Rocol is one of seven industry-leading divisions that make up the global industrial company ITW. Based in Glenview, in the US state of Illinois, this Fortune 150 multi-national does nearly half its business in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Far East. The Rocol operation has its headquarters in Leeds and although it also has a South African arm, the brand is identified strongly with the UK.
Like all the businesses under the ITW umbrella, Rocol is highly specialised in its area of expertise which is the development, manufacture and marketing of technically advanced industrial lubricants and line marking systems for use in industries all over the world. Those industries include aerospace, marine and offshore plant, food processing and metalworking.
Industrial lubricants are essential in any manufacturing or industrialised process. They literally keep the wheels turning. But although lubrication is at the core of Rocol's business, their products inevitably spread into other related areas. At Heating and Plumbing World, we have selected products from the range which have a very wide application in commercial contexts as well as the potential for use in some domestic situations.
In cases of suspected gas leaks, the first signs that something is wrong will be a loss in pressure or possibly the smell of gas. Pinpointing the source of the leak can be a long, difficult process. The Rocol leak detector spray is a powerful tool for detecting any leak accurately and quickly. It is suitable for both natural gas and LPG systems and is effective on positive pressure, plastic or metal pipework and fittings, however small. It leaves a thin film of surface-active agents giving a clear visual marker of the problem area. The spray canister has a 360-degree valve enabling you to reach even the most difficult spots.
Once you've located the problem with the Rocol leak detector spray, you need to find an efficient remedy. Rocol gas seal products are highly effective in dealing with system leaks, whether at threaded connection points or other weak spots. We sell the Rocol rapid seal, which is a particularly effective option. It is a rapid-curing pipe sealant with universal application, widely used by registered gas installers. Suitable for both natural gas and LPG pipework, Rocol rapid seal has a wide temperature range and high pressure resistance. It is also NSF P1 listed which means it can safely be used in food preparation and processing areas.
These and other Rocol products are available for collection or delivery from Heating and Plumbing World. If you need any advice on product suitability or any other heating and plumbing issue, please don't hesitate to call us.
