Description
eOx
Aircraft
Cleaner (AC)
is a specialty product for the aviation industry.
eOx AC is suitable for external and internal cleaning of virtually
all metal and/or painted surfaces. eOx
Aircraft Cleaner
completely removes difficult substances such as hydraulic oil, grease,
carbon, brake dust, "blue stains", and dirt safely and easily. Unlike other cleaners that
only remove surface contamination, eOx AC
removes chemicals and dirt from the grain of the paint thus making it look
new and extending its useful life. eOx AC
conforms to Boeing D6-17487, Douglas CSD #1, AMS 1525B and AMS 155A.

Application
eOx AC
can be used in either wet wash or dry wash aircraft
cleaning applications. It can also be used to clean smaller parts in an
ultrasonic cleaning tank.
-
When applying
eOx
AC
with a spray applicator, start working from the bottom to the top to
avoid getting stripes on the fuselage or other large surfaces.
-
Work on limited areas so that product does not dry before rinsing.
-
Whatever system is used for cleaning with
eOx
AC,
a mechanical action (brush, sponge, aeration of solution, ultrasonic,
etc.) is required to break the surface tension of the dirt. Just wetting
or soaking for an extended time will not be sufficient for
cleaning.
-
After 2 cleanings,
eOx
AC
will form an anti-static layer on the cleaned surface. This
layer helps prevent dirt from sticking to the surface in the future,
thereby making it easier to remove. Over time, the dilution can then be
increased up to 1:8 maximum.
-
Warming
eOx
AC
accelerates the cleaning process.
-
Circulation of the solution in a parts washer will enhance cleaning.
-
Ultrasonic baths may accelerate cleaning time, but are not required.
-
Contaminants may be precipitated or filtered out of the
eOx
AC
product solution to facilitate disposal. The remaining
eOx
AC
may be reused provided pH continues to meet specifications.
