WARMINSTER, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CRC Industries, Inc. announces the acquisition of Weld-Aid Products, a
leading manufacturer and marketer in maintenance chemicals serving the

designed to both clean and lubricate the wire, reducing friction as the
wire is fed to the torch. A full line of welding and metal protection
products are marketed, including category-leading products in zinc
coatings, anti-spatter and lubricants.

Customers are served through two major selling divisions: the
aftermarket division for welding-related cleaning and lubrication
products and the zinc rich coatings division, specializing in products
and solutions for the galvanizing and infrastructure markets.

Industry leading Weld-Aid® branded products include:
WELD-KLEEN®, a coating to prevent spatter buildup;
NOZZLE-KLEEN®, a coating to maximize tip life; LUBE-MATIC®,
a coating to maximize tip and liner life; FRACSURE®, YORK’S
Products, BRITE® Products, and leading galvanizing brands
BRITE ZINC® and Weld-Aid 1st ZINC®.

brands and products will greatly enhance our ability to meet and exceed
our global mission to be the brands of first choice to our many
