APPLICATION BULLETIN|Elevance Clean® | Transportation MRO

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.
