Proven Products For The Warehouse and Distribution Industry
The sum total of warehousing and distribution centers (DCs) has grown exponentially in recent years due to a massive surge in online sales and consumer expectations for quick access to products. Businesses need more space in more locations, and systems to meet the increased demand. In fact, by 2025, the number of worldwide warehouses is expected to reach nearly 180,000. Retailers, distributors, warehouses, fulfillment and logistics operations are rapidly working to build new facilities and modernize existing ones through ongoing investment. In all cases, regular maintenance will be a key to success.

Warehouses and DCs are buzzing with moving equipment, modular apparatus and high-tech systems that require ongoing maintenance, assembly and disassembly, including:
- Shelving and racking systems
- Forklifts, pallet jacks and carts
- Cranes and lifts
- Conveyors and monorails
- Climate control systems
- Ramps and liftgates
The Right Tools For The Job
As warehouse and distribution centers are built and/or modernized, safety and efficiency are top concerns. Routine maintenance is crucial. The lack of which can result in reduced productivity and increased workplace injuries, product damage, customer complaints and financial losses. Maintenance technicians need to count on proven tools to perform their work quickly and effectively. That’s where Kano, the makers of Kroil, comes in. The pros regularly turn to the following Kano products to save time, money and equipment, and keep their facilities safe and profitable:
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.
