QwikSeal Pre-Sealed Fastener Technology Quad Chart Narrative Briefing Capabilities BrochureKeywords: Self-sealing fastener, moisture-curable polythioether sealant, wet-fastener installation, galvanic corrosion protection Abstract: QwikSeal® self-sealing fastener technology bypasses the time-consuming preparation steps involved in wet fastener installation. High-rate automated processes precisely apply moisture-curable polythioether sealant and a protective moisture barrier coating to fasteners prior to installation. Under license to commercialization partner PPG Aerospace/PRC-DeSoto International, a global leader in aerospace sealants, QwikSeal application machines will be located at key airframer and maintenance facilities, providing just-in-time processing. QwikSeal requires no changes to fasteners, holes, or tooling, and eliminates virtually all sealant handling. QwikSeal can cut manufacturing costs and cycle times, improve quality and consistency, and reduce hazmat. This 12-year-old company with expertise in sealants and barrier materials seeks funding from Department of Defense program offices and prime contractors to complete development of QwikSeal and its manufacturing system for customer delivery.
