What do Coca-Cola® and Viagra® have to do with cleaning fluids?
by Tom Kucklick, Technical Sales/Applications Specialist, Graymills Corporation
I was thinking about Coca-Cola the other day. Today, it’s one of the world’s most famous brand names but it was originally invented to combat morphine addiction, treat headaches and relieve anxiety. And then I thought about Viagra - originally created for anti-seizures …. and we all know what it’s used for today. Hmm - products made for one purpose which then successfully morph into new markets.
That made me consider our own Graymills unintended discovery - Inkitene GM975. We first developed Inkitene for the printing industry in 2018 to clean water-based and UV .jpg)
inks, coatings, and adhesives. It’s an aqueous cleaner - ultra-powerful with a natural cleaner/degreaser that’s safe for use with aluminum and non-ferrous alloys.
So one day as we were looking at an industrial cleaner filled with Inkitene and we had some dirty parts; we wondered “what the heck?”
And voilá, we discovered that Inkitene is a great solution for general industrial grime - and works like a dream on all kinds of industrial oils and greases. And best of all, it works in a variety of our parts washer machines from immersion parts washers to spray and even in ultrasonic.
So if you’re looking for a pleasant-smelling, hydroxide-free cleaning fluid, with a mild corrosion inhibitor to clean all your aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, and steel parts - take a look at Inkitene - our unintended discovery!
