P/S 870 Class C Corrosion Inhibitive Sealant

Description
P/S 870 Class C is a corrosion inhibitive sealant. It
has a service temperature range from -65F (-54C) to
250F (121C), with intermittent excursions up to
275F (135C). This material acts as an effective barrier against the common causes of corrosion on aluminum alloys or between dissimilar metals. The
cured sealant maintains elastomeric properties after
limited exposure to both jet fuel and aviation gas.
P/S 870 Class C is a two-part, manganese dioxide
cured polysulfide compound. The uncured material is
designed for roller and faying surface sealing applications. It cures at room temperature to form a resilient
sealant having excellent adhesion to common aircraft
substrates.
The following tests are in accordance with MIL-PRF81733 Type IV and other OEM specifications test
methods.

Surface Preparation
Health Precautions
Immediately 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.
This product is safe to use and apply when recommended precautions are followed. Before using this
product, read and understand the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS), which provides information on
health, physical and environmental hazards, handling
precautions and first aid recommendations. An MSDS
is available on request. Avoid overexposure. Obtain
medical care in case of extreme overexposure.
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 industrial use only. Keep away from children.

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 80F
