DETROIT, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ — Defying the area’s economic downturn,
Kolene Corporation reported today it received more than $1.5 million in new
equipment orders from aerospace companies. The orders include:

— Two automated systems for removing molybdenum disulfide lubricants
from titanium fasteners used in military and commercial aircraft and other
critical high performance applications. One system will be installed at Air
Industries in California, and the second at CamCar Aerospace in Illinois.

— A molten salt bath for installation at a new B.F. Goodrich facility
under construction in Mexicali, Mexico. The new installation will remove
oxides, scales, and lubricants from assorted titanium fuselage components.

— A replacement molten salt bath for descaling continuous high-nickel
alloys. The new equipment, which incorporates the latest energy-saving
burner technology, was ordered by Special Metals – a PCC company to replace
a Kolene system installed 18 years ago. Special Metals produces trademarked
alloys such as Inconel(R), Incoloy(R), Monel(R), and other familiar high
performance materials.

“With our worldwide reputation for proven metals descaling and cleaning
technologies, we are benefiting from the on-going expansion programs of
aviation and aeronautical companies. This year we expect to set new levels
of business success in this demanding market,” said Kolene Chairman Roger
L. Shoemaker. “Our thermochemical processes utilize specialized molten
salts and custom-engineered equipment to efficiently remove scales and
lubricants from the modern materials and alloys used in today’s aircraft.”

Shoemaker continued: “With increasing demand for rapid processing
results and improved quality, we will be taking our Extreme Cleaning
Technologies ‘on the road’ over the next several weeks to help American
manufacturing meet these challenges. Kolene will be exhibiting in
Indianapolis at Coating 2008 September 23 – 25 (thecoatingshow.com). On
October 20-21, we will be in Dallas for the 12th World Congress on
Investment Casting (http://www.investmentcasting.org/event_new.asp?ID=378), and
the following week in Denver for the Department of Defense Maintenance
Symposium and Exhibition October 27 – 30 (http://www.sae.org/events/dod/).
These diverse venues show the broad applications that our technologies
enjoy.”
