Automotive & Heavy-Duty Remanufacturing: Driving Efficiency and Component Recovery

Heavy-Duty Remanufacturing & Degreasing

We specialize in heavy-duty, “split-out” formulations engineered to tackle the most tenacious soils found in engine restoration.

• Engineered for Power: Our cleaners strip away baked-on grease, burnt carbon, aged lubricants, and stubborn varnishes from core parts.
• Multi-Action Chemistry: These solutions actively dissolve stubborn flash rust and surface oxidation, ensuring reclaimed parts return to service in peak operating condition.
• Material-Specific Solutions:
  • Heavy-Duty Caustic Cleaners: Formulated specifically for cast iron engine blocks, bell housings, crankshafts, and heads (e.g., LAC 110, LAC 150, LARZIP 15/30).
  • Aluminum-Safe Solutions: Safe yet effective cleaners for delicate components like turbocharger compressor housings (e.g., LAC 105, LAC 147).

Precision Machining with NuSOL® Technology

For automotive manufacturing and precision machining of engine components, our NuSOL® line eliminates the compromise between heavy-duty lubricity and low-maintenance cleanliness.

• Unmatched Film Strength: Engineered with proprietary base fluids that are 25x to 150x more viscous than typical industry products to handle high-load machining cycles.
• Extended Tool Life: NuSOL® protects expensive custom tooling longer by maintaining a minimal coefficient of friction, even under extreme pressure.
• Clean Machine Environment: Its sub-micron particle size ensures rapid tool cooling and a cleaner shop floor with lower drag-out rates.

Advanced Quenching and Heat-Treating

Automotive metallurgical requirements demand consistency and safety. Our UCON® polymer quenchants offer a precise alternative to traditional oils for automotive component heat treatment.

• Reduced Costs: Achieve a greater than 50% reduction in manufacturing costs through polymer dilution and lower carry-off rates.
• Eliminate Hazards: Formulated with water to eliminate fire hazards within your facility.

Reliable Maintenance & Preservation

Keep your facility and your finished parts protected with our specialized industrial support products:

• Duraloc High-Performance Greases: Engineered for applications where reliability is non-negotiable, featuring lithium, calcium, and molybdenum-fortified chemistries for extreme pressure and shock loading.
• Metal Protection & VCI: Ensure your parts reach the customer in perfect condition. We offer short-term indoor to long-term outdoor protection, including Vapor Phase Inhibitors (VCI) for targeted atmospheric defense during shipping.
• Wastewater Optimization: Our cleaners are designed to rapidly split oil out of the water phase, allowing for easy skimming and extending the fluid life of your wash tanks.
