As each individual part of the aircraft has its own role to play in ensuring the aircraft meets
exacting standards, this means that each part must be properly maintained, cleaned, tested, and ultimately replaced at regular intervals.
Selecting the right solvents and cleaning utensils plays another major role in the strict procedures that govern parts cleaning in the aviation industry. This is because using the wrong solvents can result in the degrading, wear or etching of the parts, which in turn can lead to their early demise and/or, in some cases, be detrimental to the aircraft as a whole.
Unlike other cleaning procedures, in the aviation industry this task can be much more complex and demanding as the consequences and risks involved can be mountainous.
