MetShield
The greatest existing limitation to efficiency in engines, transmissions, differentials,
hydraulic systems, bearings, etc. is the unit's own inherent friction-caused inertia.
Over the years, this has been addressed with a wide range of products, such as fats
and tallow in ancient days, to today's high tech coatings and lubricant extenders
serving as additives to oils and greases.
Only marginal improvements to present day lubricants have been available, even with
all the additive products available today. In some cases no improvements at all,
and even detrimental effects have been found.
MetShield Metal Conditioner is exported globally by Global Energy Options (GEO).
MetShield, a special secret formula, is mainly a metal conditioner. It is suitable for
standard and high performance engines, diesel transport, marine, manufacturing and
especially for heavy industry applications.
MetShield Product Line include specialised industrial, automotive and marine product lubricants,
sprays and greases such as: EP Grease, Penetrating Spray Lube, High Tack Chain Lube.
MetShield products are supplied directly to both automotive and industrial sectors, providing
relief from frictions. Reduced wear and improved economy are the results of applying
MetShield to lubricants and greases.
MetShield has made a technological breakthrough, by actually modifying the surface of
ferrous metal a few microns deep, at the point of friction.
MetShield changes the molecular structure to produce a surface with a vastly lower coefficient
of friction, and thus more economical operations.
MetShield Overview
"Savings and efficiencies through advanced technology"
The more difficult the conditions the better our product performs compared to any
other lubricated ferrous metal environment. Wear at the interface between moving
parts is a normal characteristic of machine operation. The kind and the rate of
wear depend on the machine and the environment in which operated. Lubrication is
provided between moving surfaces to minimize the wear, but during the operation,
millions of minute wear particles enter the lubricant. The particles range in size
from several microns to a small fraction of a micron, for example, 20nm. Most of
the particles remain in the oil as stable colloids, and do not settle out if the
oil is withdrawn. Also present are millions of other particles which are not the
result of wear. They are introduced from the air or other contaminating sources.
The total number of particles from all sources is often astronomical and typically
may number 1012 per cm3.
These particles cause a chain reaction of pumice-like wear. With the presence of
MetShield Anti-Friction Metal Conditioner in the lubricant, this "wear sequence" is dramatically
reduced. The ability of MetShield Anti-Friction Metal Conditioner to condition the friction
surface not only slows wear and heat actions, it reduces the production of wear-induced
particles. The conditioned surfaces repel the suspended foreign matter, dramatically
increasing the machine's life, along with reducing the energy required to operate
the machine.
Unlike additives and petroleum-based products, which attempt to reduce friction
by coating or filling metal parts, MetShield achieves more than a 75% reduction in friction
in ferrous-based metals through a molecular change within metal surfaces. MetShield is
activated by heat and pressure, taking effect only on metal surfaces where friction
occurs. This chemical reaction forms a smoother and denser alloy in metal surfaces
to a depth of five microns, without residual build-up or change in tolerances of
working parts .
MetShield is carried by motor oil, transmission oil, hydraulic fluid, cutting fluids,
grease and water to areas of friction, dramatically reducing heat and wear without
changing the properties of the oil or other carrier fluids.
MetShield is cost effective, non-flammable, non-toxic non-carcinogenic, and anticorrosive.
It is designed to improve the performance of all petrol and diesel engines as well
as hydraulics and most metal to metal transmissions.
Test results in this document show conclusively that MetShield increases productivity
by dramatically decreasing friction, wear and tear and the need for maintenance.
Consequently, energy consumption drops and longevity of plant and machinery is extended.
Current lubrication technologies
There are numerous products on the market which claim to offer greater engine protection
than is available through normal lubricants. They are based on various technologies
but basically all attempt to improve the available lubricants or coat the surfaces
to be lubricated with a slippery compound.
There are four main areas in which these products fall. They are as follows:
1. Thickeners - marketed as lubricant extenders, they act by making lubricant oils
more viscous but do not improve lubricating qualities outside normal, existing parameters.
2. Metal Surface Lubricant - Molybdenum based products marketed as 'anti-knock'
or lubricant additives. Molybdenum is a silvery, metallic chemical used in alloys.
It consists of spherical shaped particles which fill in the irregular surfaces and
act as a barrier between the surfaces to be lubricated. These spheres can abrade
surfaces and can also reduce tolerances and clearances in oil way paths.
3. Graphite lead lubricant - Lead or graphite, incorporated as an additive. Graphite
is a soft form of carbon which fills in irregular surfaces and acts as a barrier
between the lubricated surfaces. It has a tendency to harden with heat and fracture
into pumice-like particles and has been known to induce excessive wear. Lead is
a heavy metal and is highly toxic. It is banned as a gasoline additive in many countries
and is being phased out throughout most of Europe.
4. Teflon PTFE - a polymer used for non sticking, slippery coatings. Surfaces are
coated with a thin layer of polymer. However Teflon has been known to detach from
surfaces in flakes and strings of particles which clog oil passages and filters.
Neither DuPont, the manufacturer of Teflon/PTFE nor General Motors recommend this
polymer for lubrication.
MetShield - a totally new and different solution
MetShield Metal Conditioner is synthetic, non-particulate, non-flammable and non-toxic.
It is designed to be used with lubricants and is only activated by ferrous-based
metals. It modifies the surface molecules of ferrous based metals, three to five
microns deep. It does not fill in the irregular surfaces or coat them.
Lubrication by creating smoother, harder surfaces.
MetShield has no fillings to shift and clog up your oil ways. MetShield has no coatings to detach
and harden. It will not abrade your parts' smooth surfaces or break down and react
with lubricants.
Additives usage - MetShield makes unnecessary the use of engine oil additives and other
treatments. If the engine has previously been treated with other products, MetShield will
penetrate these products and cause them to be eventually flushed away with oil changes.
MetShield ANTI FRICTION METAL CONDITIONER – BASIC INFORMATION
MetShield Is an anti-friction metal conditioner, lowering the coefficient of friction
dramatically. It is not a lubricant.
It is carried by motor oil, transmission oil, hydraulic fluid, air conditioning
oils and greases and most cutting oils to the friction points.
MetShield:
• does NOT contain PTFE, MOLY, GRAPHITE, CERAMICS or other such lubricant fortifiers
• reduces heat and extends parts life. Which will reduce downtime
• was designed to be carried by the existing lubricant. (Motor oil, transmission
fluid, gear lube, hydraulic fluid, grease, etc.)
• increases load bearing capacity when blended into heavy duty lubricants and greases.
• only works under Time - Heat - Pressure. (T - H - P), usually requiring a minimum
of 38 °C to begin activation
• pours at temperatures as low as -20 °C and withstands extreme operational temperatures.
• is NOT a surface coating. MetShield actually modifies the surface of ferrous metal,
3 to 5 microns deep
• is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY – NON TOXIC - NON FLAMMABLE
MetShield Features
MetShield product is a combination of chemicals so designed to perform a wide range of
functions.
In combination with ferrous metal and other metals along with the presence of heat
and pressure, an alloy is catalyzed. This alloy forms with or replaces the molecules
of ferrous iron with new molecules of harden alloys. These new alloys are shaped
by the confines of the application so that tolerances are maintained. To this combination
of chemicals are added: anti-oxidants, long chain alcohols for thermal stability,
HCL scavengers, anti foaming agents and hydrolytic stabilizers.
