Denko Inc.

History

Founded in 1977, Denko sold it's products directly to fire departments with a staff of telemarketers until developing a network of dealers. Eventually, Denko became one of the largest foam manufacturer / distributors in the country with over 500 dealers.

In order to continue growing, Denko was sold to a group of investors that operated as Denko Foam, Inc. The original staff in production was kept on to assure that the company's reputation for quality would be maintained. The competitive nature of the fire fighting industry during the last decade, coupled with a short supply of fire equipment dealers that want to "earn" their share, forced Denko Foam, Inc. out of business.

Denko, Inc., a new and separate corporation has purchased all rights, trademarks, and formulas, and has retained the same production staff, returning to it's roots of selling directly to fire departments by phone, mail, and internet. For quality, service, and pricing,

Nobody beats Denko, Nobody!

Firetruck Wash and Wax (175)

One thing fire departments have always been proud of is the appearance of their vehicles. Of course, this requires a lot of time and labor that could be used in more important places. We have developed a means of cleaning and polishing fire vehicles that is the cheapest, fastest and easiest available anywhere. All you have to do is simply brush or spray it on, let it sit for a minute, then hose or rinse it off. That's all there is to it. No heavy brushing or scrubbing and the trucks don't even have to be wiped dry because there are never any spots. When the material dries it leaves a high gloss shine because of the built-in wax. So when the trucks come in, just put it on, rinse it off and the trucks are cleaned and polished in one easy step and it just takes a couple of minutes. With a minimum dilution rate of 200 to 1 with water, it is also the most economical product on the market. To top it off, the thin coat of wax is removed every time you wash, eliminating any wax buildup and leaving your vehicles always looking new.

Hose Cleaner Concentrate (755)

Maintenance of fire hose has always been a burden for fire departments. With our unique hose cleaner the job is made faster, easier and cheaper. This concentrate will dilute 200 to 1 with water when using a bucket and brush and up to 300 to 1 in high pressure hose washers. All you have to do is simply brush or spray it on, let it sit for a minute then hose or rise it off. One application will remove the heaviest build-up of mud, caked on dirt, light grease and oil and even some road tars picked up on hot days. Because of a revolutionary new preserving agent we have incorporated into this product, years of life will be added to your hose with a protective coating that surrounds each fiber. It also contains a rust preventative to aid in protecting couplings and fittings. This product is also biodegradable and as an extra bonus, performs as an excellent all purpose cleaner in the fire house, for coats, boots and helmets.

Turn-Out Cleaner (8751)

Turn out clean is a biodegradable product designed to clean turn out gear in an easy, safe and inexpensive way. Turn out clean is used on all fabrics from which contemporary fire fighting apparel is made. This includes Nomex, PBI and Kevlar as well as trim materials like Reflexite or Scotchlite. Turn out clean is also great for helmets, boots, faceshields and other accessories. Turn out clean was designed with simplicity in mind. Just spray it on, let it sit for a moment, then rinse it off. What we like to see, just before leaving the fire scene, is a fire fighter grabbing a bottle of turn out clean with a spray top and spraying his buddy, passing the bottle, he in turn spraying his buddy and so on down the line. When they're finished, going back to the first person, rinsing him off with a booster line and then rinsing the others. When they get back to the firehouse they take the gear off and hang it up to dry. That's it! And the hydrocarbons are left where they came from. Sold in quarts.
