Motor oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic Oils and gear oils are flowing lubricants that provide a film barrier between metal surfaces pressing or rubbing together. The greater the film strength, or EP rating, the better the oil and or lubricant. However, in extreme pressure metal-to-metal areas, the film strength of oil is seriously thinned and is often completely squeezed out due to clearances and sub-micron barriers that create heat and friction.
A quality Metal treatment is designed to interact with metal surfaces in a molecular and chemical process to create a protective buffer on the surface of the metal. This is not a film or coating over the metal. Molecules in the metal treatment are polarized and actually bond with the metal surface. The layer of Metal Treatment molecules is activated by extreme pressure and heat, meaning that the metal treatment performs best right where it is needed most! The result are significantly reduces harmful friction and heat.
High oil temperatures accelerate oxidation of the engine oil and the formation of acids, peroxide, carbon residue, sludge and varnish formations. As oil temperature rises, oxidation takes place, the oil becomes increasingly corrosive, and oil viscosity decreases resulting in a loss of lubrication. Certain metal conditioners help reduce heat so that the oil can maintain maximum protection, performance, and film strength.
It is important to know what your Metal Conditioner contains and what is does not contain such as harmful chemicals, Teflon’s, Metal or Plastic Elements found in most of today’s technologies.
The problem with other "Treatments"The FE26 Premier™ Advantage over other ProductsMany products on the market place are synthetic reagent with reactive ions targeted toward ferrous-based metals. Their action is through carbon diffusion of ionic atoms into ferrous atomic spacing. They work by using short-chains molecule structure ( C 10 - C 13 ) even bonded, to achieve its final results of treating the metal. During their reactive cycle the load zone of ferrous based metals are affected in direct proportion to the amount of Time (T)x Heat (H)x Pressure (P) derived in any given friction/ferrous environment.
Although there are many Metal Treatments on the market today, technology has come a long ways in the last 3 years and some new advances have risen to achieve optimal results without reducing reliability. Most products have no additive packs or detergent packs of any sort. Most Metal Treatments have 5 main properties in their physical makeup; none of these properties are the same physical properties as engine, gear or hydraulic oils. Current lab testing results show that when adding Chlorinated Paraffin or Chlorinated Olephins to a base engine oil, no physical damage will occur, but chemical makeup of the oil will change allowing OEM specs of Phosphorus, Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium and other important detergents to be reduced by volume, which in return will not pass OEM factory specs. Also these types of additives can cause acid formations which in return, cause internal component damage and pitting.
A new formulation has come into play called FE26 Premier™ (Metal Treatment) which is designed using medium to long chain molecule structures ( C 14 - C 17 ) double bonded, to achieve better results than its predecessors on the market place. FE26 Premier™ has added stabilizing anti-oxidant formulation and very unique metal deactivators to assure that FE26 Premier™ performs well in engine applications and gear oils applications not changing the chemical make up of the oil the FE26 Premier™ is being added to. The oil acts like a delivery truck carrying the FE26 Premier™ to the asperities of the metals and forming a covalent, galvanic bond to the metal allowing a 5 to 8 micron penetration into the metal, creating a smooth less friction absorbing metal. FE26 Premier™ does not layer the metal or put a film over the top of the metal, FE26 Premier™ penetrates into the metal working with ferrous particulates within the oils environment, treating the metal, not the oil.
FE26 Premier™ has been ASTM tested and also independently tested to assure our product works. With over 20 ASTM and SAE test being performed on FE26 Premier™, end users in the Automotive, Trucking, Mining, Marine and Rail industry can rest assure that FE26 Premier™ is working hard to reduce down time maintenance. Utilizing today’s extreme work environment, FE26 Premier™ has been used in Diesel Engine applications, Gasoline Engine applications as well as gear box and manual transmissions. Reducing frictions means reducing heat, which in return you will see more productive equipment with less chance for a mechanical failure.
