RATIONALE

Removed Air Content, Radiographic Density, and minimum Flow requirements. Added heat conditioning prior to testing Low
Temperature Flexibility panels that was a requirement in MIL-S-8802. Aligned specification to current requirements in
AS5502 and AS5127/1. Changed accelerated cure requirements. Added an optional adhesion promoter requirement. Added
an alternative composite material (IM7/977-3). Added additional clarifications to current requirements and made editorial
corrections.

1. SCOPE

1.1 Form

This specification covers fuel-resistant, two-component polysulfide synthetic rubber compounds which cure at room
temperature.

1.2 Application

This sealing compound has been used typically for sealing and repairing integral fuel tanks, cabin pressure sealing, and
aerodynamic smoothing, but usage is not limited to such applications. It may be used for faying surface sealing, for wet-
installation of fasteners, for overcoating fasteners, and for sealing joints and seams. The sealing compound can be used in
fuel areas as well as in non-fuel areas. It may, in some cases, be used as a non-structural adhesive. The sealant is capable
of continuous service use from -65 to +250 °F (-54 to 121 °C). AMS3100 adhesion promoter may be applied prior to
application of the sealant.

1.3 Classification

1.3.1 Types

Sealing compounds covered by this specification are classified as follows:

Type 1 - Dichromate Cured Sealant. Material with a dichromate curing agent.

Type 2 - Manganese Dioxide Cured Sealant. Material with a manganese dioxide curing agent.

48 hours, minimum at Standard Conditions followed by 24 hours, minimum at 140 °F (60 °C). For Class C-8(48), the sealing
compound may be given an accelerated cure for 48 hours, minimum at Standard Conditions followed by 48 hours, minimum
at 140 °F (60 °C). For Class C-24(80), the sealing compound may be given an accelerated cure for 48 hours, minimum at
Standard Conditions followed by 120 hours, minimum at 140 °F (60 °C).

4.6 Test Procedures

4.6.1 Low Temperature Flexibility

Low temperature flexibility shall be conducted in accordance with AS5127/1 (7.6). At the end of the standard cure in
accordance with 4.5.3.5, two of the four panels shall be conditioned at 250 °F (121 °C) for an additional seven days. After
the conditioning, all four panels shall be immediately placed in a low temperature flexibility fixture and tested in accordance
with AS5127/1 (7.6).

4.6.2 Peel Strength

The type and quantity of panels listed in Table 5 shall be used for the evaluation of peel strength. Test panel configuration
shall be in accordance with 4.5.3, AS5127/1 (8.1) “Peel Strength Testing” and AS5127/1 Figure 22 “Five-Inch Peel
Specimen Configuration”.

8. NOTES

8.1 Revision Indicator

A change bar (l) located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical revisions, not
editorial changes, have been made to the previous issue of this document. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title
indicates a complete revision of the document, including technical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in original
publications, nor in documents that contain editorial changes only.

8.2 Properties are divided into two classes: performance and application requirements. Performance requirements define
those properties of the cured sealant and its performance in service. Application requirements define those properties
of the uncured sealant and affect the application parameters of the sealant. Testing of both performance and
application properties are required during preproduction and prior to qualification. A subset of the performance and
application properties testing is required for acceptance testing. Minor variations in application requirements during
acceptance testing may not be cause for rejection if approved by the procuring agency.

8.3 Sealing compounds meeting the requirements of this specification have been classified under Federal Supply
Classification (FSC) 8030.

8.4 For information purposes, DeSoto Coating 823-707 in accordance with AMS-C-27725 Type 2 is recommended for
use on peel strength test panels requiring the AMS-C-27725 coating.
