Access Door Sealants
On aircraft and other transporters, access door sealing adhesives ensure protection for passengers and equipment. Silmid stocks a range of access door sealants from leading brands including PPG and Naftoseal. These low-adhesion sealants can also be suitable for the fabrication of form-in-place (FIP) gaskets or to protect metal and electrical components. We offer several compounds with small batch quantities and bulk pricing to satisfy all customers.
What Are Access Door Sealants?
Aviation access door sealants are essential to maintain pressurised environments like those found in airplanes, spaceships, and submersibles. They are even useful in high-performance cars and public buses operated at high altitudes. Access door sealing compounds are airtight and watertight yet allow the door to be easily opened. Premium compounds also form a barrier to prevent leaks, moisture ingress, and dirt contamination.
These two-part sealants use polysulphide polymer and manganese dioxide so you can form a custom seal with fast curing. Certain seals are formulated for added corrosion prevention, which is excellent for fuel tank doors. Select a product to learn more about its temperature range, application method, cure time, and other important information. We provide real-time stock levels so you can see what’s available and place orders for ongoing projects or aircraft-on-ground repairs.
Access Door Sealing for Aerospace and Industrial
At Silmid, we offer Class A and Class B access door sealants to serve different needs. Class A access door sealants are low-viscosity, brush-able liquids that are ideal for thin sealants and protecting fasteners. Class B sealants are a thicker, paste-like material applied using a sealant extruder or spatula. They can form thick seals for large gaps and heavy-duty needs.
