Ardrox AV 40
Corrosion Inhibiting Compound
Heat resistant, colourless, 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 40 is designed for use in areas of the aircraft exposed to elevated
temperatures. Typical applications include engine components, pylons
and cowlings.
- AV 40 will withstand continuous temperatures up to 150°C (302°F) and
short term exposure to temperatures up to 210°C (410°F).
- AV 40 is colourless and can be applied to aircraft exterior surfaces
exposed to high temperatures, for example adjacent to auxiliary power
unit (APU) exhaust systems where hot gases are expelled.
AV 40 is not affected by contact with alkaline cleaning chemicals or
high pressure hot water cleaning. It can be removed using hydrocarbon
solvents.
Application:
- AV 40 should be applied by spraying 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.
