Wenol® is widely used as cleaner and polish for electron microscope applications, ion beam systems, vacuum coating systems and general lab applications. Wenol® has been originally formulated for use on hard metal surfaces such as stainless steel. It can be used to clean and polish hard metal parts for vacuum systems. The carrier fluid dissolves in most hydrocarbons and is easily removed. Wenol® is petroleum based and does not contain silicones. It is not recommended for use on soft metal such as aluminum.
Note: Wenol® is manufactured by the same manufacturer as the discontinued POL polish. Both products share the same formulation but have a different packaging. The many users of POL polish will find that Wenol® will give the same satisfactory results.
