Proven Products For The Manufacturing Industry
Corrosion is a common issue faced by manufacturers and industrial infrastructures, and it has been estimated that corrosion alone costs the U.S. economy over $500 billion per year. In addition to the direct cost of repairing and replacing corroded machinery, there are many indirect costs, including productivity loss, environmental damage and safety issues. Much of the corrosion mitigation effort comes down to maintenance. Regular maintenance is imperative in the manufacturing industry, where machines and equipment generally operate 24/7.

The Right Tools For The Job
By keeping machines well-maintained, manufacturers can combat corrosion, avoid costly downtime, improve safety and extend the lifespan of their equipment. That’s where Kano, the makers of Kroil, comes in. Kano products have been used in the manufacturing industry for decades to help service and maintenance professionals keep machinery running and factories producing. They regularly turn to the following products to save time, money and equipment:
Kroil Original Penetrant
When it comes to freeing corroded items in tough spaces, nothing rivals powerful, industry-proven Kroil penetrating oil. Kroil quickly loosens rusted nuts and bolts, frees frozen shafts, pulleys, conveyors and more. No space is too tight to reach, thanks to Kroil’s ability to penetrate the smallest opening, thread or crevice. Corrosion meets its match, as Kroil helps remove and prevent rust, cleans and lubricates, and displaces moisture.
Silikroil, Kroil Penetrant with Silicone
SiliKroil has been engineered to loosen frozen metal parts and provide extra lubrication for long-lasting protection. The addition of silicone to the legendary Kroil formula results in superior penetration, lubrication and rust prevention. This high solvency oil first penetrates into the tightest of spaces to break the bond of rust, and then provides lubrication at the first molecular level, subsequently freeing virtually any metal part.
Penephite, Kroil Penetrant with Graphite
Penephite is a unique blend of oils, solvents and graphite engineered to penetrate the smallest gaps of corroded metals to loosen seized parts. The graphite is designed to stick to metal and provide long lasting lubrication, which will remain in place even in temperatures up to 700°F (371°C).
Floway
Floway contains a powerful grease-cutting solvent that penetrates, dissolves and removes grease, tar, ink, asphalt, oil, dirt, crud, grime, carbon and gunk. It’s excellent for cleaning greasy equipment, motors, machinery, parts, tools and more. It washes off easily and will not attack painted surfaces.
Exrust
Exrust penetrates and chemically reacts with rust to quickly remove it from all surfaces. It is effective on all ferrous metals without harming the base steel or iron*. After treatment, any type of finish can be applied.
*Do not use Exrust on non-ferrous metals.
Pyrolube
Pyrolube provides superior, long-lasting lubrication at temperatures up to 1359° F (700°C). It leaves a smooth, graphoid-lubricated surface, and will not drip or form abrasive particles. It also reduces wear by preventing metal-to-metal contact.
Microil
Microil lubricates bearings and mechanisms in precision instruments, gauges, meters, clocks, micrometers, counters, controls, light machinery and other small mechanisms. Its low viscosity, low evaporation formula lubricates to -50° F. It is non-corrosive, and will not gum.
Kreen
Kreen is used to help keep fleet vehicles of all kinds running smoothly. It dissolves sludge, gum and varnish in gas and diesel engines, and softens and removes excess carbon from around valve stems and piston grooves. It also thoroughly cleans the entire crankcase, injectors and oil lines.
