Thixotropic Low-Solvent, Non-Hap Wheel Well Cleaner

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cleaning composition for cleaning aircraft wheel wells. The cleaning composition broadly comprises from about 0.1 to about 15% of a D-limonene composition, containing less than 0.5% of a stabilizing anti-oxidant, acting as a solvent for said greasy soils, from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of a material for increasing the flash point of said cleaning composition above 140 deg F, such as an isoparrafinic hydrocarbon solvent, from about 10% to about 50% of a mixture of linear alcohol ethoxylates having a HLB in the range of 2 to 15 as a stabilizer, and the balance water. The cleaning composition may also contain from 0.1% to about 10% capryolamphopropionate, from about 0.1% to about 15% dipropylene glycol, from about 0.1% to about 5.0% benzotriazole, and 0.1% to about 5.0% sodium bicarbonate.
