About Kano Laboratories® Products

Kano Laboratories® formulates maintenance solutions that solve the toughest teardown and lubrication problems across aviation maintenance facilities, manufacturing plants, fleets, utilities, marine, and workshops. The Kroil® line of penetrating oils is engineered to creep through one-millionth-inch spaces, breaking the bond of rust, oxidation, and carbon so fasteners back out cleanly. Variants such as Penetrant with Silicone and Penetrant with Graphite extend performance with silicone film strength or high-temperature dry-film lubrication.

Beyond penetrants, Kano’s portfolio includes specialty lubricants and cleaners for specific challenges. Pyrolube® protects chains, bearings, and slides in continuous-heat environments. Microil® serves gauges, micrometers, and precision mechanisms with a non-corrosive, low-evaporation oil that resists gumming. Exrust™ chemically removes rust to a clean, finish-ready surface, while Floway™ lifts grease and grime from external engines and equipment. For food & beverage facilities, Kroil Clear® provides NSF H1 food-grade penetration and light lubrication, supporting hygienic maintenance programs.

Whether you need an aerosol for pinpoint access, a liquid for soak tanks, or bulk drums for plant-wide programs, Pilots HQ stocks the right Kano solution to free seized parts, reduce wear, and keep operations moving.
