Penray, Inc.'s newly-introduced Catalytic Converter Cleaning Kit has received the prestigious Best New Product Award in the chemicals, lubricants and filters category at AAPEX 2016. The award was presented by Bill Long, President and COO of AASA, and accepted by Mark Kardon, Director of Marketing and Steve Muth, Chief Chemist for Penray.
Penray's innovative Catalytic Converter Cleaning Kit, No. 2901, is the first product of its kind available in the automotive aftermarket, and the only such product to receive EPA registration. It is a two-step chemical cleaning kit that removes contaminants from catalytic converters in gasoline-powered cars, SUVs and light trucks.
Previously, the only option for motorists whose catalytic converters have become fouled with carbon or other deposits has been replacement of the entire catalytic converter. The cost of doing so can easily reach $1,500 or more. Now, motorists and professional technicians have an affordable and easy-to-use catalytic converter cleaning kit that can reduce exhaust emissions by as much as 50 percent. This greatly reduces the volume of pollutants entering the atmosphere, and not only allows vehicles to pass emissions tests, but also prevents fault code recurrence.
Penray's 2901 package is a two-part kit. The first product cleanses deposits from the platinum or palladium that forms the substrate of catalytic converters. The second product is Penray's Total Fuel System Cleaner, No. 2216, which removes deposits from fuel injectors and other critical fuel system components. This provides improved performance and fuel economy while helping to prevent future contamination within the catalytic converter.
"This award is important to us for two reasons," Kardon said. " We are honored that our new product has been recognized as the industry's Best New Product in a highly competitive category."
"In addition," he continues, "We are gratified to know that we have been able to produce a product that makes a contribution to keeping the environment clean while saving motorists hundreds of dollars."
