Case Histories : Aircraft Sealant

 

1: GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant Case Study: A320 Aircraft Family - Wing Panels
Since MSN117, GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant has been used in serial production of A320 aircraft wings. Introduced by Airbus modification number 21570J0539 in production, SKYFLEX Aircraft Sealants can be retrofitted per Service Bulletin number A320-57-1052 on aircraft MSN 116 and earlier.
2: GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant Case Study: Boeing 767
GORE™ SKYFLEX® sealants were installed in the entire floorboard area of the Boeing 767. In the 'wet' areas, part number GSC-21-80767-00 was used. In the dry areas, which are much less prone to corrosion, part number GUA 1401-1 was used.
3: GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant Case Study: E-6 Tacamo and E-3 AWACS
Technical order E-6 IPT allows the use of GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant to seal approximately 91 panels on these aircraft. These panels include upper and lower wing access panels, fuselage exterior panels and doors, horizontal stabilizer and elevator access panels, vertical fin and rudder access panels, wing pod access panels, and landing lights.
4: GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant Case Study: F-15 Eagle
The U.S. Air Force has approved the use of GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant on the F-15 Eagle fighter.
5: GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant Case Study: SAAB 340
GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant was installed on the American Eagle SAAB 340 aircraft to test its ability to combat water ingress and corrosion. Panels in the entryway were chosen for testing because moisture tends to build up there.
