Kano Laboratories Launches Kroil Clear Food Grade Penetrating Oil
Kano Laboratories Introduces Kroil Clear, New Penetrant Safe for Food and Beverage Equipment
Nashville, Tenn. (Sept. 16, 2024) – For the first time in its 85-year history, Kano Labs – the
maker of the iconic Kroil brand of professional grade penetrants – is announcing a new formula,
Kroil Clear, which is safe for food and beverage equipment. This new odorless and non-staining
food grade penetrating oil features the proven performance of Kroil’s original formula, with the
added benefit of meeting NSF-H1 and Kosher food-safe standards.
“We’re proud to introduce Kroil Clear to the market,” said Kano Laboratories Chief Marketing
Officer Joan Duvall. “We’ve combined Kroil’s industrial strength performance, trusted by
industrial maintenance pros for decades, with a powerful, food-safe formula that can be applied
across industries.”
True to its namesake, Kroil Clear works quickly to penetrate and free rusted nuts, bolts,
fasteners, shafts, pulleys, joints, linkages and more. It is ideal for planned and unplanned
maintenance, as well as equipment disassembly.
“The Kroil Clear product opens up a broad swath of new industry opportunities for Kano Labs,
as the product’s applications go well beyond food and beverage processing and packaging,”
Duvall said. “Due to its NSF-H1 and Kosher industry compliance ratings and stain-free, odorless
formula, Kroil Clear can be used without hesitation in sports and entertainment venues,
amusements parks, hospitality and healthcare settings, pharmaceutical production, textile
manufacturing, HVAC venting systems, and more.”
Key features of Kroil Clear:
- NSF-H1 Food Grade Penetrating Oil: Ensures safety in processing and packaging
environments with incidental food contact. - Odorless: Designed to be non-intrusive, ensuring it does not affect the quality of food
products. It will not permeate the air, making it ideal for use in HVAC air handling and
venting systems. - Non-staining: There is no color transfer, making it appropriate for food, beverage, and
textile machinery applications. - Proven Kroil performance: Penetrates quickly to free rusted and seized metal parts –
saving time, money, tools, and equipment.
Kroil Clear is available in aerosol and liquid packages. The aerosol is sold in 3-ounce, 10-ounce, and 13-ounce containers. The liquid penetrant is available in 8-ounce and one-gallon containers.
