Product Attributes
Fuel tank leaks are no fun, but PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 Class B Fuel Tank Sealant from SkyGeek can stop leaks before they start. The gray fuel tank sealant is designed to be used on cracks and gaps as well as over fasteners and fittings to ensure not a drop of fuel is let through. The sealant has excellent chemical resistance and is impervious to aviation gasoline and jet fuel. The two-component formula is sold in a 6-ounce cartridge for convenience and is designed to be mixed just before use for maximum potency.
PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 Class B Fuel Tank Sealant has a service temperature range from -65ºC (-54ºC) to 250ºF (121ºC) and can even withstand intermittent excursions up to 275ºF (135ºC). Use it for fillet sealing of fuel tanks or other fuselage sealing applications. Once cured, the sealant will maintain its elastomeric properties for the flexible protection you need. PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 Class B Fuel Tank Sealant is a low-sag, thixotropic paste and is suitable to apply by extrusion gun or spatula. It cures at room temperature and adheres well to most substrates.

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.
