 Why Use KIRASOL® Products?
The KIRASOL® family of products will rapidly, and safely
remove difficult organic contaminants including oils, heavy
hydrocarbons, asphalts, asphaltenes, waxes, adhesives, pitch,
oil-based inks, lubricants, and polymeric binders.

Ease of Use
• Quicker and more effective cleaning
• Non-caustic and non-corrosive safe for equipment and workers
• Versatile
• Dilutable with water (typical use concentration 1%-10%). Wash away easily.

Ease of Disposal
• Biodegradable
• Mild pH’s (No waste stream neutralization)
• Non-chlorine containing
• Organic contaminants in most cases will separate from KIRASOL®
products assisting in waste management and minimization.
 Why is KIRASOL® Effective?

 Why Use NOXOL® Products?
The NOXOL® family of products will rapidly, and safely
remove inorganic contaminants including difficult metal
oxides and salts.

Ease of Use
• Versatile, remove difficult scales, used in aqueous environment
• Fast working (High throughput)
• Equipment safe, non-corrosive to metal and other substrates
• Worker safe, non-corrosive, non-flammable and non-volatile
• Mild pH’s

Ease of Disposal
• Biodegradable
• Mild pH’s
• Non chlorine containing
 What are NOXOL® Products?
Advanced compounds that remove mixed oxides, difficult salts and water
hardness scales. This family of products will rapidly and selectively
remove corrosion products and scale from surfaces selectively without
Metal ions corroding the underlying material.
