Aircraft degreasers and industrial cleaners remove grease, oil, grime, carbon, sludge, soot, and other difficult contaminants from compatible aircraft components, equipment, and surfaces. BAC carries solvent-based and water-based degreasers in aerosol, ready-to-use, and concentrated formulations.

Different degreasers are formulated for different levels of contamination and substrates. Select the cleaner according to the material being cleaned, the type of contamination, the required cleaning method, and the manufacturer's compatibility information.

Aviation Degreasers for Maintenance

Degreasing is commonly performed during inspection, repair, component maintenance, and general shop cleaning. Removing oil and grease can make contamination, leaks, corrosion, and component conditions easier to identify.

Degreaser Type Typical Contamination Example Applications
Heavy-Duty Solvent Degreaser Heavy grease, oil, grime Metal parts and equipment
Water-Based Cleaner/Degreaser Oil, grease, sludge, soot and stubborn soils General industrial and maintenance cleaning
Surface-Preparation Degreaser Oil and surface contaminants Preparation before painting or bonding
Aircraft Exterior Cleaner/Degreaser Oil, carbon, bugs, dirt and grime Aircraft exterior and engine-area cleaning

Degreasers Available from BAC

BAC carries degreasers including LPS ZeroTri Heavy-Duty Degreaser, LPS Precision Clean, LPS PreSolve Orange, LPS A-151 Cleaner/Degreaser, Spartan SD-20, and Zip-Chem SurPrep 3160.

These products differ in formulation, application method, and intended use. Refer to the individual product information for specific substrate compatibility and operating instructions.

Surface Preparation Before Painting or Bonding

Cleaning and degreasing are important steps when preparing a surface for subsequent painting or bonding. Zip-Chem SurPrep 3160, for example, is designed to prepare critical surface areas prior to painting or bonding and meets MIL-PRF-680A Type II.

Proper preparation depends on the coating, adhesive, substrate, and maintenance procedure. Follow the applicable product and aircraft maintenance instructions rather than assuming that any degreaser is suitable for every surface-preparation application.

Selecting an Aircraft Degreaser

  • Identify the contaminant: Determine whether you are removing oil, grease, carbon, grime, sludge, soot, or another contaminant.
  • Identify the substrate: Verify compatibility with aluminum, composites, painted surfaces, rubber, plastics, and other materials as applicable.
  • Consider the application: Aerosols, sprays, foams, and concentrates have different application characteristics.
  • Consider residue: Surface-preparation applications may require a cleaner that evaporates or rinses without leaving unwanted residue.
  • Review safety requirements: Consult the current SDS and manufacturer's instructions before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aircraft degreaser?

An aircraft degreaser is a cleaning chemical intended to remove oil, grease, grime, and other difficult contaminants from compatible aircraft components or surfaces.

What is the difference between a degreaser and a contact cleaner?

Degreasers are generally intended for oil, grease, grime, and heavier contamination, while contact cleaners are formulated specifically for electrical contacts and electronic components.

Can degreaser be used before painting?

Some products are specifically intended for surface preparation before painting or bonding. Verify the product's intended use and compatibility before applying it to a surface that will subsequently be painted or bonded.
