Fairchild/Dornier C-26 Metroliner: Aircraft Hydraulic Cylinder Wipes

StrutWipe is a specialized cleaning solution that effectively cleans and lubricates chrome surfaces on various aircraft components, including oleo struts, propellers, drive chains, and hydraulic pistons.

StrutWipe wipes are constructed from 100% recycled, nonwoven cotton cloth. They are finished without the use of starch, binders, or other additives, resulting in a soft, lint-free, and static-free material with exceptional dirt-trapping capabilities.

Each StrutWipe cleaning wipe is fully saturated with either MIL-PRF-5606 or MIL-PRF-83282 hydraulic fluid. Please consult your aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) to see which type of fluid your landing gear struts are serviced with and choose the appropriate StrutWipe accordingly.

No. StrutWipe is designed to leave a smooth, polished surface without any residue. This is due to the lint-free and static-free properties of the wipes.

StrutWipe cleaning wipes are capable of capturing particles as small as 5 microns, ensuring a thorough and effective cleaning process.

No. StrutWipe cleaning wipes will not drip when used. Each wipe is manufactured with pharmaceutical-grade equipment and pre-saturated with hydraulic fluid, preventing excess fluid from dripping.

StrutWipe offers a more efficient and cost-effective cleaning method compared to using a rag and a can of oil. By preventing oil waste and contamination, StrutWipe helps reduce operating costs.

StrutWipe wipes are primarily designed for use on aircraft components that come into contact with hydraulic fluid. Using them on other surfaces may not yield the desired results.

StrutWipe cleaning wipes should be stored in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Proper storage helps preserve the fluid content and maintain the product’s effectiveness. It will also prevent the wipes from drying out or becoming contaminated.

SkyMark is suitable for cleaning and lubricating seals and other hydraulic components made with butyl rubber or ethylene-propylene elastomers.

SkyMark cleaning wipes are pre-saturated with phosphate ester hydraulic fluid. They are compatible with Skydrol or HyJet Type IV and V fluids.

Yes! The Boeing Company has endorsed SkyMark as an acceptable method for cleaning and lubricating phosphate ester hydraulic components.

While a standard package contains 1,000 individually wrapped wipes, StrutWipe cleaning wipes can be ordered in any quantity you desire. However, you may save on shipping costs by ordering in larger quantities.
