Some sealing jobs call for a thin coating that stays pliable. For those applications, understanding how a brushable sealant behaves is more useful than choosing by the product name alone.
Versachem Prime Seal Type 3 Aviation is a slow-drying liquid that forms a tacky, pliable film. It is designed for suitable gasket applications, machined surfaces and close-fitting assemblies.
Where is Type 3 Aviation used?
The manufacturer lists hard and soft gaskets, threaded connections, cover plates, flanges, metal-to-metal assemblies and hose connections among its applications. The non-hardening formulation permits easier disassembly and does not corrode metal parts.
What should you check before choosing it?
Begin with the assembly instructions. Confirm surface materials, fluids, temperature and other service conditions against the current technical data. Where a maintenance instruction specifies a particular material, verify that requirement before making a substitution.
How is it applied?
The manufacturer directs users to clean and dry the surfaces, brush a thin, even coat onto both surfaces and allow a few minutes of air drying before assembly. Follow the current label and equipment instructions for the complete procedure.
Does Aviation Sealant set hard?
Type 3 Aviation forms a non-hardening, pliable film.
Is it the same as an RTV silicone gasket maker?
The products have different roles. Type 3 Aviation provides a sealing film; RTV cures into silicone rubber for assemblies that permit a formed-in-place gasket.
Is it approved for every aircraft repair?
The name alone does not establish approval. Verify the applicable aircraft maintenance instructions and material approvals.
