PL470 Rolls Royce engine overhaul kitDeveloped and manufactured for the purpose by Indestructible Paint Ltd., PL470 is a specialised dry film lubricant for aero engine "on-wing" maintenance, overhaul and repair work.
A special molybdenum disulphide based material, PL470 is part of a range of cleaning and application kits distributed by the company.
Each kit is designed to be used with a specific engine type and contains various cleaning and applicator pads, fan disc key slot masking clips and other items.
PL470 enables critical maintenance operations - the re-lubrication of fan blades and fan discs - to be carried-out "on apron." These are essential operations to reduce engine vibration and wear on these critical components.
Whenever blade roots require servicing or replacement, they can be removed from the hub, cleaned, re-lubricated and replaced or a new one slotted and locked into position.
This rapid 13 stage operation, facilitated by the contents of the kit, entails thorough cleaning to remove contamination and debris before the application of PL470 lubricant to the fan blade roots.
Because engine removal is no longer required, this process can take place between flights resulting in a very rapid turnaround - a key function that significantly reduces operating costs.
PL470 is currently used on a number of Rolls-Royce engines including: -
