ARDROX AV 40 , CORROSION INHIBITING COMPOUND, CAN 1 LT

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.
