Kolene® No. 10W

Formulated specifically to descale reactive refractory metals such as molybdenum and tungsten. Provides rapid and uniform reactivity to produce smooth, clean surfaces.

Versatile descaling composition for stainless steels, nickel alloys, and super alloys. Appropriate for batch and continuous anneal and pickle applications.

Provides complete and rapid paint stripping action for general maintenance of hook, racks, and hangers. May be used in batch mode or Kontinuous™ applications for automated rack stripping.

Mid-temperature catalyzed oxidizing salt for quick and complete removal of carbon and oils from engine components during remanufacture. Very effective in cured paint and powder stripping from a variety of metallic substrates.

Unique, multi-metal paint and powder removal process to salvage defectively-coated components. Effective on e-coat, powder, liquid, and multi-coat finishes. Compatible with ferrous, galvanized, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, and copper alloys. Does not dull highly-polished surfaces.

Recover® 5000

Recover® 5000 E Stripper

Recover® Reactivator
Formulation used to maintain the chemical composition of the Recover stripping bath.
