FNC Salts

Kolene® FNC-Base™

Proprietary blend of alkali cyanates used to meet SAE AMS-2753C standards for salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing.

FNC Salts

Kolene® FNC-Regen™

A nitrogen-carbon polymer based on melamine used to restore the nitriding potential of the Kolene® FNC-Base™ bath.

FNC Salts

Kolene® QS™

A molten salt bath quench chemistry used to control the cooling rate of freshly nitrided parts, avoiding the potential for distortion. The oxidizing quench also neutralizes any cyanide compounds formed during the nitriding process.
