Description

Cleaning in engine repair comes before defect inspection, since penetrant or magnetic particle inspection, measurements and coating restoration are possible only from a clean surface. Combustion chambers and turbine blades are covered with tough scale and oxides, compressor and unit parts with carbon deposits, grease and paint layers. So the line covers multi-stage processes with alkaline and acid compounds, conditioning solutions for loosening scale and agents for removing carbon deposits and paints. Separately the manufacturer mentions cleaners for the gas path and the thrust reverser. Tanks last longer, and the products are approved by major aero engine makers, although the list of approvals is not given in the data. The production of aviation chemistry is certified to EN 9100:2018 in Frankfurt and to AS9100 in the USA.

How to choose

The process is selected by the alloy, and nickel and cobalt heat-resistant alloys, titanium, steel and aluminum are used here, and also by the repair manual of the specific engine. For the hot section compounds for scale and oxides are needed, for the compressor and units those for carbon deposits, greases and paints. If a part is only degreased before inspection, the General Purpose Cleaners line is enough. Technical data sheets (TDS) and technological support are provided by the manufacturer on request.

FAQ

What exactly does this chemistry remove from engine parts?

High-temperature oxides, scale, carbon deposits, residues of paints, greases and oils, without damaging the base metal and the required coatings.

Why clean parts before defect inspection?

Penetrant or magnetic particle inspection, measurements and coating restoration can be done only from a clean surface.

Which engine parts are processed?

Hot-section parts, namely combustion chambers, turbine nozzle and rotor blades, as well as compressor and unit parts. There are cleaners for the gas path and the reverser.

What is its advantage in tanks?

According to the manufacturer, the products have high efficiency and an extended tank service life.

Which certificates does the production have?

Aviation chemistry is produced under the quality system EN 9100:2018 (Frankfurt) and AS9100 (Jackson, USA).
