  • Patent number: 4101497
    Abstract: A coating which is both a flexible sealant and a corrosion-inhibitive primer which can be used to protect the exterior skin and fastener patterns of high performance aircraft at low temperatures. The coating includes corrosion inhibitive pigmentation, resins, a curing agent, and a solvent blend permitting spray application of the coating. The two resins included in the coating are a reaction product of an epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A plus a polyurethane elastomer which is a reaction product of an aromatic isocyanate and a polyether glycol. The curing agent is a blocked diamine, i.e., a ketimine. The ketimine can be prepared by reacting a carbonyl compound and an aromatic diamine. Water is produced in this reaction. The reaction is reversible, so that as the ketimine absorbs atmospheric moisture, the aromatic diamine is released and in turn cures or cross-links the resins.
