ELEVANCE CLEAN® – TRANSPORTATION MRO
Cleaning is a critical step preceding the scheduled
maintenance and unscheduled repairs that keep
commercial fl eets in service. Maintaining semi-truck,
rail car, locomotive, automobile and aircraft fl eets
requires cleaning products that deliver a high degree
of performance and effi ciency for both in-fi eld and
in-shop uses. This is not a trivial task, as many
soils have been exposed to high temperatures over
extended periods of time, making parts and other
surfaces especially resistant to cleaning.
At the same time, increasing regulations on the
volatile organic compound (VOC) content in formulated
cleaning products have made cleaning even more
diffi cult. Restrictions on the use of traditional
ingredients, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and
d-limonene, represent another hurdle to achieving
acceptable cleaning performance. The improved
safety profi le of Elevance Clean® ingredients gives
you the ability to develop products that meet your
customers’ most challenging cleaning needs.
