Non-Solvent, General Use Exterior Aircraft Cleaner

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cleaning composition having utility in cleaning aircraft exterior surfaces. The cleaning composition comprises from about 15% to about 40% of a mixture of linear alcohol ethoxylates having a HLB in the range of about 5.0 to about 15.0, from about 5% to about 25% capric diethanolamide, and the balance water. The mixture of linear alcohol ethoxylates comprises from about 5% to about 15% of a first linear alcohol ethoxylate having a HLB in the range of about 5.0 to 9.5 and from about 10% to about 25% of a second linear alcohol ethoxylate having a HLB in the range of about 10 to 15. The cleaning composition also includes from about 0.1% to about 5% of capryloamphopropionate, from about 0.1% to about 5.0% benzotriazole, from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of an inhibitor for reducing corrosion of magnesium parts, and from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of an inhibitor for reducing corrosion of cadmium plated steel parts.
