AMS3819 Approved Wipe Solutions

Users have a variety of options available to their disposal with aerospace cleaning needs. We have discussed ways to reduce costs through safer degreasing chemicals. Another alternative to consider is the use of presaturated wipes. However, not all wipes are the same, and depending on the application, you may be required to use an AMS Approved wipe.

AMS3819 is a specification owned and administered by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Originally issued in 1987, and subsequently updated to its latest revision (Rev D) in 2020, this approval governs woven and nonwoven absorbent cloths for cleaning primary and secondary structural surfaces on aircraft.

Buying a wipe product approved or tested to the AMS3819 specification assures the user that the product conforms to requirements covering surface contamination, and is safe to use on both general and critical aircraft surfaces.
