Commodity Online/By Gary G Clark Lubricants are a necessity for any one who owns a vehicle. Across the globe, vehicle, equipment and plant owners are searching for better solutions to vehicles, equipment and plant emissions and lubrication problems. They want lubricants that will help them keep vehicles, equipment and plants running efficiently and smoothly, plus chemicals to help reduce emissions, and smog problems.
They want lubricants that won’t cause production interruptions for unscheduled maintenance, and they want those chemicals, and lubrications very fast.
There is a line of high-tech chemicals and lubricants that helps to reduce friction, and provide wear, rust, and corrosion protection far beyond anything available in today’s commercial and industrial markets.
They include a complete line of fuel products for gasoline and diesel fuel for the automotive aftermarket, fleet bulk storage tanks, pipe lines, all the way to the refineries. They also offer a revolutionary line of supplement products; they are a synthetic to semi-synthetic based line of products that can be used with most oils and lubricants.
These products are not an oil additive, nor a replacement petroleum product, but patented high-tech semi-synthetic constituents chemically bonded together in a patented new process to form a totally new Extreme Pressure (EP) ingredient.
When they are added to an existing lubricant, tiny molecules (less than 1 micron in diameter) are carried directly to the friction face. Because the molecules are very small, 0.1 micron in size (a human hair is 50 microns). Solid additives (i.e., PTFE, Teflon (a registered trademark of DuPont), Moly, Graphite, etc.) are 2 to 10 microns in size. The new technology is much the size of a cold virus, and in that conjunction can’t be stopped.
Once the molecules reach the friction face, they are attracted to the surface, thereby reducing friction, and drag. This new technology contains none of the common EP agents such as molybdenum disulfide (Moly), graphite, Teflon, or PTFE resins, copper, lead, silver, or other metals, nor other previously used EP agents, it doesn’t Contain Carbon Tetrachloride, 1,1,1, Trichloroethane, or Chlorinated Paraffin, or Chlorinated Solvents or any other harmful solvents.
The monomolecular lubrication technology is about to revolutionise the design and performance of wear components, thanks to the extremely high shear strength of the re-engineered hydrocarbon.
Once there, intermolecular forces pull the molecules to the surface where they cluster to fill in any pores or roughness. Remaining areas are covered by a layer just one molecule deep, hence the term monomolecular.
The intense shear strength of these microscopic layers provides outstanding smooth running and reduced friction characteristics, under the most demanding conditions even the most advanced EP lubricants fail to meet. To dispel fear that this new technology is just another ‘snake oil’, the most demanding application areas have used and tested these products.
Application areas in the industrial sector include: high power density hydraulic systems, gear boxes in mining, automotive, commercial vehicles to the largest gear boxes in the world; mining, construction plants and agricultural equipment; all types of engines from gasoline, diesel, propane to marine engines; as well as chains, bearings and other types of mechanized systems, including major cities,
states, and the US government; A test conducted inside the Tsingtao City Development Zone’s bus company, selected five big buses and added the new technology to the buses. Following strict experimental standards the test allowed no adjustments to the buses. The results showed “Fuel consumption went from 15 liters before the new technology products were added down to 12.14 liters after the new technology products were added. This was a fuel consumption drop of 19%. Five buses following the same testing procedures and had an average fuel savings of 16.2% and the operating conditions improved dramatically. Engine noise was cut down, lube oil consumption dropped 50% and emissions dropped significantly.” In another test in a similar experiment using a Toyota car, the results they observed showed a “25 litre savings in fuel consumption in a drive from Shengyang to Dailin. That was a savings of 17.9%.”
