/2 Fuel Tank Sealant from SkyGeek arrives ready to use. The SemKit packaging keeps the two components of the sealant separate until just before use. Once mixed, the sealant is ready to apply and will begin curing at room temperature. Once cured, PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-1/2 Fuel Tank Sealant has a wide service temperature range of -65ºC (-54ºC) to 250ºF (121ºC) and can also withstand brief exposure to temperatures up to 275ºF (135ºC). Use PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-1/2 Fuel Tank Sealant inside and out of your fuel tank for the best results.

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.
