PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-2 Fuel Tank Sealant from SkyGeek is a two-part formula that is resistant to most types of alcohol, aviation fuel, oils and water. The durable sealant is used for fillet sealing and other sealing applications inside of the fuel tank. Use PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-2 Fuel Tank Sealant when you need to ensure a leak-free finish that will last. The two-part sealant is sold in a pint-size kit, with pre-measured components for easy mixing.
Once mixed, PPG Aerospace® PR-1440 B-2 Fuel Tank Sealant is a thixotropic paste that can be applied via an extrusion gun or spatula, as desired. The aircraft sealant cures at room temperature and has a wide service temperature range of -65ºF (-54ºC) to 250ºF (121ºC) with the ability to withstand intermittent exposure to higher temperatures. Pint-size kits are sold individually, but volume discounts are available on qualifying bulk orders of sealant. The sealant is gray and the cured material exhibits excellent adhesion to most common aircraft 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.
