The present disclosure provides fluid barriers as well as systems and methods of forming fluid barriers. The method includes cleaning, via a blast media, a first side of a component and heating the component to a first temperature. Subsequently, the component is cleaned using a solvent. Subsequent to heating at least the component, a primer coating layer is formed on the first side of the component, and a topcoat layer is formed in contact with the primer coating layer. A primer coating material can be heated to a second temperature prior to formation of the primer coating layer. The first temperature can be different than the second temperature.

Systems and methods of forming a fluid barrier

A fire seal end cap including a cap portion and a plug portion, wherein the plug portion protrudes from the cap portion, and wherein the cap portion and the plug portion are formed from a fire-resistant material.

Fire seal end cap and associated multi-member assembly and method

A multi-member assembly including a first structural member, a second structural member opposed from the first structural member, a crossover seal positioned between the first and second structural members, wherein the crossover seal defines a bore, and an end cap including a cap portion and a plug portion protruding from the cap portion, wherein the plug portion is at least partially received in the bore such that the cap portion bridges the first and second structural members.

A seal including an acute bend having a first end portion and a second end portion, a first engagement extension extending from the first end portion of the acute bend, and a second engagement extension extending from the second end portion of the acute bend, wherein the second engagement extension is at an acute angle relative to the first engagement extension to define a partially enclosed volume between the first engagement extension and the second engagement extension.
