Custom Gasket Solutions

Custom Gasket Solutions for Aircraft Maintenance Efficiency and Superior Environmental Sealing

Av-DEC custom gaskets are designed for a wide range of aviation applications. These gasket systems are die-cut with varying designs to effectively protect the structure and hardware from corrosive environmental agents. The custom gasket systems can be used when installing, repairing, maintaining, and sealing vulnerable aircraft assemblies.

All gasket systems are designed to meet applicable FAA airworthiness standards and are suitable for harsh aerospace environments.

Av-DEC gaskets are durable, easy to use, and create an optimal environmental seal when applied. Customers use Av-DEC custom gasket systems to:

• Shield components from moisture and humidity that accelerate corrosion
• Protect components from aviation fluid exposure
• Extend the service life of components operating in extreme environments
• Perform rapid, high-quality repairs on irregular sealing surfaces, reducing cost and eliminating downtime

High-Performance Gasket Systems for Long-Term Application

Av-DEC high-performance gasket systems are strategically designed to serve as corrosion inhibitors and environmental seals. These gaskets provide a durable seal that incorporates flexibility, resistance, and long-term durability.

• Fuel and hydraulic fluid exposure: prevents fluid absorption
• Excessive vibration: reduces fatigue and increases structural lifespan
• Thermal expansion: controls effects of temperature fluctuation
• Inadequate sealing: eliminated through maximum surface bonding

Av-DEC Gaskets for Quick Installation and Easy Removal

Av-DEC custom gasket systems are pre-cured to expedite application. As an OEM, MRO, or repair specialist, the Apply and Fly^™ principle supports rapid and efficient installation.

• Eco-friendly materials: eliminates concerns about hazardous compounds
• No cure time: removes the need for polysulfide sealants and long cure cycles
• Easy removal: leaves no residue that could affect paint adhesion
• Broad compatibility: suitable for metal, rigid plastics, and painted surfaces

Enhanced Resistance to Environmental Factors

Av-DEC custom gaskets protect aircraft structures and components from moisture, humidity, vibration, thermal cycling, hydraulic fluids, and corrosive by-products, extending component service life in extreme operating environments.
