Reduce emissions and cut fuel costs – an “Engine or Gearbox Rebuild in a Bottle”
Bearing before treatment with FrictionGuard
Nanolia FrictionGuard™ is an exciting new “smart coating” formulation that enables almost any machine to operate more efficiently, while reducing fuel costs by around 11% and emissions by up to 60%. Based on the latest nano-coating technology the product – which is simply added to engine or gearbox oil – is a low cost way to reduce the cost of operating your vehicle. It is equally effective from the smallest motorbike to the largest bus, lorry or locomotive. One application is good for 100,000 km - even if the oil is changed many times in that period. And after 100,000 km, it can be simply reapplied to further the vehicle’s life. It’s like an engine or gearbox rebuild in a bottle.
Bearing after treatment with Nanolia FrictionGuard
Nanolia FrictionGuard – which is not classed as a fuel or oil additive – is a nano coating that actually prevents engine metal wear so that gears, pistons and bearings become almost maintenance free with an extended service life. In addition to this preventive use, it can also be used to repair worn parts, restoring them to their former quality and efficiency.
Environmentally Positive
Nanolia FrictionGuard “smart coatings” are amazingly easy to apply and have a major positive impact for vehicle owners and fleet operators, helping cut costs while supporting sustainability and efficiency and contributing to cleaner air.
- Longer lasting engines / vehicle gears, pistons and bearings
- Fuel Efficiency: around 11% savings on fuel
- Emissions reductions (on average 50-60%)
How does it work?
Lubricants work by creating a protective film that avoids direct contact of the metallic surfaces. However, lubricants are not able to protect the metal surfaces under all conditions or permanently. This new nano coating technology works differently. It actually modifies the surface texture of frictional metal parts and creates a new, smooth metal silicate coating. This metal silicate coating reduces friction and increases efficiency, especially in older engines and gearboxes. Due to optimisation of compression pressure in engines, oil- and fuel consumption and emissions of exhaust gases such as CO₂ are reduced.
The synthesised metal silicate compound only has to be added to the original lubricant to be carried to the affected areas of the engine or gear box. In the abrasion area, the metal silicates react due to high temperature and/or high partial pressure and conjoin with the metal surfaces, filling the smallest corrugations, pores or micro cracks in the metal surface, forming an extremely smooth and solid metal silicate layer. The treated metal silicate surfaces have a much lower friction coefficient and allow for a better and faster build-up of a lubricating film. At the top end of the scale, the effect on wind turbine gearboxes, for example, is well documented and significant in terms not only of extended gearbox life but also increased power generation.
