RECOMMENDED READING LIST

magnesium chromate as a corrosion inhibitor. The classification of this sealant compound is of the following types: Type I — For brush or dip application Type II— For extrusion application, gun or spatula Type III — For spray gun application Dash numbers after the type code are used to designate the maximum application time in hours. Type I dash numbers are –1/2 and –2. Type II dash numbers are –1/2, –2, and –4. The Type III dash number is –1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Many of the sealants previously discussed maybe flammable or may produce toxic vapors. When you are using any material designated as flammable, all sources of ignition must be at least 50 feet away from the location of the work. Toxic vapors are produced by the evaporation of solvents or the chemical reaction taking place in the curing sealants. When you are using sealants in confined spaces, such as fuel cells, fuselage, or wing sections, adequate local exhaust ventilation must be used to reduce the vapors below the maximum allowable concentration. The vapors must be kept at that level until repairs have been completed. Do not eat or smoke when you are working with sealants.
