DuPont Introduces Sontara AC, the First Sontara Wipe Engineered for Aviation's Critical Cleaning Specifications.OLD HICKORY Hickory, city, United States Hickory, city (1990 pop. 28,301), Burke and Catawba counties, W N.C., at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mts.; inc. 1870. It is a processing and trade center for an abundant agricultural region (grain, soybeans, poultry, hogs, , Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 1999-- Lint and ragmarks may soon be distant memories. From the installation of a windshield to the painting of an empenage, aviation maintenance technicians and manufacturers have a new choice in cleaning tools: DuPont Sontara(R) AC(TM). The first wipe (1) To completely erase data from memory or the hard disk. See file wipe. (2) A digital video effect that places one image over another. Although there are a myriad varieties, the classic wipe is a scene transition where the next scene slides horizontally or made of DuPont Sontara(R) brand spunlaced fabric developed especially for use in aviation maintenance, Sontara(R) AC(TM) (Aviation Cloth) is an all-new wipe made from a special combination of wood pulp wood pulp: see paper. and polyester fibers Noun 1. polyester fiber - a quick-drying resilient synthetic fiber consisting primarily of polyester polyester - any of numerous synthetic resins; they are light and strong and weather resistant using the spunlacing production process invented by DuPont.

Each wipe also comes out of the box completely clean, at a consistent size, and there are no buttons, zippers or seams that you often get with rags. More importantly for premier aircraft facilities, Sontara(R) AC(TM) leaves behind less lint than even other Sontara(R) wiping products, so it can be used safely in most sensitive cleaning processes. Working closely with DuPont over a period of many months, Bombardier Aerospace Bombardier Aerospace is a division of the Bombardier group, with the third largest workforce (behind Boeing and Airbus) and the fourth largest in yearly delivery of commercial airplanes (behind Boeing, Airbus and Embraer). contributed greatly to the development of Sontara(R) AC(TM). At its Wichita site - where Learjets are built and other Bombardier aircraft are serviced and test flown - Bombardier Aerospace rigorously tested other Sontara(R) wiping products under working conditions and helped to develop a list of very specific needs in an aviation wipe. The combined effort led DuPont engineers to design the wipe which became known as Sontara(R) AC(TM). "Working with people involved in aviation every day really helped DuPont to design Sontara(R) AC(TM) to meet the highest standards set by the aviation industry," said Susan Henshaw, market manager for Sontara(R) Technologies. "It's more than a wipe, it's a solution to their specific problems." Founded in 1802, DuPont is a global science and technology-based company.
