Proven Products For The Oil & Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry is subject to myriad global and national constraints ranging from continuously fluctuating prices to strict regulatory monitoring. These organizations must constantly adapt to these restrictions, along with ongoing demand changes. One supporting function in particular can have a direct impact on operations, and potentially bring an entire venture to a standstill if not well managed: maintenance. Oil industry assets are complex, expensive and constantly exposed to the elements, requiring highly-trained specialists to manage replacements and repairs.

Maintenance ineffectiveness, especially of critical assets, can - and does - result in significant financial losses and other risks, including:
- Accelerated asset depreciation
- Wasted work hours
- Slowed or halted production
- Missed production, delivery quotas and deadlines
- Reduced product quality and reliability
- Lost revenue
- Worker safety issues
- Environmental disasters
The Right Tools For The Job
Beyond technology, good maintenance also comes down to simple nuts and bolts…and there are literally millions of them on the nearly one-million oil and gas wells in the United States. Keeping these parts and other metal components in good working order requires skilled, eagle-eyed technicians and the finest specialty products on the market. That’s where Kano, the makers of Kroil, comes in. Kano products have been used in the oil and gas industry for decades to help service and maintenance professionals keep assets functioning in almost every type of environment. The combination of predominantly metal components with near constant operation and exposure to the elements, equates to copious amounts of unwelcomed rust, corrosion and greasy surfaces. To combat this, the pros turn to the following products:
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 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.
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.
