What is sealant in aircraft?

Aircraft sealant is a specialized material used to seal joints, seams, rivets, and access panels on an aircraft. It helps prevent leaks of fuel, oil, and water, protects against corrosion, and supports the overall structural integrity of the airframe and fuel tanks.

How long does it take for aircraft sealant to cure?

Most aircraft sealants reach full cure within about 72 hours under standard shop conditions. Actual cure time can vary based on the sealant class, application thickness, temperature, and humidity, so it is important to follow the product technical data sheet for specific recommendations.

What is the difference between Class A and Class B sealant?

The main difference between Class A and Class B sealant is viscosity and how they behave during application. Class A sealants are low viscosity and self leveling, suitable for brush, pour, or injection applications. Class B sealants have a thicker, paste like consistency that resists sagging, which makes them ideal for fillet seals and areas where the sealant must hold its shape.
