PPG has introduced a new battery-powered aerospace sealant dispensing tool that is easier to use than traditional manual and pneumatic applicators and dispenses at faster rates. The SEMCO model 1250 sealant tool weighs less than 3 pounds and is ergonomically designed with cordless and hoseless operation, compared with a standard Semco 250A dispensing tool that weighs about 2pounds and is typically tethered to a 10-foot hose. It operates on a 10.8-volt rechargeable lithium ion battery and can dispense up to 60 cartridges before the charge is exhausted. With its ergonomic design, it is easy to balance at the center. And a recoil effect reduces sealant drool after dispensing for cleaner operation with less waste. The battery takes about 60 minutes to fully recharge. Paris Air Show visitors can see a SEMCO model 1250 battery-operated dispensing tool at the PPG display in Hall 2b at Stand C105. The International Paris Air Show is June 19-25 at Le Bourget.
