PR-2870 Class B non-chromate corrosion inhibitive sealant
Description Performance properties (typical)
PR-2870 Class B is a light weight, non-chromate corrosion Cured 14 days @ 77°F (25°C), 50% RH
inhibitive sealant. It has a service temperature range from
-80°F (-62°C) to 250°F (121°C), with intermittent excursions up Cured specific gravity 1.1
