Kimberly Clark & Eastman partner on aviation sector

Kimberly Clark Professional, a division of Kimberly Clark Corporation, today announced a strategic collaboration with Eastman Aviation Solutions, a division of Eastman Chemical Company.

The partnership will support aviation original equipment manufacturers; maintenance, repair and overhaul workplaces.

It also includes component suppliers who use consumable products and chemicals in critical manufacturing and return-to-service tasks.

“This collaboration will enable both companies to deliver innovative, task-critical solutions to aviation customers around the world,” a press release informed.

Kimberly-Clark Professional will develop personal protective equipment specifically designed for use with products supplied by Eastman Aviation Solutions.

It added, “Along with future innovations that make chemical application as part of surface preparation and maintenance servicing tasks more efficient.”

The relationship between the two companies is timely given the recent launch of the Jackson Safety G29 Solvent Protection Glove from Kimberly-Clark Professional.

This glove offers workers a greater level of protection, increased dexterity, and extended chemical holdup times relative to other hand protection products on the market.

It was designed to provide increased protection for aviation workers using products that may cause skin irritation such as solvents, hydraulic fluids or turbine oils.

Eastman, the makers of Eastman Skydrol aviation hydraulic fluids, and Eastman Turbo Oil aviation oils, recently trialed the Jackson Safety G29 Solvent Glove and made its use an integral part of routine product manufacturing.

"We are excited to expand our existing aviation product portfolio to support chemicals already used as part of routine critical tasks,” said Stephen Burn, global aviation market leader at Kimberly-Clark Professional.

He added, “Working with Eastman Aviation enables us to offer our aviation customers solutions to perform their most critical tasks with confidence and the protective solutions needed to stay safe on the job.” (AR)
