Technology Description of Corrosion- Inhibited Mildew Remover (NAVCLEAN DRY) • Mildew growth is widespread on interior surfaces of rotary wing aircraft due to their humid and wet operating environment. Mildew buildup is also a health hazard to pilots and maintenance personnel. • The use of unauthorized cleaning solutions, such as household chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite), can induce corrosion damage to critical metallic surfaces. • NAVCLEAN DRY meets all NAVAIR’s corrosion and mildew cleaning requirements. • To classify NAVCLEAN DRY as a fungicide/mildewcide product, it must be registered at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requirements.
