Flexible Two-Part Thixotropic Polyurethane Environmental Seal
The flexible two-part thixotropic polyurethane environmental seal that delivers enhanced protection,
waterproofing and an exceptional finish with every application.
Av-DEC Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray ensure durability, enhanced adhesion, and increased resistance to
abrasion when applied as an environmental seal. Take advantage of the enhanced protection of Av-DEC
two-component sealing formula to protect aircraft surfaces and avionics from corrosion. Thixoflex Orange and
Thixoflex Gray are thixotropic flexible sealants. They provide a semi-solid seal over the area of
application and do not lose shape under less than ideal situations. They are highly resistant to thermal
fluctuations and moisture which makes them great choices for protecting assembly edges, fasteners, and
susceptible surfaces.
Choose Av-DEC Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray as general-purpose sealants due to their exceptional
features and benefits. These include:
A high resistance to wear and tear, which protects surfaces and edges that experience constant traffic
or use.
High resistance to shrinkage, which ensures the semi-solid environmental sealants provide optimal
protection against corrosion.
Quick cure rate which ensures they can be applied on vertical surfaces without losing surface bonding
capacity during application.
Easy installation process and a simple removal procedure which eliminates residues and speeds up repair
tasks.
A highly durable barrier against moisture, which provides great environmental sealing across diverse
industries.
Either sealant adheres to itself at varying temperatures, which makes it the perfect choice for handling
multiple repairs within a specific area.
Av-DEC Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray are non-hazardous injectable sealants. The sealants are delivered
in either a 50cc or 200cc cartridge -depending on choice- with two mixing straws, and a reusable dispenser is
also available.
A Thixotropic Sealing Formula for Unconventional Applications
Av-DEC selection of two-part corrosion-inhibiting injectable sealants offers more options than other
competing injectable sealants. The Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray formulas are thixotropic sealants
that can fill cracks, cavities, and joints to waterproof an assembly and prevent corrosion. When applied,
the sealant forms a semi-solid state which makes it applicable on vertical and overhead surfaces, unlike
other sealing options. The benefits gained from using Av-DEC thixotropic sealing formulas include:
Delivering higher bonding and thickness levels making it waterproof, which eliminates moisture
ingress.
Ideal for use on vertical surfaces and hard-to-reach places such as internal joints or structures
thereby inhibiting corrosion in these surfaces.
Can be applied on multiple surface materials including metal, painted surfaces, and wood* which makes it
a general-purpose environmental seal.
It can be used as a protective seal on unconventional places such as tilt-up walls, angled structures,
windows, and pre-cast panels.
Wet Installing Fasteners
A majority of the fasteners applied in aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, and installations are installed
wet. To successfully accomplish the installation of fasteners using sealants, the right sealant and some
experience are needed. Provides complete sealing and protection when installing rivets
or bolts. The advantages of the installation process include:
Protecting critical areas from the effects of corrosion.
Protects the aircraft from moisture that can penetrate joints and other assemblies.
Speeds up the installation process of fasteners and other components in the aircraft.
Two-Part Polyurethane Environmental Seal that Delivers an Exceptional Finish
Av-DEC Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray each function as a two-component polyurethane sealant. This means
these injectable sealants integrate the flexibility, semi-hardness, and abrasion-resistant nature of
polyurethane. When applied on surfaces, joints, or voids, the respective sealants form an orange- or
gray-colored semi-solid which offers enhanced protection against corrosion, but it doesn't stop there. The
end product is a glossy orange or gray semi-solid that adds to the aesthetic appeal of the entire surface.
Some of the benefits from using this two-part polyurethane sealant include:
A non-hazardous polyurethane formula which ensures its application does not emit volatile organic
components in closed spaces.
Choice of sealant according to color requirements which adds to the aesthetic appeal of the sealed
surface.
Its color option and odorless nature make it a versatile and non-offensive sealant.
General Purpose Injectable Sealant for Diverse Applications
The quick cure times, durability, and color scheme of Thixoflex Orange and Thixoflex Gray mean they can be
applied in a variety of ways across diverse industrial niches. Although designed for the aviation industry,
they can be used as sealants to assist other sealing or repair systems in industries such as:
Aviation
Automotive
Engineering
Plumbing
Architecture
