Bacoban for Aerospace keeps on delivering!

During the Covid Pandemic Bacoban for Aerospace became a fully approved Aerospace Disinfectant providing Airlines and aircraft operators with the solution to reduce the risk of to passengers. As Covid infections are now under control, aircraft disinfection has reduced considerably. This is possibly a mistake as threats continue from other sources, new variations and viruses being reported alongside the existing strains. Some examples: Step A,  Ebola, Zika, Langya, Monkeypox, Marburg,  and simple flu are amongst the many viruses which circulate the globe. Reducing disinfection in confined spaces is as important now as it was at the outbreak of Covid, disinfection reduces the spread of viruses and bacteria.

Bacoban for Aerospace has continually been tested in laboratories in EU to show how using it as a disinfectant will offer greater benefits when compared to standard disinfectants. Some recent tests have shown that Bacoban for Aerospace now offers:

  • 365 days surface protection,
  • Resistant to abrasion (dry),
  • Effective within a minute,
  • Destroys bedbugs.

The R&D laboratories continue to show how Bacoban for Aerospace offers a complete package of protective measures for aircraft while remaining approved by all aircraft manufacturers.

Is your disinfectant this good?

Even after 2000 abrasion rub cycles, Bacoban for Aerospace has an excellent residual effect according to ASTM E 2180

Bacoban for Aerospace achieves another milestone  having passed an industry standard abrasion test. The test utilises a BYK Gardner scrub mounted with an ISO-Holder  with a 135 gm weight. This test apparatus is used with ASTM D 2486, ISO 11998, DIN 53778 recognised in multiple industries around the world.

The purpose of the test is to determine the abrasion resistance of a coating simulating wipe downs, scrubbing, wiping etc with a standardised test method.

The test panels were treated in the usual way when disinfecting surfaces with Bacoban for Aerospace. The sample was allowed to dry before testing commences. When the test begins, a specific fabric type is used with a specific weight to simulate surface pressure to mimic the surface being wiped with a cloth. This is repeated, in this case to 2000 wipes. Th test panel is then tested for a the effectiveness against bacteria and viruses (Ecoli and S.aurens). Bacoban for Aerospace was found to have an effectiveness of 99.99% or Log 4 kill rate.

Bacoban for Aerospace continues to be the optimum cabin disinfectant for aircraft.

 

 

NuPower II Dry Wash, continues to be the one to beat when cleaning and polishing aircraft.

aircraft cleaning with NuPower

NuPower II Waterless Dry-Wash, wipe on, wipe off. This is the easiest in-place dry wash clean and polish -with U/V protectant you’ve ever used!

  • Removes all types of soils: dirt, carbon, lubricants, de-icing fluid etc
  • Removes surface faded paint and oxidation.
  • Leaved glossy smooth finish.
  • Preserves surface from further oxidation.
  • Protects paint from UV and atmospheric corrosion without colour change.
  • Resists re-soiling of dirt and oil.

Aircraft washing or cleaning is a regular, necessary operation required by airlines and operators to maintain appearance, improve drag saving fuel, weight witch increases fuel burn and reduces corrosion of the aircraft. Traditionally, aircraft cleaning was performed by spraying surfactant or cleaning chemicals onto the surface of the aircraft. The dirt would be removed from the surface by agitating the aircraft cleaning chemicals and the dirt or oils on the surface. The final stage would he washing off this liquid with water, allowing the waste to flow into the rainwater drainage system. Unfortunately, heavy metals such as Cadmium which was found to be above 2.5 milligrams per litre of wastewater. The result was to move away from ‘wet washing’ to ‘dry washing’ where no water and waste is allowed to enter the rainwater drainage systems at airports. NuPower II was developed to allow easy cleaning of aircraft surfaces while improving the finish, reducing drag and extending the life of the aircraft paint. The net result is that dry washing offers multiple benefits to the aircraft operators.

NuPower II is approved by a umber of airlines including Air Canada, Allegiant, American, Avianca, Delta, Frontier, Jazz, Jetblue, Jet2, Southwest, United, Lufthansa, Asiana, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, COMAC, Korean Airlines, Singapore, FedEx, Corendon, Africa World Airlines, Airlink, Croatia Airlines, Lot, Portugalia Airlines,

Want to get hands on with the Project Able aircraft this weekend? Volunteer at Project Clean!

With only a few days to go until the big clean, we are still looking for volunteers to assist us over the weekend of 10th/11th September at RAF Little Rissington.

We need volunteers to help move the Project Able aircraft outside the hangar and to clean it. Regular cleaning is vital to ensure the condition of the aircraft is maintained.

Thanks to our friends at Frasers Aerospace we have the very best cleaning materials to help with the task. Once cleaned, the aircraft will be returned to the hangar and covered to minimise further deterioration. Refreshments and sandwich lunch will be provided.

Frasers Aerospace will be exhibiting at this years MRO Show at London’s EXCEL Exhibition centre.
