ARDROX AV8_20LT

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.                                          The coating should be applied at 20 to 40 µm / 0,8 - 1,6 mils wet thickness. In areas exposed to severe corrosion conditions Ardrox AV8 can be overcoated with Ardrox AV30 or AV100D.
Movable parts should be masked before treatment. If Ardrox AV8 spray control or masking of movable components is not possible, then an alternative soft waxy film CIC, such as Ardrox AV25 should be used.
