Additionally, Acedet 5509 can be used to clean transport rolls in the tempering oven. The product is virtually foam-free when applied at the recommended temperature range of 40-60°C.

Thanks to its non-ionic composition, Acedet 5509 has no negative impact on ion exchange systems, and its detergency remains unaffected by the ion exchanger. It is also compatible with one-cycle washing machines.

Key Features:

• Silicone-based: Resists water washout, weathering, and harsh environments
• Exceptional water resistance: Meets global standards for water contact, making it suitable for plumbing and marine use
• Wide temperature range: Effective from -40°C to 200°C (-40°F to 392°F)
• Low vapor pressure and volatility: Reduces evaporation, ensuring lasting performance
• Compatibility: Safe for many plastics and elastomers, commonly used in seals and gaskets
• Safe for food and water contact: Complies with FDA 175.300 and NSF 51, ideal for potable water and food applications

The uncured sealant is a low-sag, thixotropic paste, making it easy to apply with an extrusion gun or spatula. It cures at room temperature to create a resilient, durable seal with excellent adhesion to common aircraft materials.

3M 425 Aluminum Foil Tape is ideal for various specialized uses, including as a maskant for aluminum electroplating, where it prevents bath contamination. For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces above 0°C (32°F).
