Discover the process of passivation and its effectiveness in improving metal corrosion resistance. Understand how passivation prevents rust and enhances the longevity of metal surfaces in various applications.
A surface renovator is a type of cleaner that not only removes contaminants like dirt, grime, and grease but also restores surfaces to their original condition. It goes beyond routine cleaning by tackling embedded residues, stains, and buildup that regular cleaners may leave behind. In some cases, surface renovators also include protective agents to prevent future corrosion or damage.

Keeping an aircraft clean is an important aspect of its maintenance process. According to the FAA, “from an AMT’s viewpoint, it should be considered a regular part of aircraft maintenance.” While cleanliness does enhance the aircraft’s aesthetic appeal and inspires confidence in its quality, its primary importance lies in being the first line of defense against a major threat to the airframe: corrosion. Implementing a comprehensive cleaning routine is a simple yet effective method to degreasing landing gear. Here’s
Aviation Week MRO Asia Pacific 2024 took place from September 24-26, with the exhibition running on September 25-26. We’re excited to share that ORAPI participated once again in this year’s exhibition! Read on to discover more about the event and ORAPI’s involvement. What is Aviation MRO Asia-Pacific? Aviation Week’s MRO Asia-Pacific is an annual conference and exhibition dedicated to the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Part of the global Aviation Week Network, this event
Few things are more unsightly than finding grease smeared across your aircraft’s wings, especially on the flaps and ailerons. Beyond looking bad, it can also cause long-term damage to the paint finish. But where does all that grease come from? And is it purely a cosmetic issue, or could there be more serious consequences lurking behind the grime? Finally, what steps can you take to keep your wings grease-free? Let’s explore this grimy subject of wing components cleaning and uncover
Airplane toilets are among the most frequently used spaces on an aircraft and often experience high traffic, especially on long-haul flights, making them prone to rapid contamination. A clean lavatory enhances passenger satisfaction and helps prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses, contributing to the overall health and well-being of those on board. However, maintaining high standards of cleanliness poses several challenges, including limited space, time constraints between flights, and the need for effective cleaning solutions that meet strict aviation
This article discusses the benefits and techniques of aircraft exterior dry washing and polishing while highlighting its advantages. It also covers the use of specialized cleaning products and procedures required to conduct aircraft dry wash.
Penetrants, also known as penetrating oils or, fluids or release agents, are low-viscosity lubricants designed to penetrate and loosen tight, rusted, or corroded parts such as bolts and nuts. They work by seeping into microscopic gaps and crevices, breaking down rust and corrosion, and providing lubrication to reduce friction between metal parts.
Electrochemical corrosion is the deterioration of electronic devices due to chemical reactions with environmental factors such as moisture, high humidity, and corrosive gases. This corrosion can lead to malfunctions, increased maintenance costs, and safety risks in critical industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. Effective prevention requires regular maintenance and protective measures. Read on to learn more.
This article discusses the different types of corrosion that occur in water systems, their causes, and their impacts on system components such as pipes and equipment. We highlight the financial and operational consequences of corrosion, which include increased maintenance costs and system inefficiencies. We cover different types of corrosion, including under-deposit corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), and erosion corrosion. Lastly, we provide preventive measures to control corrosion.
