Alglas was founded by Alan O'Nions in 1986, who trained as a private pilot with BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). With a background in architectural glass and aluminium, Alan identified a need for aviation approved cleaning products, providing safe and effective cleaners for glass, acrylic, and other aircraft substrates.
Alglas AGC/22 Aircraft Glass Cleaner was the first product to launch which was submitted to BAe Military Aircraft Division for approval. Subsequently AGC/22 has received approvals from Boeing, Airbus, The Thales Group, Panasonic and many other OEMs. In addition, Alglas aviation approved cleaning products carry NATO Stock Numbers and have been tested to strict military specifications, including approvals by British Aerospace and MacDonnell Douglas for use on cockpit transparencies and instrumentation.
As Alglas grew as a company more aerospace cleaning products were added to the range, including the industry-first twin wet-and-dry anti-static instrument wipe, the ALG/CR215. The ALG/RCBA anti-bacterial sanitiser allowed the cleaning of all airborne electronics and avionics and the Visial VDU anti-static mist spray reduced static build-up across system displays, radars and touch screens.
