K100 history

K100 was invented in the early 1960s by organic chemist Alice Otto and her husband Richard, who ran a small chemical company in Buffalo, NY called Reaction Laboratories. Their customers burned heavy bunker fuel, and the tanks filled with sludge and water.

Alice Otto introduced the first version, Krystal 101, in 1965. She later reformulated it for diesel and, in the late 1970s, for gasoline.
