Vantage iTPC Remover 37 is a premium, mild alkaline cleaning solution engineered by Vantage Specialties for the safe and efficient extraction of strippable temporary protective coatings (TPCs) from aerospace structures. Specially formulated to comply with the rigorous requirements of global aerospace engineering guidelines, it features a built-in package of advanced corrosion inhibitors to maximize multi-metal safety during chemical stripping. iTPC Remover 37 effectively penetrates, softens, and dissolves protective polymer matrices while maintaining a low VOC profile to safeguard hangar environments and depot air quality. It ensures absolute structural integrity on sensitive components, making it an indispensable asset for manufacturing lines, transport staging, and major overhaul depots.

Key Features & Aviation Benefits

• Integrated Corrosion Inhibitors: Formulated with a specialized metallurgy-safe package that prevents pitting, surface dulling, or micro-etching on sensitive aviation substrates.
• Targeted TPC Dissolution: Rapidly compromises the structural integrity of temporary transit and storage skins, allowing clean removal without extensive scrubbing.
• Low VOC Footprint: Designed to lower volatile organic compound emissions, assisting maintenance facilities in meeting strict environmental output thresholds.
• Safe for High-Strength Alloys: Eliminates hydrogen embrittlement risks, making it safe for critical airframe skins, complex structural components, and high-tolerance hardware.
• Zero Residue Surface Finish: Leaves zero trace films or tracking boundaries post-rinse, perfectly preparing underlying surfaces for subsequent painting, bonding, or technical inspection.

Typical Applications

• Temporary Protective Coating (TPC) Stripping: Extensively utilized to remove protective storage finishes and transit coatings applied to newly manufactured aircraft panels and subassemblies.
• De-preservation of Components: Applied in aerospace storage depots to rapidly prepare stored structural assets for active installation or final assembly line placement.
• MRO Airframe Surface Preparation: Used across maintenance bays to clean and strip localized protective compounds prior to non-destructive testing (NDT) or paint preparation cycles.

At Aircraft Shop Supply, we are committed to shipping the highest quality and freshest product possible. To ensure efficient stock rotation and meet aviation industry standards, our inventory management is governed by the following policy:

1. Scope of Application
All Sales Channels: This policy applies to all orders processed by Aircraft Shop Supply, including but not limited to: website purchases, direct email orders, formal Purchase Orders (POs), phone orders, and contract agreements.

2. Inventory Management (FIFO)
All products with an expiration date are managed and shipped on a strict "First In – First Out" (FIFO) basis.

3. Minimum Shipping Margin
Standard Guarantee: We will not ship any products with fewer than 30 days of use remaining (days before expiration), unless previously coordinated and agreed upon with the customer.

No Automatic Guarantees: Outside of this 30-day minimum margin, Aircraft Shop Supply does not make any automatic guarantee as to the specific length of time remaining on any shelf-life item for standard orders.

4. Special Customer Requirements
We understand that certain projects, maintenance schedules, or regulatory standards require strict specifications. If your order has specific shelf-life requirements, please proceed as follows:

How to Request: If you require a specific Date of Manufacture (DOM), Date of Expiration (DOE), or a specific minimum shelf-life percentage (%), you must clearly state this requirement:

In the Comments/Notes section when placing an online order.

Explicitly written on your Purchase Order (PO) or quote request email for offline orders.

Validation Process: Once your requirement is received:

We will ship your order if the available stock matches your specifications.

If we do not have the exact batch, we will contact you prior to shipping with the shelf-life percentage (%) or dates we have available for your acceptance.

5. Limitation of Liability and Validity of Information
To ensure transparency and manage expectations, the following terms and conditions apply:

Time-Limited Validity: Any information provided by our team regarding the remaining shelf-life percentage (%) is valid only at the exact time the inquiry is made. Due to high inventory turnover, availability is subject to change without prior notice.

Informational Purposes Only: Shelf-life data provided by Aircraft Shop Supply is strictly for informational purposes and reflects the availability at the moment of inquiry. It does not constitute a batch reservation or a product warranty.
