Corrosion Preserve and protect what you can't see by determining if unknown insidious corrosion is eating your aircraft. This byproduct of corrosion is dry and powdery and has no strength.
Corrosion is more prevalent in coastal areas, but it can be started by other processes.
Improperly neutralized paint stripper from a previous paint job started the corrosion. Both products are sprayed from an atomizer inside the aircraft access panels and penetrate through any oxidation, displacing moisture and neutralizing or removing the corrosion-causing electrolyte. Lear Chemical and Corrosion X will spray your aircraft or sell specialized pumps and spray for the operator who wants to perform its own corrosion control. The right time to spray is during an inspection when the aircraft access panels are opened. Move a soft bristle brush through the soapsuds of the solution and gently agitate the material.
