T-70
T-70 Cleaner is an aqueous, amine based formulation sprayed into the engine as a fine mist (approximately 500 micron SMD). The droplets migrate with the airflow and are deposited as a surface active layer on contaminated components. The wet liquid combines chemically with the surface contaminants which undergo a molecular change. The chemical action is accelerated by the thermal environment and the contaminants are gradually reduced to a fine white fly ash that is ejected with exhaust gases. The unique, amine-based formulation can remain in a wet state at temperatures approaching 350°F. For that reason, T-70 has a residence time vastly exceeding solvent-based products.
