Solvents, simply put, are substances capable of dissolving or extracting other substances. However, the range of solvents is diverse and some are better suited for certain industrial applications than others. For example, avionics assembly cleaning, which is a complex and delicate process, requires solvents with specific desirable characteristics.  

One solvent that is specifically designed for this process is Ecolink 4005 Non-Flammable Solvent. 

Why Avionics? 

Avionics is defined as a category of equipment and electronic systems designed for crafts capable of flight. A common material on aircraft is composites, which typically consist of tough resin matrix with strong fibers. Some examples of composite materials used in aviation include: 

• CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) 
• GFRP (glass-fiber-reinforced plastic) 
• MMC (metal matrix composites) 

It is extremely important that aviation components be regularly maintained, degreased and cleaned in order to prevent potential harm to both the vessel and the people managing it. An effective and safe solvent is needed to ensure the aircraft can be cleaned without damaging the materials.   

Why Ecolink 4005?  

Our industrial and eco-conscious product is capable of handling each essential avionics part, including motors, gears, and generators. In addition to its ability to clean both metals and nonmetals, it is designed to wash away several unwanted elements, like grease and stubborn dirt. 

Utilizing Ecolink 4005 provides many desirable benefits, including: 

• Non-flammable  
• No flash point 
• No ozone-depleting substances 
• Non-toxic 
• Low GWP 
• Compatible with metals, non-metals, and composites 
• Effective replacement for toxic solvents, such as nPB and TCE 

The non-flammability of the product is easily the most important characteristic in avionics assembly cleaning, as there are many potential ignition sources on aircraft, so it is important to prevent any harm to workers and the vessel by using a non-flammable substance.
