materials are intended for the sealing
of faying surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION

To obtain good adhesion, the surfaces must be free of all traces of oil, wax, grease, dirt or other contamination.
Working in small area segments, wipe the surface using a clean rag doused in an oil free solvent. Before the solvent
evaporates, wipe the surface dry with a second clean rag. Maintain a clean solvent supply by pouring the solvent on
the washing cloth. CS 3213 will adhere tenaciously to most substrates providing the surface to be sealed is clean
and sound.

CS 3213 Parts A and B are carefully matched at the time of manufacture to provide optimum performance when
cured. Care should be taken to assure that Parts A and B are combined as recommended on the container label.
When mixing pre-measured kits do not thin CS 3213 with solvents. Prior to combining with the Part A component,
stir the Part B component until the contents of the container are uniform. Place the entire B component into the Part
A container and continue stirring until a uniform gray color is achieved. There should be no white or black streaks
in the properly blended material. Periodically scrape the sides and bottom of the container as well as the mixing tool
to assure proper mixing. When using a mechanical mixer, avoid high speeds since the heat generated will reduce the
application time of the mixed CS 3213. Violent stirring will also entrap air in the cured sealant.

When mixing materials packaged in bulk or when only a small quantity is required, stir the recommended parts by
weight of the Part B component into 100 parts by weight of the Part A component. Be sure to stir the Part B prior to
weighing out the required amount.

CURE
Specified application and cure schedules are based on the standard conditions of 77°F and 50% relative
humidity. Increased temperature and relative humidity will reduce the work life and speed up the cure
while reduced temperatures and relative humidity will extend the work life and slow the cure. Heating up
to 120°F accelerates cure. However care must be exercised to avoid the entrapment of solvent when heat
is applied.

STORAGE LIFE
The storage life of CS 3213 is nine months when stored in the original unopened containers at
temperatures below 80°F. Some change in work life, viscosity and curing rate may occur during this
period. However, such changes are slight and in no way affect the end performance of the product.

APPLICATION

The work life of CS 3213 is indicated by the number following the type designation and varies from 1/4
hour to 4 hours for type A-B, 20 hours to 96 hours for type C. Work life is the minimum amount of time
the material will maintain its application properties. Squeeze out time (assembly time) type C only

Note: I the specifications for Type C material contain no standard cure requirements. Flamemaster cures the mixed
material at RT for 48 hours then at 140o F for 8 hours a minimum shore A 35 is our requirement.

CLEAN UP
For surface preparation as well as removing fresh or cured CS 3213, Methylene Chloride can be used. Cured CS
3213 will require a soaking period in Methylene Chloride bases stripper for satisfactory removal.

SAFETY

CS 3213 Type A and C contain toluene within the limits called out by Mil-S-8802. The maximum allowable
concentration in the atmosphere of the work area is 200 ppm. CS 3213 Type A and C should be used with adequate
ventilation. For more information refer to Bulletin Number SD-63 of the Manufacturing Chemists Association.
Avoid prolonged contact and wash with soap and water prior to eating or smoking. CS 3213 Type A and C have a
flash point of 90°F. The flash point of CS 3213 Type B is over 200°F. "Flamemaster supplied aviation fuel tank
sealants and coating materials are tested for compatibility with reference fluids and fuels as specified by the
applicable specification. Flamemaster does not warranty the performance of fuel tank sealants or coatings subjected
to fluids or fuels other than those specified by the applicable specification." "It is the responsibility of the user to
determine the suitability for use utilizing the information contained in the applicable specification."
