GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant lowers the total cost of
ownership due to lower maintenance costs and weight reduction
of the aircraft.
Lower maintenance costs are achieved via:
Corrosion reduction: Case studies have shown a reduction of
corrosion repair by up to 70% in wet area floorboards.
Easier, faster installation times: The sealant is reusable,
requires no sealant cure time, and peel-and-stick options
available
Easier clean-up
No hazardous material issues
Weight savings are achieved via:
Up to 65.26% weight savings using GORE™ SKYFLEX®
Aircraft Sealant compare to conventional polysulfide sealant
Up to 68.34% weight savings using GORE™ SKYFLEX® Fuel
Sealant compare to conventional fuel resistant polysulfide
sealant
Time Savings
Using traditional sealant a typical panel installation takes up to
120 minutes* for each removal cycle. Using GORE™ SKYFLEX®
Aircraft Sealant a typical panel installation takes up to 65 minutes
for first installation cycle only.
GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant is a replacement for
polysulfides, pre-cured polyurethanes, fluorosilicone, and nitrile
rubber.
