Frequently Asked Questions

What is Armite 1001 Degreaser and what military specification does it meet?

Armite 1001 is a high-quality, clear mineral spirits solvent specifically formulated for degreasing aircraft and engine components. It is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-680B Type II (Degreasing Solvent), making it the approved choice for military and commercial MRO facilities requiring a safe, effective cleaner for metal parts.

One of the most critical features of Armite 1001 is its high flash point (minimum 141°F / 61°C). This significantly reduces the risk of fire during maintenance compared to low-flash solvents. Additionally, it is a low-odor formula, which improves the working environment for technicians in confined hangar spaces.

No, Armite 1001 is engineered to be residue-free. It evaporates completely and leaves no oily film behind, ensuring that surfaces are perfectly prepared for subsequent painting, bonding, or the application of fresh lubricants and anti-seize compounds.

Yes, it is non-corrosive to all common metals, including aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and high-strength steels. It effectively removes heavy oils, greases, and preservation compounds without attacking the metal substrate, which is essential for preserving the integrity of sensitive aerospace components.
