SkyKleen 1000 Solvent 

SkyKleen 1000, is a new-generation aviation solvent engineered to deliver excellent cleaning performance while prioritizing environmental responsibility and worker safety. It is a clear, water-white liquid with low odor that is designed as a smarter alternative to traditional, more aggressive solvents like acetone, isopropyl alcohol, freon, or chlorinated solvents. SkyKleen 1000 effectively dissolves and removes a wide range of aviation-specific contaminants without adversely affecting metals or leaving residue. Its controlled evaporation rate allows for better penetration and reduced waste, making it a versatile and efficient cleaning solution for aircraft maintenance.

Key Characteristics:

• Advanced Solvent Technology: Specifically formulated for aerospace applications, combining powerful cleaning with improved safety and environmental profiles.
  
• Environmentally Friendly: Inherently biodegradable, non-halogenated, non-ozone depleting, and minimizes VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions. It is classified as non-hazardous waste per RCRA.
  
• Low Odor: Significantly more pleasant to work with compared to many traditional solvents, enhancing worker comfort and safety.
  
• Non-Combustible/Non-Caustic: Features a high flash point (typically above 99°C / 210°F), making it non-combustible under normal use conditions, and is non-caustic, reducing risks to personnel and materials.
  
• Effective Cleaning: Highly effective at dissolving and removing various aviation contaminants.
  
• Material Compatibility: Does not adversely affect common aircraft metals, carbon epoxy composites, or many paints, crucial for maintaining aircraft integrity.
  
• No Residue: Evaporates cleanly, leaving no residue behind, which is vital for pre-painting and pre-bonding preparations.
  
• Controlled Evaporation: A relatively slow evaporation rate allows for better penetration into contaminants and reduces product waste.

Application in Aviation:

• Polysulfide Sealant Removal: Used to remove both cured and uncured polysulfide sealants, which are extensively used in aircraft fuel tanks and fuselage sealing.
  RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) Silicone Removal: Efficiently removes RTV silicones used for sealing and gasketing.
  
• Degreasing: Excellent for degreasing various aircraft components, including engine parts, before inspection or reassembly.
  
• Carbon Removal: Effective in removing carbon deposits from brake and piston housings.
  
• Engine Cleaning: Used for external cleaning of engine components and bays.
  Final Cleaning Prior to Painting and Bonding: Essential for preparing surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion of paints, primers, and adhesives.
  
• General Surface Cleaning: Ideal for routine cleaning of aircraft surfaces, composite structures (e.g., carbon epoxy composites), and fiberglass resin removal.
  
• Adhesive/Epoxy Removal: Helps in the removal of certain adhesives and epoxies during repair or overhaul.
