Flamemaster CS 1900 is a two-component, non-silicone, elastomeric firewall sealant designed for aerospace applications. It effectively seals aircraft structures against air, vapor, and flames, making it ideal for fuel tank and fuselage sealing, including repairing integral fuel tanks, cabin pressure sealing, and aerodynamic smoothing.
Flamemaster CS 1900 is a specialized firewall sealant designed for high-temperature resistance and durability in aerospace applications. It operates effectively between -65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C) and can withstand flash temperatures up to 2,000°F (1,094°C). The uncured sealant has a low-sag consistency, making it easy to apply via extrusion gun or spatula. Once cured, it maintains flexibility and strong adhesion, ensuring long-lasting protection in extreme conditions.
