NanoLub

This article is from 2009. Has anyone ever gotten a hold of this or have any idea how much it costs for a bottle? If it is really good, why isn't it in any stores or available to buy online?

The superlubricity of the NanoLub particles was demonstrated by the group of Professor J. M. Martin of Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France.

Their experiments demonstrated that when NanoLub was used as an additive to oil, it caused a very low friction coefficient and low wear. From the characterization performed after friction, several phenomena have been proposed to explain these friction reducing properties.

NanoLub’s fullerenes delamination, formation of a tribofilm made of WS2 sheets on the surfaces, superlubricity of the sheets and a rolling effect of the particle. According to the conclusions of the work of the French group a combination of all these effects can explain the excellent tribological (friction and wear reduction) properties of NanoLub.

The tests found that NanoLub caused also a reduction in engine temperature and noise. Tests also showed that NanoLub did not harm the engine when it was added to engine oil.

e test at the FZG Gear Research Centre follows other tests done by Dr. Adrian Oila of Newcastle University, England, on gears with heavy duty gear oil that was blended with NanoLub powder.

No wear damage to the steel lubricated with the NanoLub oil could be observed with an optical microscope, while significant wear was observed for the reference oil. The presence of a beneficial tribofilm was detected on the gears lubricated with the NanoLub formulation. The tribofilm continues to lubricate the moving parts also in cases where the oil supply is interrupted


uh so does pert plus... but its not a nannylubber?

I used it on Wind Turbine pitch motor gear teeth and gear rim teeth. It was not effective.
