   Boron-CLS-Bond™ Technology Overview
 


The simple explanation, which follows below, is intended to provide you with a basic understanding of the Boron-CLS-Bond™ function and performance benefits. This product has been independently tested at world-renowned research and testing laboratories and is currently used by major industries and the US military for its proven and designed applications. This is truly a product that meets a real need thus creating an authentic opportunity for all.

Development and Product Description
The origin of the product goes back to 1966 when the branch of Science called Tribology was formally established. Tribologists are the scientists who study and research fluid systems to search for ways to reduce friction and the wear that friction causes. In 1995 Tribologists working at the prestigious Dept Of Energy's Argonne National Research Laboratory, managed by the University of Chicago, made a breakthrough discovery. They found a way to permanently bond the surfaces of a fluid system with a super hard (85% the hardness of a diamond) solid surface lubricant. Tribologists call it a "solid boundary lubricant" or Boron-CLS-Bond™.

Disadvantages of motor oil as a "Liquid Boundary Lubricant"
Your vehicles' engine and the motor oil circulating in it is a fluid system. The purpose of the motor oil is to reduce the friction and wear between the moving metal surfaces, which contact each other.

Because motor oil is liquid, it is not able to prevent the engine's moving metal surfaces from touching and wearing. In fact, by the time your engine's oil requires changing (every 3000 miles in most cases), the dirty oil contains more than one million (1,000,000) tiny metal wear particles measuring ten (10) microns or smaller in size. These particles are the most damaging because they are small enough to fit between the engine's moving parts and further score and gouge the precision metal surfaces. It is literally like sand blasting the inside of your engine.

New fresh new oil is somewhat able to prevent excessive wear at first, but as the oil suffers degradation and breakdown from heat, dirt and chemical contamination it allows more and more surface contact and consequently more wear in your engine. Ironically, the anti-wear additives in the oil become acidic over time and will begin to pit the metal surfaces causing further wear and damage.

Providing the greatest possible surface protection from wear and friction is the purpose and goal of Tribology. The technology development we are discussing here represents the leading edge of this science and is the most effective solution yet discovered.

Advantages of a Boron-CLS-Bond™, a "Solid Boundary Lubricant"
Now, let's compare any engine oil or liquid lubricant, including all synthetic oils, to a solid boundary lubricant. To better understand the concept of a "solid boundary lubricant", imagine freezing a permanent micro thin layer of ice on all the metal surfaces inside the engine. This is exactly what Boron-CLS-Bond™'s "solid boundary lubricant" protection is like.

 
     80% reduction of friction inside the engine  
 
 

The same as with the example of the ice, our bonded solid surface coating, Boron-CLS-Bond™ is super slippery. So, the first advantage we realize is an eighty percent (80%) reduction in the friction between all moving surfaces inside the engine. All of the treated and bonded moving metal surfaces now glide freely with much less friction and heat. It is like gliding on a layer of smooth ice. Less friction means your engine can deliver more horsepower while using less fuel. Fuel savings of between (5) five and ten percent (10%) are standard. Horsepower gains are in the same five (5) to ten percent (10%) range as well. We now spend less money on fuel and get more performance in the way of better fuel mileage and increased horsepower.

 
 
     90% reduction of wear inside the engine  
 
 

Another major benefit of Boron-CLS-Bond™ is the lifetime protection of the engine's metal surfaces from damaging metal-to-metal contact. Boron-CLS-Bond™ reduces wear inside the engine by ninety percent (90%). The engine will now last two to three times longer and perform like new.

 
 
     Restores the mechanical efficiency of the engine  
 
 
The restored mechanical efficiency of the engine is yet another benefit related to performance (horsepower and fuel mileage) and air pollution. For example, over time the surfaces of your engine's pistons wear. You spend more and more money on fuel and get less and less performance and power from your engine. The toxic exhaust emissions are also much greater from a sloppy fitting worn engine.

 
 
     Extends the oil drain interval up to 6,000 miles  
 
 

One of the greatest financial and environmental benefits realized from Boron-CLS-Bond™ technology is the extension of the engine's oil drain service interval from every 3000 miles to up to 6,000 miles - or the manufacturer's maximum recommended interval. This is possible due to the superior and permanent lubrication protection provided by the "solid boundary lubricant" in Boron-CLS-Bond™.

The millions of tiny metal particles, once present in the oil from the constant surface wearing, no longer occur. These metal particles are the primary cause of the oil's deterioration. This happens because the metal particles retain heat and react chemically with the oil leading to oxidative breakdown.

The significant financial savings from fewer oil service changes is obvious; however, less well known is the major environmental challenge of dealing with the billions of gallons of waste oil generated each year.

It is estimated that 2 million gallons of carcinogenic motor oil are dumped in American waterways each year and another 8 million tons of oil are spilled into the world's oceans every year. The effect of Boron-CLS-Bond™ on two of the world's most challenging environmental issues concerning air and water pollution is immense.

Every consumer who buys and uses this product becomes a self-empowered pro-active partner for environmental clean-up and restoration. Simply put, by helping yourself you help the World!
