Penetrating release agents also sometimes referred to as penetrating oils are specially formulated lubricants designed to loosen rusted, corroded or frozen nuts, bolts and fasteners.
How can NCH help you?
NCH has the best solution for all your frozen fasteners and components!
Our product K Release is a penetrating release agent specifically engineered to free stuck nuts, bolts and components that have been compromised by rust, corrosion, dirt and debris.
Unlike conventional lubricants that merely coat the surface, K Release is fortified with ingredients that penetrate and lubricate deep into the pores of metal surfaces; quickly breaking down the bonds that cause fasteners to seize up over time.
Key Features and Benefits
- Deep Penetration for Maximum Effectiveness
K Release is formulated to seep into even the smallest crevices, reaching areas where rust and corrosion have locked bolts, nuts and fittings in place. This ensures a faster and more efficient release compared to traditional sprays and oils. - Rapid Action against Rust and Corrosion
This powerful solution starts working immediately upon application, penetrating and softening through layers of rust and corrosion to loosen components without the need for excessive force or heat treatment. This is particularly useful in environments where fast maintenance turnaround is crucial. - Ideal for Countersunk and Recessed Bolts
Many penetrating oils struggle to reach bolts that sit deep within recesses or countersunk areas. K Release overcomes this limitation with its superior penetration ability; ensuring that even hard-to-reach fasteners can be freed with ease. - Superior lubrication with Liquid Moly
One of K Release’s standout features is the lubricity and protection provided by our Liquid Moly film. This film not only further reduces friction ensuring smoother and easier component removal but it also provides additional anti-wear protection after removal.
Versatile Applications across Industries
K Release isn’t just for automotive repairs—it’s widely used in various industries where rust and corrosion pose major challenges. Common applications include:
What are penetrating release agents composed of?
Penetrating release agents typically contain the following components:
- Solvents – such as hydrocarbon solvents. They allow the oil to seep into pores and crevices
- Lubricants – The lubricant is the base of the penetrating oil and helps provide the lubricity needed to aid the release of the frozen part.
- Rust & Corrosion inhibitors – To leave a protective film behind to help prevent future rusting/corrosion.
- Propellants – For the aerosol packaging. This allows the even distribution of the product in problem areas.
How do they work?
With the combination of the constituents described above, the product works with the aid of capillary action. This means the product is able to flow into a narrow spaces and between metal surfaces without any further help.
As it penetrates, some components will help soften the rust and corrosion present. The lubricating oil then reduces the friction between the parts allowing the parts to be separated with some manual movement.
The rust and corrosion inhibitors left on the surface help prevent any future rust/corrosion formation so that parts remain free and operational.
Why Choose K Release Over Other Penetrating Agents?
While many products on the market claim to release rusted fasteners, K Release stands out due to its superior penetration, rapid action and friction reducing liquid moly film. It helps lower the risk of component damage, extends the lifespan of fasteners and minimises downtime during maintenance tasks.
