Research abstract
Solugen is developing a VOC-free and high-performance aerospace cleaner specifically designed for immersion and spray-in-air cleaning processes for aluminum alloys and substrates. This cleaner will utilize our corn-derived BioChelate TM Pro molecule that acts as a corrosion inhibitor. Further, BioChelate™ Pro-powered cleaner will enhance the performance of traditional chrome-free conversion coatings through a reduction of defects associated with hydrogen embrittlement and aluminum staining. Solugen’s BioChelate TM Pro is non-VOC, non-carcinogenic, readily biodegradable, and non-toxic.
