Technology Description of Corrosion- Inhibited Mildew Remover - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• Mildew growth is widespread on interior surfaces of rotary wing aircraft

due to their humid and wet operating environment. Mildew buildup is also a health hazard to pilots and maintenance personnel.

• The use of unauthorized cleaning solutions, such as household chlorine

bleach (sodium hypochlorite), can induce corrosion damage to critical metallic surfaces.

• NAVCLEAN DRY meets all NAVAIR’s corrosion and mildew cleaning

requirements.

• To classify NAVCLEAN DRY as a fungicide/mildewcide product, it must

be registered at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requirements.
