Ardrox Aircraft Line Maintenance products for aircraft washing, on-wing engine cleaning and cabin care

Technical specifications

Specifications are taken from the manufacturer’s technical documentation. Updated 11/10/2026.

Description

There are three technologies for exterior washing. Wet wash requires rinsing, dry wash is chosen where water is scarce, and the wipe-on/wipe-off method involves applying the compound and removing it with a cloth without rinsing. A clean skin affects aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption, and also makes visual inspection of the structure for corrosion and damage easier. Polishing compounds restore gloss to unpainted and painted surfaces. On-wing engine cleaners remove deposits from the gas path without removal, which helps keep engine parameters between overhauls. Cabin products clean the interior trim materials. The range is developed to the requirements of the aviation industry, and the aerospace segment is certified to EN 9100:2018 and AS9100. According to the manufacturer, the compounds are approved by leading aircraft and engine makers.

How to choose

The use of a specific product must comply with the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) and the list of materials approved by the type developer. So first look at this list, and only then at the task. Where water is scarce, select dry wash or wipe-on/wipe-off, and for a full wash the wet method is suitable. If the engine is disassembled for overhaul and scale and carbon deposits must be removed, a different line is needed, Engine Overhaul Products.
