Product overview

Built around the cleaning result

DARACLEAN 282 is a low-foam alkaline liquid all-purpose aerospace approved cleaner. It is multi-metal safe and effective in soak, agitation, and spray applications. DARACLEAN 282 Aqueous Alkaline Cleaner is especially formulated to be non-aggressive toward aluminum and zinc alloys. Designed specifically for aerospace and electronics applications, DARACLEAN 282 Aqueous Alkaline Cleaner has a unique self-cleaning ability that provides for long fluid life and vastly reduced disposal requirements.

Process development

Specify chemistry and equipment together

Cleaning performance depends on the complete process: chemistry, concentration, temperature, time, mechanical action, filtration, rinsing, drying and bath maintenance.

eChem can review representative parts and soils, identify the right starting point, and help validate the process before it is released to production.

Current documentation

TDS and SDS review

Always confirm the latest technical and safety data before use. Availability, packaging and regulatory status can change.

Manufacturer reference: eChem application support ↗

Application note: Final chemistry selection and operating parameters should be confirmed against the current TDS/SDS and tested on representative parts, soils and downstream requirements.

Build the right cleaning process

Share your materials, soils, throughput, equipment and cleanliness target. We’ll help narrow the chemistry and validate the process.
