FRAM Filtration and its PetroClear® brand of fuel-dispensing filters is pleased to introduce an innovative new textured paint finish to its comprehensive line of fuel-dispensing filters. The new non-slip coating enables users to obtain a tighter grip around PetroClear’s spin-on filters, resulting in faster and safer installation and replacement of their in-dispenser filters.
Filter exteriors that feature a standard glossy paint finish frequently become slick due to fuel residue and grime. These slippery conditions can cause users to drop the filter – particularly during filter changes – which can lead to spilling the filter’s residual fuel. The new textured paint non-slip coating helps to prevent filter mishaps.
“Sometimes the cup used to spin the filter off of the dispenser can slip, which can create precarious handling conditions for the user,” said Dwight Rutledge, Business Development Manager PetroClear Filters. “The non-slip coating of the new filters enables a tighter grip on the filter, which helps prevents hazardous and time-consuming spills.”
Advantages of Textured Paint Filters:
• Significantly improves grip to neutralize slippery operating conditions
• Enables quicker installation and removal of filters
• Reduces the risk of dropping the filter and spilling fuel in the sump
• Compensates for hazardous conditions caused by especially “slick” fuels such as diesel and kerosene
• Makes hand-tightening of filters easier
• Enhances workplace safety by reducing the risk of fuel splashing or splattering
• Minimizes time needed to clean up spills
“PetroClear fuel dispenser filters are extremely user-friendly,” said PetroClear Account Director Robert Ingham. “We are very proud to bring a product to the fuel market that enhances safety and ease-of-replacement in such a tangible, pragmatic way.”
