Petrogen Inc.
The Petrogen Oxy-Gasoline Cutting Torch System uses regular liquid gasoline as fuel, replacing acetylene for cutting steel. Safe, fast, powerful and economical to use, fuel is liquid from tank to tip, making fuel line backflash impossible. The Petrogen flame jumps air gaps, cuts through layers and punches deep holes fast; and cuts through rust, paint and oil without hesitation. Petrogen's ASME-code fuel tank holds 2.5 gallons of gasoline, equivalent to 250 cubic feet of acetylene with no increase in oxygen consumption. The gasoline flame oxidizes steel 100 percent so sparks are lighter weight and less hazardous. A Portable Cutting System (PCS) backpack cutting unit is also offered. Recommended by the U.S. Department of Energy, the system is listed by UL, used by U.S. Homeland Security and FEMA; tested and approved by U.S. Navy and Coast Guard; allowed by MSHA in all mines; and made in the United States.

RoMix Chemical Inc.
RoMix Inc. has developed a safe alternative to harsh acids that removes hardened cement without damage or hazardous working conditions. Back-Set will dissolve concrete at the molecular level causing it to break down and lose its bond. It is non-corrosive (ASTM G-31), NonDOT Regulated (CFR49 Sec. 173.24), Readily Biodegradable (ASTM E1720-01), and safe on paint (PPG and Dupont) and the user (safe to skin and metal per DOT/OSHA test protocol). The unique chemistry replaces such acids as hydrochloric, muriatic, phosphoric, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, and is not a low pH salt. BackSet is formulated to be used undiluted to remove cement, concrete, mortar, grout, and stucco from virtually any surface. The recommended method for application is spraying, but can be foamed on to saturate the hardened concrete. After waiting 15 minutes, and performing a second saturation of the same area, concrete should start to lose its bond after 20 to 30 minutes followed by rinsing with water. Visit Booth S-11129.
