U.S. Patent No. 10,267,227 Fortifies CRC Intellectual Patent Portfolio
HORSHAM, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CRC Industries, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of specialty
chemicals for maintenance and repair professionals and do-it-yourselfers,
announced the issuance of US Patent No. 10,267,227 for its CRC
GDI IVD® Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner. The patented technology includes
systems for the reduction or elimination of intake valve deposits in
gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and related methods, including
the delivery device, conduit and actuator.
CRC GDI IVD® Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner is a revolutionary aerosol
product that cleans GDI intake valves when applied through the engine’s
air intake or throttle body and delivered directly to the back of the
valves. As vehicle manufacturers began shifting to GDI technology, CRC
was at the forefront in addressing the unique performance issues caused
by carbon deposit buildup on GDI intake valves, such as hard starts,
rough idle, poor acceleration, reduced fuel economy, excess emissions
and power loss.
CRC has a rich history of innovation, driven by a core focus on
identifying unmet needs in the marketplace and providing differentiated
solutions for its customer partners and end users. CRC was
first-to-market with many industry-leading products, such as CRC
Brakleen®, the #1 selling brake parts cleaner worldwide and CRC Mass Air
Flow Sensor Cleaner.
“We continually strive to innovate by developing new solutions to
maintenance issues and addressing the needs of our customers both now
and for the future. It’s critical to be forward-thinking and stay ahead
of technological advances,” stated Adam Selisker, global VP of research
and development for CRC. “The number of vehicles with GDI engines in the
US is expected to exceed 80 million by 2021. Our proprietary technology
provides a better service alternative to maintain GDI engines for both
repair shops and vehicle owners, while also making the job manageable
for the skilled DIYer.”
Prior to the invention of CRC GDI IVD® Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner,
cleaning GDI intake valves was a costly, labor-intensive process,
requiring engine disassembly to remove the valves for manual cleaning or
walnut-shell blasting. With the new CRC GDI valve cleaner, the service
can be performed up to 75% faster than previous methods and without
engine teardown, freeing up valuable bay time for shops and saving
hundreds of dollars for consumers.
