AXAREL 2000 MIL-PRF-680 Type II Precision Cleaner – 5 Gallon Pail for Aerospace Degreasing

AXAREL 2000 is a precision cleaning solvent qualified to MIL-PRF-680 Type II — the U.S. military specification for cleaning and degreasing solvents used on precision aerospace components, bearings, mechanisms, and hardware where thorough oil and grease removal is required without leaving residue that could interfere with lubrication reapplication, precision tolerances, or optical or electrical performance of the cleaned component. MIL-PRF-680 is one of the most widely specified military solvent cleaning specifications in aerospace and defense maintenance, used for degreasing components before inspection, coating, assembly, and service.

The 5 gallon pail provides production-scale supply for immersion cleaning tanks, vapor degreasing systems, and ultrasonic cleaning operations at aerospace maintenance facilities, overhaul shops, and precision parts cleaning stations where large volumes of MIL-PRF-680 qualified solvent are consumed daily. AXAREL 2000’s qualification to the Type II performance category ensures compliance with the solvent’s evaporation rate, residue levels, and cleaning effectiveness requirements defined in the military specification.

MIL-PRF-680 Type II is a high-flash-point, low-toxicity alternative to older stoddard solvent and mineral spirits cleaners — providing effective degreasing capability in a lower-hazard solvent with improved worker safety profile compared to the high-volatility, lower-flash-point solvents previously used for precision component cleaning in aerospace maintenance.

Technical Information

AXAREL 2000 MIL-PRF-680 Type II is a petroleum-based degreasing solvent in the higher flash point, lower aromatic content category defined by Type II of the MIL-PRF-680 specification. The Type II designation distinguishes it from Type I (lower flash point, higher volatility) and Type III (very high flash point, very low volatility) within the MIL-PRF-680 family — Type II provides a practical balance of cleaning speed, evaporation rate, and safety profile for the majority of precision aerospace component cleaning applications.

MIL-PRF-680 qualified solvents are tested for residue levels per evaporation — the solvent must evaporate completely, leaving no measurable solid residue on the cleaned surface. This zero-residue requirement is essential for precision cleaning of aerospace bearings, instrument mechanisms, optical components, and electrical contacts where any solvent residue could interfere with the function of the component or the application of lubricants and protective treatments after cleaning.

Handle and store AXAREL 2000 per the SDS and applicable flammable liquid storage regulations. Despite the improved flash point of Type II compared to Type I, petroleum-based cleaning solvents still require proper ventilation, grounding to prevent static discharge, and fire safety measures during use in production cleaning operations.

Applications

AXAREL 2000 is used for precision cleaning of aerospace bearings, instrument mechanisms, precision hardware, fasteners, and aerospace components requiring MIL-PRF-680 qualified solvent degreasing before inspection, assembly, and coating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is AXAREL 2000 MIL-PRF-680?
A: AXAREL 2000 is a MIL-PRF-680 Type II precision cleaning solvent for aerospace component degreasing — removing oils and greases from precision parts without leaving residue, in a higher flash point formulation for improved safety.

Q: MPN for AXAREL 2000 5 gallon?
A: MPN is 10200307.

Q: What is MIL-PRF-680 Type II?
A: MIL-PRF-680 is the U.S. military specification for cleaning and degreasing solvents. Type II specifies a higher flash point, lower aromatic content formulation that balances cleaning performance with improved safety vs. Type I.

Q: What does zero residue mean for precision cleaning?
A: Zero residue means the solvent evaporates completely, leaving no measurable solid film on the cleaned surface — essential for precision bearings, instruments, and contacts where any residue would affect function.

Q: What cleaning systems can AXAREL 2000 be used in?
A: Immersion tanks, spray wash systems, ultrasonic cleaning, wipe cleaning, and vapor degreasing where applicable. Refer to the product SDS for system compatibility and safety requirements.
