Description
Extreme Simple Green, Simple Greens new aircraft and precision cleaning product, cuts through tough, built up grease, oil, dirt, pollution, insect residue and impact soils. it causes no harm to aircraft structural metals, plastics, paints, or coatings. Extreme Simple Green gets its superior cleaning from a unique triple play cleaning formula. 2 High performance surfactants and a new generation grease lifter/cutter combine to get the soil away from the aircraft surface quickly and then keep it away so that it can be cleanly rinsed away. Extreme Simple Greens speed of grease cutting and its high capacity to hold grease, oil and soils in solution during cleaning and rinsing time are the keys to performance. This equals fast cleaning and no-redeposition, but extreme Simple Green is also able to go into oil/water separators and have oil break from solution. Extreme Simple Greens safety upon aircraft materials and precision cleaning surfaces comes from a combination of proven anti-corrosion agents. A time tested coupling agent allows these to work together to battle corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement. These same qualities make extreme Simple Green safe to put through pressure washing equipment, rack wash systems, dip tanks and parts washers, without any equipment damage. The components of extreme Simple Green are all low-toxicity compounds and the product contains no solvents. This leads to an excellent workers safety environment. All of the components are biodegradable, so extreme Simple Green wont accumulate in the environment and rinse-waste can be handled by standard waste water treatment methods.
