Consumable Disinfection Materials
A phosphorous free cleaning agent, this disinfectant works to clean and disinfect aircraft interiors and remove odors. It meets the requirements AMS 1452, AMS 1530, AMS 1453, AMS 1550, Boeing D6-7127, and D6-17487. Over prolonged use, it does not diminish the quality of finishes or painted surfaces. It works on most non-porous surfaces, including glazed ceramic and porcelain, plastic, metal, and stainless steel.
The cleaning agent, if properly diluted, can be applied daily with a cloth, sponge, or sprayer. To properly dilute the solution, there should be 4 ounces of CALLA 1452 for every one gallon of water. For complete disinfection, the solution should be left on surfaces for ten minutes before being wiped off.
Recommended PPE equipment when handling CALLA 1452 includes disposable gloves, a surgical mask, eye protection or face shield, shoe covers, and a disposable waterproof gown.
