Henkel Launches Water-Saving Aircraft Cleaner for Sustainable Aviation
Henkel Adhesive Technologies has launched Bonderite C-AK DW 805 AERO, an innovative, water-saving aircraft cleaner. The product aims to contribute to a more sustainable future in the aviation industry.
Bonderite C-AK DW 805 AERO is a ready-to-use, viscous emulsion that can be applied by spraying or damp mopping onto any aircraft surface. It clings to vertical surfaces and wipes off easily with a clean, damp microfiber cloth seconds after application. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and oils, leaving a clean, high-gloss finish and providing long-term protection against corrosion, UV rays, and oxidation.
The product is non-flammable with a high flash point (>94°C) and delivers reliable performance over a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. It can be safely stored and transported at temperatures ranging from +5°C to 45°C. Notably, it eliminates the need for water rinsing and wastewater treatment, making it a sustainable choice for aircraft maintenance.
Omar Abu-Shanab, Vice President of Product Development for Surface Treatment at Henkel Adhesive Technologies, has overseen the development of this innovative cleaner. Bonderite C-AK DW 805 AERO is free from phosphates, chromates, halogenated and aromatic solvents, making it safe for use on various surfaces including metals, paints, glass, plexiglass, acrylic, and polycarbonate.
Henkel's Bonderite C-AK DW 805 AERO offers a water-saving, sustainable solution for aircraft cleaning. It provides excellent cleaning results, long-term protection, and minimal downtime, as it can be used without taking an aircraft out of service. The product's wide range of safety and performance features make it an attractive choice for the aviation industry's sustainability efforts.
