Overview

P/S 870 PS870C12PT is a two‑part, manganese dioxide‑cured polysulfide corrosion‑inhibitive sealant engineered for use on aluminum alloys and dissimilar metals. Designed for faying surface and coating applications, this Class C‑12 version offers a 12‑hour application life, ideal for large‑area sealing and assembly operations.
The cured sealant forms a resilient elastomeric barrier that maintains flexibility after limited exposure to jet fuel and aviation gasoline. It withstands temperatures from -65°F to 250°F with intermittent excursions to 275°F. Packaged as a 1 pint kit, it provides high‑volume coverage suitable for aircraft structural corrosion protection.

Features & Benefits

  • Class C‑12 formula with 12‑hour working life
  • Provides a corrosion‑inhibitive barrier for aluminum and dissimilar metals
  • Designed for faying surface and roller-applied sealing
  • Maintains elastomeric properties after aviation fuel exposure
  • Strong adhesion to aircraft substrates when properly primed
  • Room-temperature curing with long-term environmental durability
