Evaporative Floating Mineral Oil Seal

Vantage Additive O is a specialized, high-purity floating mineral oil seal engineered by Vantage Specialties to eliminate chemical evaporation and minimize operational odor in heated immersion paint stripping tanks. Formulated specifically to complement depot-level hot tank immersion lines—such as those utilizing Vantage B&B 9201 and IPR 9323 chemistries—this advanced aditive creates a continuous, stable thermal barrier on the fluid surface. By drastically reducing vapor transmission and chemical loss, Additive O significantly extends tank bath longevity and lowers overall chemical turnover costs.

Aviation Depot Advantage: Operating at continuous high temperatures accelerates solvent loss and increases hangar emissions. Vantage Additive O forms an unreactive, high-flash floating cap that mitigates fume columns, simplifies facility environmental EHS compliance, and maintains the core chemical matrix equilibrium of the underlying paint remover.

Ordering Information:
• Please verify your immersion tank dimensions and volume requirements with our aviation supply specialists to calculate the exact dosage needed for an optimal surface seal.

Key Features & Aviation Benefits

• Evaporative Loss Elimination: Creates an impermeable physical blanket over heated fluids, cutting down costly active solvent evaporation.
• Fume and Odor Mitigation: Suppresses toxic vapor columns and chemical odors, dramatically improving workplace breathing safety conditions inside busy MRO hangars.
• Thermal Bath Stability: Engineered to remain chemically stable under continuous operational heat without breaking down or mixing into the underlying paint stripper.
• Extended Chemical Longevity: Maximizes immersion bath life, reducing replenishment frequency and lowering overall shop chemical overhead.
• Total Substrate Neutrality: Formulated completely free of corrosive compounds, ensuring full multi-metal compatibility during critical aircraft wheel and landing gear stripping cycles.

Typical Applications

• Hot Tank Surface Sealing: Poured directly into heated mild steel or stainless steel immersion paint stripping tanks to form a floating layer.
• Aircraft Wheel Overhaul Lines: Deployed in combination with MIL-PRF-83936 tank chemistries during high-volume wheel half stripping protocols.
• MRO Landing Gear Stripping Bays: Used to cap large immersion lines to control facility environmental emissions and fluid degradation under continuous heat.

At Aircraft Shop Supply, we are committed to shipping the highest quality and freshest product possible. To ensure efficient stock rotation and meet aviation industry standards, our inventory management is governed by the following policy:

1. Scope of Application
All Sales Channels: This policy applies to all orders processed by Aircraft Shop Supply, including but not limited to: website purchases, direct email orders, formal Purchase Orders (POs), phone orders, and contract agreements.

2. Inventory Management (FIFO)
All products with an expiration date are managed and shipped on a strict "First In – First Out" (FIFO) basis.

3. Minimum Shipping Margin
Standard Guarantee: We will not ship any products with fewer than 30 days of use remaining (days before expiration), unless previously coordinated and agreed upon with the customer.

No Automatic Guarantees: Outside of this 30-day minimum margin, Aircraft Shop Supply does not make any automatic guarantee as to the specific length of time remaining on any shelf-life item for standard orders.

4. Special Customer Requirements
We understand that certain projects, maintenance schedules, or regulatory standards require strict specifications. If your order has specific shelf-life requirements, please proceed as follows:

How to Request: If you require a specific Date of Manufacture (DOM), Date of Expiration (DOE), or a specific minimum shelf-life percentage (%), you must clearly state this requirement:

In the Comments/Notes section when placing an online order.

Explicitly written on your Purchase Order (PO) or quote request email for offline orders.

Validation Process: Once your requirement is received:

We will ship your order if the available stock matches your specifications.

If we do not have the exact batch, we will contact you prior to shipping with the shelf-life percentage (%) or dates we have available for your acceptance.

5. Limitation of Liability and Validity of Information
To ensure transparency and manage expectations, the following terms and conditions apply:

Time-Limited Validity: Any information provided by our team regarding the remaining shelf-life percentage (%) is valid only at the exact time the inquiry is made. Due to high inventory turnover, availability is subject to change without prior notice.

Informational Purposes Only: Shelf-life data provided by Aircraft Shop Supply is strictly for informational purposes and reflects the availability at the moment of inquiry. It does not constitute a batch reservation or a product warranty.
