Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil, 10 oz. aerosol (AEROKROIL)

Product Information

Kroil offers exceptional penetrating oils for all your needs. The brand has been a staple since 1939 when it was created to be the best possible penetrant. Kroil Penetrants have been used in various industries in the many years since then. A comparative experiment was conducted by Machinist's Workshop Magazine, May to June 2007 edition, on the top commercially branded penetrating oil and the 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone commonly called atf mix. With a measured torque meter, the commercially branded products namely, WD-40 Multi-Use, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, Kano Kroil, and acetone and transmission fluid penetrating oil were put to the test. The torques required to remove the nut from the scientifically rusted bolt were measured.

Now, we will get into the in-depth details of each of these penetrating oil. By the seven key factors, let’s see the differences and how they work. Performance on Rust The Vegetable oil and acetone mix was discovered by Drexel University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, engineering students. Comparison tests of WD-40 Multi-Use Oil, vegetable oil mixtures, and ATF were facilitated by a professor of engineering at Drexel University, Alex Moseson. Moseson's students tested the research of Pat Delany, an E4C key member, that the vegetable mixture can be as effective as branded commercial penetrating oil. Here, we have made a comparison chart below to understand the difference between Kroil, PB Blaster, and WD-40 penetrating oil. Features For example, one oil might be explicitly created to be safe for use on plastic and rubber parts. But another penetrating oil could contain a variety of materials that will damage any rubber or plastic items that it is used on. When you consider what you will be using the penetrating oil on, be sure that the formulation you choose is safe and applicable to your needs. All of the penetrating fluids above can be used for cleaning. You can use some wire brush and cloth to clean your car with any of these penetrating oil.In summary, PB Blaster offers many benefits for its users with certain limitations that must be taken into consideration when using this product. Overall however, this penetrating oil can certainly assist with various scenarios and tasks with its high performance ingredients. The result and ranks are as follows: No penetrating oil added = 516 foot pounds of torque; 5. WD 40 = 238 foot pounds of torque; 4. PB Blaster = 238 foot pounds of torque; 3. Liquid Wrench = 127 foot pounds of torque; and 2. Kano Kroil = 106 foot of pounds of torque. The number 1 rank was 50/50 blend of ATF and Acetone mix = 50 foot of pounds of torque.

I pounded on the tops of the 1 and 4 pistons to see if they would loosen up. The number 1 cylinder with Kroil started to move so I continued to work on it. I got it far enough down the cylinder to see where the rings has set against the cylinders. I took my wire wheel and cleaned up the cylinder again and then pounded the piston from the bottom and it came out of the cylinder. Given their similar technology but different attributes and pricing strategies, ultimately trying both brands or asking others in your field what they would recommend might be necessary to determine which one will work best for you depending on your needs and budget. To conclude this section on PB Blaster vs Kril debate; next we will look at how both of these penetrating oils can be used in specific applications. Applications of PB Blaster With its perfected scientific formula Kano Kroil Penetrating Oil can penetrate and creep into the smallest spaces down to a million inches of space. Perfect for cleaning and maintaining almost every metal from guns to bearings to hinges, Kano Kroil gets it done fast and efficiently, making your every penny worth the price. Wrapping it up In the corner of the red corner we have Kril, the new challenger from the East. Kril is the popular imported penetrating oil that has a natty reputation for great value and lubricity.

It doesn’t matter what penetrating oil you choose. You must understand one thing clearly. That is, good results require good time, so it takes effort. Whether the penetrating oil will work or not also depends on the type of hardness of the rust or the density of the jammed nuts and bolt along with Corrosion. While penetrating oils are best known to loosen seized bolts and nuts, they also offer other benefits. Anti-Corrosion and Anti-Rust Furthermore, there have been discovered instances where penetrating oil is used, like for quieting noisy hinges and suspensions.

While PB Blaster also has a powerful base that can penetrate heavy corrosion, its lower alkaline nature leaves components prone to future corrosion and rusting. Additionally, this product does have a slight odor but many feel it’s much less potent than Kril’s. On the plus side, PB Blaster is a more affordable option compared to Kril’s higher price tag.
