Body Sealer Type and Application

Interweld Sealer

Hot applied heat expanding weldable sealer is now

used in all seam joints throughout the body structure.

This material is not suitable for in field use.
When fitting replacement panels, all mating surfaces

are to be cleaned of this sealant and the cleaned

surfaces painted with zinc rich primer (weld through

primer). The edges of seams should be closed by a

sealer, applied after the primer coat and before the

undercoat.

Expanding Sealers/Adhesives

There are a number of areas in the body structure

where an expanfing sealer is used to exclude dust

and moisture from inside the struture.
This material is formulated to foam up and expand

when heat is applied. When fitting a new panel or

section of a panel where an expanding sealer is

located and welding is to take place, all sealant must

be removed for at least 50mm each side of the area

to be welded prior to final fit up of the replacement

panel and the exposed surface primed with a zinc rich

primer.

Structural Composite Foam
This material is deposited in the areas shown in

section 5 during vehicle maintenance. It is formulated

to expand and solidify with the application of heat.

The material is not serviced for in field service use.
