Aircraft Kits

Av-DEC Kits combine several innovative sealing solutions into an overall system designed to completely prevent corrosion of aircraft structures. Customized combinations can also be applied for specific applications.

The prevention of corrosion is critical to keeping aircraft airworthy for long periods of time. Although specific corrosion challenges vary from one aircraft to another, Av-DEC has an answer for almost every situation. These answers most often come in the form of stand-alone corrosion-inhibiting solutions but for complex problems, an Av-DEC kit may needed. Av-DEC kits vary in terms of their content but they offer specific solutions to the many specific problems faced by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and maintenance and repair organizations.

Av-DEC kits contain sealing solutions such as pre-cured polyurethane conductive or non-conductive gaskets, polyurethane rolled sealants, injectable sealants, and/or HI-TAK SpraySeal. The right combination is determined by the specific structure in need of protection. With the proper combination, the following benefits apply:

• Easy application and quick gel times ensure real-time repairs can be made and aircraft do not stay grounded for long.
• The non-hazardous corrosion-prevention products leave no residue when applied or removed, whether used individually or as a kit.
• The durable seals formed have the ability to protect aircraft structures from corrosion for extended periods of time, ultimately resulting in reduced maintenance and repair costs.

Engineered for Military, Commercial, and Private Aircraft

Av-DEC Kits consist of corrosion prevention solutions that can be applied in a wide range of aircraft to protect structures and surfaces from corrosion. The first Av-DEC kits were assembled for military applications, but today these excellent corrosion-prevention solutions are applied in thousands of commercial and private aircraft as well. The benefits of their use include:

• Easy application on irregular surfaces, vertical surfaces, and complex structures.
• Quick application on aircraft surfaces susceptible to excessive abrasion, corrosion, and other damage.

Custom Av-DEC Kits for Diverse Applications

OEMs and service bureaus can choose from over fifty Av-DEC kits to match their corrosion-prevention requirements. Every Av-DEC kit consists of polyurethane sealing solutions for diverse applications but customizable options are also available. Av-DEC engineers can assess specific corrosion-prevention requirements and recommend custom kits with die-cut gaskets and sealants to meet specific needs. The advantages of choosing a custom Av-DEC kit include:

• Die-cut solutions custom-built to meet specific corrosion-prevention requirements and applications.
• Simple pre-cured sealing solutions that require no external adhesives or solutions when applied.
• Excellent adhesion properties which function both to ease the application process and form complete protective barriers against water and moisture.
