PPG Aerospace® P/S 870 C-12 Corrosion Inhibitive Sealant from SkyGeek is designed to protect your aircraft from the common causes of corrosion while simultaneously sealing important components to prevent leaks. The corrosion-resistant MIl-PRF-81733 Type IV sealant has a service temperature range from -65ºF (-54ºC) to 250ºF (121ºC) and can withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures as high as 275ºF (135ºC) without failure. The sealant is well-suited for application on aluminum alloys or between dissimilar metals and once cured, it maintains its elastomeric properties even after exposure to jet fuel and aviation gas.
Use PPG Aerospace® P/S 870 C-12 Corrosion Inhibitive Sealant all over your aircraft for a reliable seal and better protection against moisture and other corrosion-causing compounds. Uncured, the sealant is thin enough to roll on. It then cures at room temperature to form a resilient finish, adhering well topmost common aircraft substrates and delivering a superior level of protection. The two-part aircraft sealant is sold in a pint-size kit and is designed to be mixed just before application.

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
P/S 870 Class C 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 together taking care to avoid leaving unmixed areas around the sides or bottom of the mixing container.
Storage life
The storage life of P/S 870 Class C is at least 6 months when stored at temperatures below 80°F (27°C) in original unopened containers.
