NAVCLEAN

NAWCAD has developed and successfully tested a formulation of three components for use in removing and inhibiting mildew and fungus growth on military aircraft structures. This patented kit (shown in Figure 1) and formulation has passed evaluation requirements on selected tests in regard to MIL-PRF-85570D and ADS-61A-PRF-2002 specifications. The formula that was developed, not only very effectively cleans and removes the mildew and fungus, but also inhibits future growth and passivates metal surfaces to help prevent corrosion. The kit consists of three components which are pre-measured and sealed in three plastic containers which are stacked and sealed in a plastic tube. The individual components and the final mixture are non toxic with no strong unpleasant odor. It is easy to mix and apply. For maximum effectiveness, the solution can be used up to 24 hours from when the solution was made. The solution, which provides a non-corrosive and non-toxic remedy to eliminating mildew and mold, has been successfully tested on a number of different surfaces including aluminum alloys, steel, painted surfaces, plastic, and polyimide wire insulation. Summary of Benefits Cost effective formulation from commercially available chemicals; Extremely effective in removal and prevention of mold and mildew; Non-corrosive to cleaning surfaces, particularly metals; Environmentally friendly; Unlike bleach, the most commonly used mold cleaner, Navclean is not caustic and has no odor.
