Potential Uses 

  • Thermal insulation for composites and plastics
  • Thermal insulation of key in-flight equipment during an onboard fire with temperature resistance to 2000°F for 10 minutes
  • Thermal insulation of key components that are in close proximity to fuel and lube oil pumps, valves or other handling devices that represent a fire potential
 

MI-15â Top Coat for MA-25â

MI-15 is a low density, room temperature curing, ablator/insulator which has been used extensively for thermal protection on aircraft and space launch vehicles. Primarily applied to MA-25, it improves wear resistance, eliminates permeation and minimizes handling damage. In aircraft engine applications, continuous use temperatures range between 300-600°F. Extensive fire testing has shown, when top coated with the MI-15 elastomeric topcoat, it can withstand 2000°F for 10 minutes.  The MI-15 material has been certified for fireproof protection of fan thrust reversers per FAR Part 25.1181a and FAA Advisory Circular AC 20-135. The material is a filled elastomeric silicone. When MI-15 is used as a topcoat for MA-25S, it provides fluid proof protection and prevents potential undermining of the MA-25S. The MI-15 is unaffected by hydraulic oil and lube oil. The MI-15 top coat will protect the underlying MA-25 insulation for up to 30 days of exposure to:

  • Jet Fuel (JP4 & AL)
  • Lube Oil (Exxon 2380)
  • Hydraulic Fluid (Shydrol)
  • Alkaline Cleaning Fluid
  • Anti-icing (PPG & IPA)
  • Solvents (MEK, TCE, Heptane)
  • Salt Water
