Aviation cleaning and degreasing agents are specialized products designed to remove grease, oil, dirt, and other contaminants from aircraft surfaces and components, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
The ZOK 27 gas turbine compressor and gas path cleaner features a water-based, biodegradable formula that acts as both a cleaner and corrosion inhibitor. Its unique design allows engines to be washed and protected, enabling an immediate start without requiring a rinse beforehand.
This is originally developed for the UK Ministry of Defence, it is now widely used across various industries, including aviation, marine, power generation, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.
The effectiveness and duration of corrosion inhibition depend on environmental conditions. However, it can be easily restored with a simple engine wash no demineralized water rinse needed.
ZOK 27 is available in both concentrate and ready-to-use forms.
Magkleen 4 is a colorless solvent blend intended for use by spray or immersion, to remove oil and grease from bare or painted surfaces.
Ardrox 185L (SAE ARP 1755B) is a highly alkaline concentrated solution in water containing sequestrants. It is also available as a powder under the name Ardox 185.
Ardox 185L is primary intended for the removal of heavy rust and scale from ferrous components in immersion tanks but it is also capable to remove oil, grease and some air-dried paints. It will not attack or cause hydrogen embrittlement in ferrous alloys and there is markedly less tendency for re-rusting to occur than with acid pickling.
When used in conjunction with the adequate other Ardox specialties, Ardox 185L can be used to remove scale from hot-end jet engine components. It can also be cleaning parts of titanium.
