Av-Dec - Thixoflex TG8498-50 (50-CC-CARTRIDGE)

Additional Product Information

Overview

This two-component urethane injectable sealant is designed for watertight, flexible, and durable sealing in aviation and MRO operations. It is relied upon by maintenance teams for fast, reliable sealing, gap-filling, and environmental protection in critical aircraft areas, including connectors, cargo bays, and wet zones. Its formulation allows for easy application, repairs, and removal while maintaining strong cohesion and minimal residue.
