Boeing Approves New Zip-Chem Products Material for Bird Strike Clean Up on 7/10/2006: Boeing has just completed the testing of a new product, Calla 7127, for D6- 17487 materials compatibility. Boeing found Calla 7127 to be compatible with the airplane aluminum exterior when the product is in a diluted form, 3.5 ounces per 4.5 gallons of water (0.73 ounces per gallon). The product is being marketed by Zip-Chem Products. When cleaning the external aircraft surfaces to remove bird strike residue, cleansing agents and disinfectants qualified to the ref /B/ document are recommended. Boeing does not test any product for substance efficacy against disease agents. Boeing recommends airline operators contact the World Health Organization (WHO), product manufacturers, government agencies, or local health agencies for product efficacy. However, the WHO website, http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/, recommends the use of Virkon, a material that corrodes aluminum. Boeing strongly recommends that operators not use this product.Please contact Jason Smith, Zip-Chem Products, Technical Support, (425) 745-2165 for availability information.; Boeing Bird Strike Letter
