Husky Corporation of Pacific, Missouri, has acquired the New York-based Kinetic Laboratories and its K100 product line of gasoline and diesel fuel treatment additives.
Husky is already a manufacturer of fuel dispensing products, serving customers across the transportation sector.
The K100 line is a proprietary formula developed 57 years ago and remains one of the most versatile and effective fuel treatments. The K100 line works on water management, fuel stability, and control of gums and varnishes.
“The K100 product line is an excellent compliment to all our current offerings for fuel dispensing, automotive, and transportation customers,” said Grenville Sutcliffe, President of the Husky Corporation. “This acquisition fits extremely well with our company growth strategy.”
The K100 products target water in fuel systems—an issue with gasolines containing an ethanol blend.
When added to fuel or storage tanks, the K100 permanently bonds and encapsulates water molecules, forming a burnable organic compound. When the engine runs, the encapsulated water is harmlessly burned with the fuel, releasing a beneficial cleansing steam.
“We are delighted to see that Husky is dedicated to investing in K100 to grow the business,” said Mark Quallen, Chief Executive Officer with Kinetic Laboratories.
