ARDROX-AV8-AEROSOL (400-ml-Aero)

ARDROX-AV8-AEROSOL (Also known as: Ardrox AV8, AV8 aerosol & AV 8 Corrosion Inhibitor) is a super-penetrating, water-displacing corrosion inhibiting compound trusted by MRO teams and aircraft engineers across the aviation industry. Its formula protects critical structures, joints, and cavities, ensuring long-term reliability and safety. Meeting major OEM specifications, it delivers proven results in both routine maintenance and urgent AOG situations.

Key Technical Specs

• Product Type: Corrosion Inhibiting Compound (CIC), water-displacing, super-penetrating protective coating in aerosol form.
• Format / Size: 400 ml aerosol can (~0.4 L).
• Typical Physicals: Relative density ≈ 890 kg/m³ (0.89 g/cm³), non-volatile content ≈ 42%, coverage ≈ 44 m²/L at ~8 µm wet film. Dry film thickness 8–15 µm, dry time < 60 minutes at ambient.
• Load-bearing: Not structural; provides corrosion protection only. Use adhesives/epoxies for load-bearing applications.

Approvals & Specifications

• Industry Standards: BMS 5-28, Type 7, Class 1
• UN Classification: UN3082 + UN2735, Hazard Class CL9 + 8, PG III
• ECCN: EAR99
• Aviation Manufacturer Specs: Meets Airbus and Boeing standards; suitable for commercial and military aircraft MRO.

Typical Aircraft MRO / AOG Applications

• Accepted to MIL-PRF-16173 (Class 1 Grades 1 & 4), DMS 2150 Type 1 (bulk) / Type 2 (aerosol)
• Listed to Airbus AIMS/IPS 09-08-001 Type I Grade 3 references
• Multiple airframe OEM references: Boeing, Bombardier, McDonnell Douglas, Pilatus, Lockheed, Textron/Cessna, Embraer, ATR

Compatibility & Safety Notes

• Compatibility: Safe for painted and unpainted metallic surfaces. In severe corrosion zones, AV8 may be overcoated with heavier CIC (e.g., AV100D). Confirm compatibility near adhesives or paint zones.
• Safety / Hazards: Aerosol is extremely flammable, contains pressurized propellant (UN1950), vapors may cause dizziness or drowsiness, may cause eye/skin irritation. Use in well-ventilated areas.

Packaging & Procurement

• Aerospheres Listing: ARDROX-AV8-AEROSOL (400 ml aerosol)
• Typical Shelf Life: ~36 months (1095 days) from manufacture

Why ARDROX-AV8-AEROSOL is Chosen for AOG / MRO

• Speed & Reach: Aerosol spray reaches crevices, fastener holes, and cavities without disassembly
• Spec Acceptance: OEM / MIL approval reduces rework and ensures compliance
• Low Film Weight: Protects against corrosion without interfering with tolerances
• Versatility: Works on painted & bare surfaces; available in aerosol and bulk formats

Practical Suggestions for Teams

• Keep several 400 ml aerosols on line carts for rapid response, plus bulk 1–20 L cans for hangar/depot work
• Train ground crew on proper spray techniques and areas to avoid
• Maintain SDS/TDS digitally and attach lot traceability for audits and OEM compliance

Manufacture / Aviation Spec Codes

• MIL: MIL-PRF-16173 Class 1
• Boeing / McDonnell Douglas: DMS 2150 Type 1 (bulk) / Type 2 (aerosol)
• Airbus / AIMS / IPS: IPS / AIMS corrosion inhibitor references
• Other OEMs: Bombardier, Textron, Pilatus, Lockheed, Embraer, ATR cross-reference lists
