Goodrich® Age-Sensitive De-Icer Maintenance Products

Overview

Goodrich® Age-Sensitive Products are a range of specialized adhesives, primers, sealers, fillers, coatings, preservatives, and repair materials developed for the installation, maintenance, protection, and repair of pneumatic aircraft de-icing systems and propeller de-icers. These products support bonding, sealing, edge protection, erosion resistance, repair, and performance enhancement of de-icing equipment used throughout the aerospace industry. Because many of these materials are age-sensitive, they are intended to be evaluated on condition prior to use rather than solely by manufacturing date.

The products are specifically formulated for compatibility with aerospace de-icing materials including neoprene, Estane®, silver Estane®, and silver urethane de-icer systems.

Installation & Handling

• Inspect all age-sensitive products prior to use
• Verify product condition regardless of manufacturing date
• Follow product-specific mixing and application instructions
• Use only the quantity required for immediate work when mixing multi-component systems
• Reseal partially used containers immediately after use
• Store materials according to manufacturer recommendations
• Perform adhesion or application testing if product condition is uncertain
• Observe specified pot life limitations where applicable

Environmental & Compliance Notes

• Products are evaluated on condition rather than age alone
• Storage conditions significantly affect service life
• Contamination after opening may reduce product performance
• Visual inspection should be performed before use
• Signs of degradation may include:
  • Gelling
  • Crystallization
  • Separation
  • Cloudiness
  • Precipitation
  • Abnormal color changes
• Users should follow applicable FAA guidance and maintenance procedures
• Final suitability determination remains the responsibility of the user
