BASF CHEMETALL® ARDROX®...
CHEMETALL® is the brand for the Surface Treatment global business unit of BASF's Coatings division & a leading supplier of applied surface treatment technologies for metal, plastic & glass substrates. CHEMETALL® ARDROX® brand is the leading brand for aerospace surface solutions including paint and scale removers, exterior aircraft & gas turbine engine compressor cleaners, corrosion inhibiting and non-destructive testing protective compounds for both aircraft and aero engines and materials.
CHEMETALL® ARDROX® Corrosion Inhibiting Compounds' (CIC) range includes AV 8, AV 15 (aka DINITROL AV15), general purpose AV 25, the most versatile AV 30 and AV 40. They are water displacing, long-term corrosion inhibitors highly penetrating areas exposed to severe corrosion conditions and combining good penetration properties with excellent corrosion inhibiting characteristics and a low applied film weight. Their viscosity is optimized to ensure an effective protective coating and promote penetration into otherwise inaccessible areas of the airframe. Applied as a coating to protect metals in airframe structures, on painted and unpainted surfaces, and in aerospace components to safeguard metals from corrosion. In areas exposed to severe corrosion conditions AV 8 should be overcoated with AV 100D - a heavy duty, waxy, firm film CIC.
CHEMETALL ARDROX® CIC are offered in different packaging options and comply with different specifications including Boeing BMS, MIL-PRF-16173, McDonnell Douglas DMS, Airbus AIMS and others. They are classified as HAZMAT Hazardous Materials UN Number: UN1139 - UN Class: 3.
CHEMETALL ARDROX® 3140 Corrosion Preventative contains film forming agents, antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors in a refined hydrocarbon solvent base. Provides long term protection for raw materials, sub-assemblies and finished components, which are to be stored or used in corrosive environments.
CHEMETALL ARDROX® 6367 Turbine Engine Cleaner is a liquid concentrate which consists of an aqueous blend of biodegradable surfactants and corrosion inhibitors formulated to clean the compressor sections of gas turbine engines. It is solvent free and removes deposits, oils and their oxidation products in the compressor area. Contains corrosion inhibitors providing protection against corrosion for up to 3 days during engine standstill times. Does not contain any EDTA, NTA or their salts. 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. Approved for use in a range of turbine engines including CFM56 CP5060 , GE SPM 70-80-04, Ref. C04-140, P&W SPM 70-12-00, SPMC 87-10A, Rolls Royce CSS 260 and others. Offered in different packaging options including 25-liter pails and 55 USG drums.
