Surface Prep
Aircraft maintenance is essential for ensuring safety and reliability. A clean exterior allows for easier detection of potential issues like cracks or leaks, and improves fuel efficiency by removing dirt and grime that can cause drag. Surface preparation is also critical for the performance and safety of aviation components, as it ensures that coatings adhere properly and provide the necessary protection against corrosion and other environmental factors.
Techspray offers a line of cleaning solvents and wipes specifically formulated for aviation surface prep. They are designed to remove heavy buildups like hydraulic oils and fluids, tar, adhesives, and grease from aircraft exteriors. Surface prep products for aircraft interiors and exterior tackle dust, debris, resins, and coatings. Techspray surface prep products are used to clean and prepare surfaces before painting, coating or bonding to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.
EmaroSolv MR
MR is a safer alternative to MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) and MPK (methyl propyl ketone) for surface cleaning and preparation.
FAQ's
What are the EPA Standards for MEK?
The EPA regulates MEK under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). MEK is listed as a Hazardous Air Pollutant under the CAA and is regulated for industrial emissions. While there's no specific federal drinking water standard for MEK, it is monitored under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule. Facilities must report MEK releases annually if thresholds are exceeded, and it's classified as hazardous waste under RCRA when discarded.
Why is surface preparation crucial for aircraft maintenance?
Effective surface preparation is crucial in aviation, enhancing safety and reliability by detecting issues such as cracks or leaks. It also improves fuel efficiency by eliminating drag-inducing contaminants. Successful preparation ensures that coatings adhere correctly, providing protection against corrosion and environmental stressors.Techspray offers specialized cleaning solvents for aviation surface prep, tackling heavy buildups and ensuring optimal adhesion and performance.
What are the health effects of MEK exposure?
Exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) via inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, and may cause headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Long-term effects on humans are not well understood, but studies on animals suggest potential liver, kidney, and respiratory issues. MEK is not considered a carcinogen.
