kresto gt hand soap
KrestoGT's line of all-natural hand cleaning products get the job done without those harmful solvents you find in other soaps. These biodegradable scrubbers are soft enough for the hands and just about any other surface. KrestoGT scrubbers have smooth edges that will keep things clean while simultaneously neutralizing odors. These cleaning solutions are available in pump-top bottles, cartridges for wall-mounted dispensers, dual-sided portable scrubber towels and 250 ml flip-top tubes.

KrestoGT Features

 
You won't have to worry about KrestoGT's ingredients harming your hands or other sensitive surfaces. These heavy duty cleaners clean without any damaging agents mixed in. There's no pumice, solvents, distillates, petroleum, kerosene, plastic particles or byproducts of crude oil. Each KrestoGT formulation has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with skin. The hand soap is environmentally friendly to boot. Apply some KrestoGT to heavy soils and you will be surprised at just how well it works. The soap's scrubbers are actually made with walnut shell powder and cornmeal for a smooth and easy application that won't damage your drain on the way down.


Who KrestoGT is Made For

 
Just about everyone can benefit from this soap product. It removes grime, grease, oil and graphite from the hands without drying out your skin. This is made possible thanks to the soap's built-in moisturizers. Those who do work with their hands will especially love this soap's ability to clean through just about any substance. KrestoGT is even available in wipe form so you can use it when you have a mess but lack access to a source of water. The wipes are great addition to your tool box, car, camp site, or anywhere where water is not readily available.  You can mount KrestoGT dispensers in your shop, garage, basement or pole barn. Each dispenser has BioCote protection to fight against exposure to mold and bacteria.
 

KrestoGT Fragrances and Package Selections

 
Kresto GT is available in a variety of scents. The Cherry Turbo has a lovely rich fragrance that blocks out pesky odors you'd like to eliminate. It cuts right through grime, grease, oil and just about anything else. Other fragrances include Orange Boost and a specialized formula called Paint Shop. Paint Shop is ideal for quickly and safely removing oil-based paints, tar, adhesives, lacquers and asphalt. It's an excellent substitute for thinners and other varieties of solvents. Each fragrance will last at least a full two years from the date of manufacture. This is a soap you can trust. It is perfect for your workshop, garage, basement or anywhere else in the home.

Loctite Adhesives and Sealants

LockTite
For over 50 years, Loctite has been a world leader in adhesives, sealants and surface treatments.  Loctite products are tested under extreme conditions and for some of the world’s most important aerospace, electronics and industrial manufacturing, maintenance and repair projects. 

TruckSpring.com carries a full line of Loctite gasket sealants, threadlockers, thread sealants, anti-seize  compounds and lubricants for many applications.

Seal Gaskets vs. Gasketing Sealants

LockTite
Seal gaskets, or sealing gaskets, are used to bind objects together and prevent leakage once the bond is secure. While pre-cut sealing gaskets may provide an effective sealing solution, they are manufactured in multiple sizes and must be kept in stock for when a repair becomes necessary.  Keeping this inventory is both expensive and requires additional warehouse space.

Gasketing sealants, such as Loctite Gasket Ready liquid gasket, can be used in place of existing gaskets for any type of flange, rigid, permanent assemblies and non-rigid vibrating assemblies. 
Providing a more reliable and affordable alternative.

 

Thread Sealants

LockTite
Pipe dopes and thread tapes are one way to attempt to seal fittings and pipe threads, but it's not thebest wayPipe joints are dynamic, they experience vibration, changing pressures and changing temperatures, all of which put stress on threads and lead to leakage and expensive repairs.

Easy to apply Loctite Thread Sealants instantly provide a durable seal between close fitting threads to prevent the costly leakage of gas and liquids, while stopping corrosion and eliminating the problems caused when pipe dopes and tapes shrink and break down over time.

 

Threadlockers

LockTite
Threadlockers are a single component anaerobic adhesive comprised of unique liquid resins that harden (or cure) to a durable solid when exposed to metal ions in the absence of air. The anaerobic
cure mechanism allows the adhesive to flow and evenly settle to lock and seal threaded fasteners without curing permanently. 

Loctite threadlockers provide a reliable, removable and cost-effective approach to mechanical fasteners like lock washers and lock nuts.  Threadlockers lock against vibration and thermal expansion, seals against corrosion and leakage and reduces cost as expensive mechanical fasteners do not have to stocked.

 

Look to TruckSpring.com and Loctite to provide a solution for your gasket, sealant and threadlock needs. Call 1-800-358-4751 to order.

Kresto Cherry

Kresto Cherry from Stoko skincare is a new version of its popular soap Kresto.  Kresto Cherry has
the same advanced cleaning power as Kresto with an added fresh cherry scent. 

“‘Hand soap in a truck suspension parts blog?” you may ask. Well, we have been using the old school Kresto for years in our automotive repair shop and have a dozen mechanics that use it daily. We highly recommend it based on our experience to anyone that works in the automotive industry or home mechanics.  Kresto soap is already very popular in the automotive industry and the new cherry scent is sure to increase the popularity. Kresto Cherry has a fresh scent that will help remove the unwanted orders like gas, brake clean, oil, etc.  from your hands and arms.  Kresto Cherry will help remove everything from industrial dirt, grease, oil, ink, metal dust, adhesives, and soot.

Like Kresto soap, Kresto Cherry contains natural, biodegradable walnut shells that act as scrubbers to clean your hands.  The biodegradable walnut shells are tested and proven to not clog drains like other leading hand soaps.

Kresto Cherry is offered in the same convenient sizes as Kresto:
