Aerowing Rapid Desealing Tool (RDS)

This pneumatic handheld tool is designed to improve the sealant removal process by significantly reducing the time and physical effort it takes to remove cured sealant from aircraft fuel tanks and other aviation parts. The RDS uses vibration technology to debond the sealant from the surface at high speed while eliminating sealant dust generation and reducing FOD. This tool is safe for use inside fuel tanks.

Aerowing Manual Desealing Tool (MDS)

This handheld tool is designed to improve the sealant removal process by reducing the physical effort it takes to remove sealant and the resulting FOD created.

The MDS uses Aerowing-patented medical grade, thermoplastic tips to remove the sealant. The tips have been tested for use on aircraft structure as well as delicate primer, and the results verify no resulting damage. These tips are specifically designed to aid sealant removal in spaces that are difficult to navigate. They include multi-angled tips, bladed and flat tips, and more.

Aerowing Combo Kit: Rapid Desealing Tool (RDS) & Manual Desealing Tool (MDS)

The Desealing Tool Kit combines both the pneumatic Rapid Desealing Tool (RDS) and the Manual Desealing Tool (MDS) into one unit.

The RDS uses vibration technology to debond the sealant from the surface at high speed and is safe for use in fuel tanks and elsewhere. The MDS is a manual tool that removes sealant by hand. Both tools eliminate sealant dust generation and reduce FOD.

The RDS and MDS use Aerowing-patented medical grade, thermoplastic tips to remove the sealant. The tips have been tested for use on aircraft structure as well as delicate primer, and the results verify no resulting damage. These tips are specifically designed to aid sealant removal in spaces that are difficult to navigate. They include multi-angled tips, bladed and flat tips, and more.
