Ardrox AV 8
Corrosion Inhibiting Compound
Super penetrating, water displacing, corrosion inhibiting compound
(CIC). Forms a tack-free, firm film.
Uses:
- Applied as a coating to protect metals commonly used in airframe
structures and in aerospace components from corrosion.
- AV 8 can be used in all areas of the airframe on painted and unpainted
surfaces. It combines good penetration properties with excellent
corrosion inhibiting characteristics and a low applied film weight.
- In areas exposed to severe corrosion conditions AV 8 should be
overcoated with AV 100D - a heavy duty, waxy, firm film CIC.
- Movable parts should be masked before treatment unless spray
application can be controlled to prevent direct contact.
If AV 8 spray control or masking of movable components is not
possible, then an alternative, soft waxy film CIC, such as AV 25 should
be used.
Application:
- AV 8 can be applied by dipping, brushing or spraying.
For maximum penetration capability and the most effective corrosion
inhibiting performance, spray application is recommended.
- AV 8 can be sprayed using either the specifically designed ACS -
System (airmix application equipment), or the AAS - System (airless
application equipment).
- Operating instructions and recommendations for using spray equipment
are given in the Technical Manual “Aircraft Corrosion Protection and
Control“ available from the local Chemetall Sales Office.
