The Environmentally friendly nature of Airglide products.

Airglide has tried strenuously with its product range to keep the environment at the centre stage of its development and product range.

In Aviation the industry is introducing a whole range of measures to save fuel and the environmental consequences of burning it. An example is that aircraft are becoming lighter with the adoption of composite technology with these materials in some cases now contributing to 50% of the aircraft weight.

At Airglide we have sought to introduce a product that makes the aircraft slip through the air more easily. Airglide’s Aviation Shield reduces surface friction on a treated area of an aircraft by 42% and thus significant fuel savings can be made.

We can clean an aircraft prior to treatment with our pH neutral foam wash so no worries about draining away the product after application.

Our step 1 dry clean has done away with the need for the common practice of cleaning with oxalyic acid based washes that our competitors use.

Our step 2 sealant  is applied very sparingly and after polishing there is only something of less than 1KG weight of product left on the aircraft. So no unfriendly weight gain.

Green issues

On cars the processes are similar, our foam wash does not generate dirty detergent or acidic run off. Cars do not have to be washed as frequently and in many instances water usage is significantly reduced .
