The Boeing Company and Spirit AeroSystems have approved Petroferm’s CleanSafe 787C aqueous cleaner for use on carbon fiber reinforced plastics.
The Boeing Company and Spirit AeroSystems have approved Petroferm’s CleanSafe 787C aqueous cleaner for use on carbon fiber reinforced plastics. It is currently the only aqueous cleaning product on the market approved by both OEMs for cleaning composite structures including those materials found in Boeing BMS 8-212, 8-392, 8-256, 8-276.
The cleaner is an aqueous cleaning solution designed for spray-in-air and agitated immersion equipment. It is selected when a non-foaming, non-scaling cleaner with excellent substrate compatibility and low environmental impact is required. The cleaner is also safe for use on bare, alodined and anodized aluminium, carbon steel, copper and copper alloys, magnesium, stainless steel and titanium. It is even approved for use on faying surfaces in accordance with Boeing BAC 5763 “Emulsion Cleaning and Aqueous Degreasing” process specification.
