AS106 FAA-PMA Red Silicone Adhesive Sealant – 10.3 oz Cartridge for High-Temperature Applications

Aerospace Sealants AS106 Red Silicone Adhesive Sealant in 10.3 oz cartridge format provides FAA-PMA approved high-temperature red silicone sealing in a cartridge gun delivery system for faster, more controlled application on larger sealing areas. The cartridge format is ideal for engine nacelle sealing, firewall joint applications, and other high-temperature sealing work where consistent bead size and reduced application time are important.

AS106 red silicone provides excellent high-temperature performance, maintaining its flexibility, adhesion, and sealing integrity in thermally demanding aircraft zones far beyond the service temperature limit of standard silicone or polysulfide sealants. Its red color allows immediate visual identification of the sealant bead and inspection of coverage completeness in critical aircraft zones.

The 10.3 oz cartridge is compatible with standard manual, pneumatic, and battery-powered cartridge guns. Using a cartridge gun reduces hand fatigue on large sealing jobs and provides more consistent bead size than tube application, improving the quality and repeatability of the sealed joint.

Technical Information

AS106 red silicone cartridge contains the same high-performance silicone rubber chemistry as the tube format, providing identical FAA-PMA qualified performance. The cartridge packaging maintains the one-component moisture-cure sealant in an airtight condition, preventing premature cure before application. Once the cartridge cap is removed and the nozzle pierced, the sealant begins curing when exposed to atmospheric moisture.

The cartridge system allows variable bead diameter by trimming the plastic nozzle tip to different lengths — a shorter cut provides a larger diameter bead, while a longer nozzle tip provides a finer bead. This flexibility allows the same cartridge to be used for both wide fillet seals and narrow joint beads, reducing the number of different packaging formats needed on the job.

After each use, the cartridge plunger should be retracted slightly to relieve pressure and prevent sealant from being forced out of the nozzle during storage between applications. The nozzle should be sealed with a cap or plug to prevent atmospheric moisture from curing the sealant in the nozzle tip, which would block the nozzle before the next use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the MPN for AS106 red 10.3oz cartridge?
A: MPN is AS106-9C. Specification: AS106 FAA-PMA.

Q: Is AS106 cartridge suitable for engine nacelle sealing?
A: Yes. AS106 is a high-temperature rated silicone sealant suitable for engine nacelle, firewall, and other high-temperature aircraft zone sealing applications where FAA-PMA approved silicone is required.

Q: What guns work with AS106 10.3oz cartridge?
A: Any standard 10 oz / 300ml cartridge gun — manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered.

Q: Can I adjust the bead size from the AS106 cartridge?
A: Yes. Trim the nozzle tip at different lengths to adjust the bead diameter to suit your joint width requirement.

Q: How do I prevent the cartridge nozzle from clogging between uses?
A: After use, retract the gun plunger to relieve pressure, then seal the nozzle with a cap or plug to prevent moisture-induced curing in the nozzle tip.
