frequently asked questions

Our cleaning solutions are engineered to satisfy rigorous aerospace specifications, including the widely adopted Water-Break-Free (Boeing BAC 5749) standard, as well as particle count protocols like IEST-1246. Systems can be tailored to meet OEM-specific or regulatory benchmarks such as NADCAP, FAA, or EASA cleanliness requirements

Depending on the part material and contamination type, we offer versatile methodologies:

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to remove contaminants from intricate geometries with precision. Effective for engine parts, fuel injectors, and electronic components. 
  • Tunnel washers
  • Parts Washer Cabinets
  • Return-to-Operator Systems 
  • Rotary Basket Washers

Cleanliness is confirmed through multiple methods:

  • Water-Break Test: A qualitative surface assessment that shows whether hydrophilic contaminants remain. 
  • Residue & Particle Counting (Gravimetric Analysis): Quantitative evaluation via lab analysis or in-line monitoring to ensure compliance with specifications such as IEST-1246.
  • Traceability & Documentation: Comprehensive logging of cleaning cycles, chemistry usage, and batch validation for audit and quality records.

Absolutely. Our cleaning systems are engineered for aerospace-grade materials such as aluminum, titanium, high-temperature alloys, and advanced composites.
