Kimberly-Clark Professional, one of three business sectors of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, participated at the 21st annual MRO Americas conference and exhibition, held on April 5 - 7, 2016 in Dallas, Texas. Kimberly-Clark Professional, presented its innovative solutions for the aerospace maintenance industry, according to the press release.

An array of wiping and personal protection products, like Kimtech and WypAll FOD prevention wipes designed to address the specific needs of foreign object damage (FOD) prevention was demonstrated by Kimberly-Clark Professional at the event. FOD in the form of aircraft damage, rework, injuries and overprocessing waste, costs the aerospace industry billions annually.

“Kimtech and WypAll FOD prevention solutions are designed to protect critical aircraft manufacturing and maintenance processes by reducing the risk of micro or macro consumable FOD events. Workplace implementation of these solutions will result in better overall process or cost control and help OEMs and MROs energize their existing FOD prevention programs,” said Stephen Burn, global aerospace marketing leader, Kimberly-Clark Professional.

Kimtech A2 aviation wipes have ultra-low-lint properties that reduces the time required for wipe-on, wipe-off cleaning, and lessens the remaining contaminants that contribute to FOD.  

The WypAll X80 FOD prevention wipe, has been designed for heavy-duty cleaning tasks and contains an optical brightener that glows under UV light, making it easier to detect when left behind in dark spaces such as aircraft fuel tanks or wheel wells. (NA)
