-NO EQUAL IN THE WORLD--NO EQUAL IN THE WORLD-

Introduction:  The success of conventional lubricating oils is based upon maintaining a high film strength oil barrier between two surfaces moving relative to each other.  Resistance, defined as friction, can be sliding or rolling or even caused by the shearing action of a lubricant attempting to separate two surfaces.  Most commercial lubricants are reasonably capable of doing the job for which they are intended, but Prolong is a patented new lubricant which takes normal lubrication a step further.

 Lubrication Types:  The majority of lubricants are either natural (paraffin, napthene, asphalt esters, polymers), solids (graphite, molybdenum disulfide, Teflon) or greases (oils with various organic or inorganic thickeners).  Prolong lubricants contain only pure petroleum and petroleum additives, and perform without the negatives associated with solid particle additives.  Prolong blends easily with other lubricants and is most effective at a 10-15% mix.

 Mechanics of Prolong:  Friction converts to heat from the billions of collisions of microscopic metal peaks on the surfaces of the moving parts.  With ordinary oil, these peaks impact each other and usually immediately break off, creating “wear metals” that are often visible in used oil.  Prolong, by contrast, magnetically adheres to these “metal peaks” causing bending, folding or flattening rather than breakage.  This flattening greatly increases the total potential contact between the two surfaces, thus providing more surface area over which to distribute the load. 

 Normal lubricants tend to migrate away from the high heat sources while Prolong’s strong ionic charge creates a tendency for it to bond to the metal surface and integrate itself into the structure itself.  This bonding is maintained at the extreme temperatures mentioned above.  As wear takes place, this cycle of bonding and integrating repeats itself into the next layer and re-establishes the same low friction and wear characteristics of Prolong at a constant self healing rate thereafter.  The healing of seized surfaces means that incipient failures can now be slowed or stopped, allowing an extra buffer of time before ultimate failure.

 Sand and Grit:  Sand, or other abrasive grit, when introduced between moving surfaces, creates an entirely different seizure phenomenon than friction from microscopic peaks colliding.  It is well known that when sand gets into conventionally lubricated bearings there is almost immediate grinding away or seizing of the mating surfaces.  Prolong oil, through extensive testing, has proven to prevent this typical seizure.  Additionally, an ammeter monitoring frictional drag shows momentary rise in consumed energy, possibly while the sand is being crushed, followed by a decrease in current draw, back to about the same level as before the sand was added.

Prolong’s AFMT/Engine Treatment Exclusive Advantages:

• Bonding effect prevents it from easily “draining away” when engine or machine is stopped thereby reducing “dry start” wear phenomenon.

•  Reduced friction means lower energy (fuel & oil) consumption, increased horsepower and improved overall performance.

•  Lower operating temperatures mean longer oil life due to slower breakdown of engine oil.

•  Reduced wear means longer service life for your engine and fewer costly repairs.

•  Does not contain any solid particles (Teflon, Moly, Lead, Magnesium or Graphite) that may cause harmful build-up in passages and filters.
