ARDROX 6367

PRIMARY APPLICATION

Ardrox 6367 is a liquid alkaline product formulated to clean the compressor sections of gas turbine engines. A blend of detergents, it is solvent free and removes atmospheric soils, oils, carbon and salt deposits during `in-situ´ hot-fired and cold motor washes. Ardrox 6367 is safe on all aircraft metal, plastics, windows, etc., and is non-flammable and biodegradable. In addition, it contains an inhibitor which protects the engine components from oxidation and corrosion for up to 3 days. Regular cleaning with Ardrox 6367 helps maintain peak engine efficiency and reduces maintenance and fuel cost. Ardrox 6367 is compatible with recognized antifreeze materials used during cold weather cleaning.
