ABOUT SALT-AWAY PRODUCTS, INC.
In 1993, Salt-Away Products, Inc. (then Salt-Away Products) conceived the idea of producing a product to flush salt from salt-water
marine engines as well as remove salt from other salt-water boating, fishing, and marine equipment. The design of the product included
inhibiting rusting and corrosion on all salt exposed surfaces. It began conducting lengthy tests on prototype formulas for these
purposes. Testing was performed on dozens of metals and metal alloys, and many other materials used in the salt-water marine
environment. That testing was conducted by independent laboratories, marine mechanics, the formulators of the product, and by the
owners of the company.
In late 1994, after the testing had concluded with many excellent results, the sales and marketing program was initiated. Salt-Away
Products, Inc. continued to develop its salt removing products for salt-water marine applications and expanded into automotive, car
wash, industrial, and military applications. Due to Salt-Away's excellent quality and performance and safety, Salt-Away
has become the most popular salt removing product on the market.
We believe that to maintain the #1 position in the marketplace and to offer the public the best products available, we must always be
looking for ways to make advancements with our products. So, in 1999 we began an 18-month program to investigate new, safer, and
better performing chemicals to add or exchange with some of our current ingredients. Testing was conducted on several combinations of
advanced chemicals and in February 2001, we introduced our new Advanced Formula.
With our new Advanced Formula, we have continued to conduct a series of tests, particularly at the request of the military, using
military specification testing methods, metals and procedures. The objectives included metal immersion testing for weight loss data,
removal of sodium chlorides and other contaminants from steel substrates and other surfaces for preparation of coating applications,
and sodium chloride removal from salt water marine engines. These tests, performed in 2001 and 2002, reveal that Salt-Away has
passed the ISO Standard (8502-6) for Chloride Removal and the Assessment for Surface Cleanliness, and has passed the minimum
requirements for weight loss (lack of deleteroius effects) and salt removal on all mil spec metals used in the controlled tests.
In 2003, due to the growth of the company and its expansion into the industrial and military marketplace, Salt-Away Products, Inc.
became incorporated and began offering stock shares for private investors.
