Content Highlight: Introduction to Aircraft Sealant

Aircraft sealants have different properties depending on the area of application they are designed for.

We maintain a diverse inventory for different purposes, including fuel tank sealants, fuselage sealants, access door sealants, window and canopy sealants and firewall sealants at Silmid.

Each sealant is also different in the way it cures. Information about curing for specific sealants may be found on the corresponding SDS/TDS.

Recent regulatory changes in the European Union has seen the phasing out of dichromate cured applications, with most manufacturers now opting to pursue manganese dioxide cured solutions that are REACH approved and safer for the user.

More often than not, sealant selection is driven by OEM specification. Major manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus and Embraer have an approved list of sealants for each application based on rigorous testing.
