Why Choose PPG ARE 3D Printed Sealants
Traditional aerospace gaskets and sealants require extensive manual labor and rework. PPG’s 3D printed polysulfide and polythioether gaskets were created with aerospace engineers and technicians in mind and some have a national stock number (NSN). These preformed sealants eliminate the need to smooth sealant by hand, can be printed and shipped on demand once designed and are proven to save time and reduce costs
PPG’s PRC® and PRO-SEAL™ brand sealants have laid the foundation for aerospace manufacturing, maintenance and repair for the aerospace industry. PPG’s sealants are taking that excellence to the next level through creation of this innovative process that pre-forms sealants. This revolutionary application method improves your sealant application.
- Accelerated Installation Times: Traditional sealant application methods can be time-consuming and labor intensive. With PPG ARE 3D printed sealants, installation times can be reduced by up to 90%. Our automated production process allows for parts to be applied up to 10 times faster than conventional methods, enabling you to meet tight project deadlines without compromising quality.
