Thixoflex Black: All-Purpose Injectable Sealant

Thixoflex Black is a fast curing, UV-resistant waterproofing and environmental sealant for aviation production installation, repairs and maintenance.

Av-DEC Thixoflex Black is an all-purpose workhorse designed to handle sealing, abrasion, and cracking issues. This two-component sealing solution can be used for repair and regular maintenance tasks across a variety of industries. There are many ways to choose to use Thixoflex Black, such as sealing aircraft surfaces against corrosion or in caulking structures in automotive repair shops. This two-component corrosion inhibitor solution is made from polyurea and integrates all its properties. Av-DEC Thixoflex Black is an injectable sealent developed according to the sealing standards for the specific industry.

Thixoflex Black is based on Av-DEC two-component formula and is approved for use by airlines. Take advantage of this sealant in the following ways:

  • As a protective environmental seal against moisture which causes corrosion.
  • As a non-hazardous injectable sealant which does not produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that harm the environment.
  • As an exceptionally quick sealing solution for eliminating downtime.

Exceptionally Quick Cure Rate for Instant Sealing

Av-DEC Thixoflex Black is an exceptional lining, joint, and surface sealant system. It cures at varying temperatures and its setting time is faster than most other injectable sealants. Thixoflex Black can be used as a real-time waterproofing solution to mitigate the corrosive effects of moisture. Some of the benefits of using this injectable sealant include:

  • No hazardous materials paperwork required due to its eco-friendly nature.
  • Delivers exceptionally quick sealing action in temperatures as low as -85°F to 185°F (-65°C to 85°C) which makes it highly tolerant to weather fluctuations.
  • It creates a complete seal which keeps out electrolytes that cause corrosion.
  • It delivers an excellent bonding strength when applied on metal or painted surfaces which makes it a versatile industrial sealant.

Powered By a Two-Component Polyurea-Based Formula

The durability, flexibility, and quick cure durations of polyurea are reasons why Thixoflex Black is a versatile solution. Av-DEC two-component polyurea formula delivers enhanced adhesion with surfaces and accelerated bonding rates. Thixoflex Black can be applied on vertical surfaces to produce a solid seal. The seal is highly resistant to abrasion. Take advantage of the benefits of Av-DEC polyurea-based two-component formula in the following ways:

  • To fill voids and cracks, which protect structures with intricate design and voids from corrosion.
  • As a quick sealant for protecting vertical components and overhead structures from corrosion.
  • As an injectable sealant that complements the sealing efforts of gasket systems by completely sealing off antenna bases and exposed areas.
  • As an environmental seal on external surfaces exposed to UV light, since the sealant is UV resistant.

A Versatile Injectable Sealant for Industrial Applications

In terms of usability, Av-DEC Thixoflex Black is a go-to sealing and waterproofing solution to have in any maintenance kit. This is because it can be applied across diverse industrial niches with ease. The versatility of this two-component injectable sealant formula does not affect its performance in any way. The sealant can be applied in repairs and maintenance activities in the following industries:

  • Aviation Repairs - As a waterproofing and environmental sealant.
  • Automotive Repairs - To seal joints, lights, windshields, and reduce wear.
  • Manufacturing Equipment Repair - To close perimeter gaps, edges, and joints.
  • Industrial Engineering Design - To dam up or obstruct flow.

Thixoflex Black comes in the standard 50cc cartridge or the larger 200cc cartridge if required. The injectable sealant has been tested extensively and delivers exceptional results. For a get a free 50cc sample of the Av-DEC Thixoflex Black contact us today.
