W. L. Gore & Associates, Newark,   has expanded its line of  Gore Skyflex  Aerospace Materials with the addition of low-tack adhesives  that help in  readjustment of sealants in  complex structures during installation.

Shortly after installation, the adhesive strengthens so the sealants withstand mechanical stress and maintain their   performance, according to a Gore release.

Unlike traditional sealants that can become brittle and crack when exposed to liquids, Gore’s new low-tack sealants provide a barrier against fluids, protecting against corrosion caused by exposure to moisture and liquids such as water, solvents, and de-icing fluids.

According to Andreas Eckert, global product manager,  the new low-tack adhesive used in these sealants was engineered specifically for structures requiring thin sealants and those with complex shapes.

“With decades of successful offerings in the civil and military aerospace industries, we understand the importance of reliability and aircraft availability. This new adhesive has an initial low-tack when first applied, so it is easier to adjust and reapply the sealants when working with complex surfaces,” said Eckert. “After only a few hours, the adhesive strengthens to provide the same level of durable, long-lasting protection as our other adhesives.
