Testimonial Of Engineer Agim Maluka Of Albanian Constructors Association "I am the chief engineer of the Albanian Constructors Association and had done some prior research on Motor Silk™, so was excited to learn it was to be introduced into the Albanian market. I have treated the engine of my own personal vehicle a Golf II 1.9 TD with the OA as I have a lot of interest from members of my federation but some were skeptical to try it. I have been running the treatment for a month and report that the engine starts quicker on a morning, the car seems more powerful and there are far less exhaust fumes. I have achieved approx. 8% fuel saving after 2 weeks using only the Oil Additive. As a result of this I have published an article in our company newsletter which goes to all of our federation members and on public sale as well. I intend to carry on using this product in combination with the DFA and will recommend to all federation members."

Testimonial of Helios Travel Bus Services Blv. Zogu I ,Tirana, Albania Helios Travel run a fleet of 10 buses daily to a number of cities in Greece and Italy. Both buses tested ran previously at approximately 3.5 km to a litre. We have tested the oil additive (OA) and diesel fuel additive (DFA) combined on one of our buses and OA only on another. The first bus a 60 seater 5000cc Mercedes Benz has one million kilometers on the clock. After treating this bus with the OA the bus started a journey to Athens. The oil filter was changed after 200 km and had completely clogged with varnish and debris etc. It was changed again after another 400 km as it had blocked again with further sludge and varnish. As a result of this the quality of the oil on this bus has been raised by a bar. The bus feels much lighter to drive and runs more smoothly and more powerfully. The bus has now been running for one month with the OA treatment. The second bus is a 60 seater Bova bus with 350,000 km on the clock. After the OA treatment the oil filters were changed at the same intervals as the first bus and were also clogged with removed sludge and varnish etc. This bus was also treated with DFA as well. It took two journeys to Athens and back to start to see the fuel savings however after this time (approx 1000 km) the fuel savings recorded were 15%. This bus was also running lighter and smoother however the difference was even more noticeable on the older bus.

The heat and friction of extrusion requires lubrication to avoid distortion of extruded parts and excessive wear of extrusion molds. ALMAG conducted a test program using Boron-CLS-Bond™ Mold Release Fluids. In this particular test, the process took aluminum billets and ended up with Ford F150 running boards. Before using Boron-CLS-Bond™ Mold Release, the billet extrusion rate was 77 feet per hour at 2,200 psi; after using Boron-CLS-Bond™ Mold Release the extrusion rate went up to 120 feet per hour at only 1,650 psi.
The extrusion rate increased 56% and the pressure required dropped 25%. Subsequently cutting and stamping produced 24 units per hour before using Boron-CLS-Bond™ and 40 units per hour after; a 67% increase. Overall ALMAG reported that after switching to Boron-CLS-Bond™ Mold Release Fluids what typically would have taken 7 working days was produced in 4.3 days; a 67% increase in production efficiency not to mention that Boron-CLS-Bond™ fluid is biodegradable thus disposal issues were eliminated.
Based upon the success at ALMAG the following companies have placed orders or are testing Mold Release Fluids for stamping, and/or extrusion processes: Atlas Fluids. Ultra-Fit, Indalex, Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical, Caledon Tubing, Roteca, and Schuler Hydroforming. Magna International uses our lubricants worldwide increasing productivity while reducing energy cost and component failure, BMW, and Mercedes are now using our fluids in their manufacturing facilities as is Chrysler, Dodge and Ford.

Although a direct competitor with Martinrea, the two companies work together to improve manufacturing processes and productivity. Based upon information provided by Martinrea and an abbreviated test evaluation program, Magna has issued instructions to all 46 of its worldwide facilities to switch over to Boron-CLS- Bond™ lubricants. This process formally began in February of 2005.

Johns-Manville uses high temperature (600 degree) ovens in over 16 manufacturing plants world wide to make a particular line of products. Lubricants historically used on the chain drives, gears, bearings and sprockets built up large amounts of coked up varnish and carbonized gum. This buildup required daily oven shutdowns where workers had to chip off the buildup by hand. The impact on productivity was significant.
A custom Boron-CLS-Bond™ High Temperature lubricant was formulated to eliminate this problem. Shutdowns for conveyor cleaning now only occur every two to four weeks. Unfortunately the Boron-CLS-Bond™ product required changes in the lubrication spray mechanism of almost $500,000 per plant. To date four plants have been converted and the remaining conversion are taking place over an 18 month period.
The High Temperature Lubricant developed for Johns-Manville has resulted in variations being developed for other high temp applications such as forging, stamping and soot boxes.

At the request of BP's risk management department, BP Southern California was supplied with several cases of LubriSilk™ High Performance Aerosol Lubricant. BP was having a serious problem with fuel handling and delivery where lids and caps on ground tanks were sticking.
After a month long evaluation,BP determined that use of this product kept the caps and lids from sticking or freezing. It swelled the tank seals, making for better closure, and displaced existing corrosion and prevented new corrosion of the metal parts of the lids, caps and tank openings. These tests were expanded to the western United States with the same outcome and resulted in the change to LubriSilk™ High Performance Aerosol Lubricant for all fuel handlers worldwide.

A significant problem with corrosion of compression blades between manufacture and receipt of shipment has caused Atlas Copco a problem. We designed and tested Boron-CLS-Bond™ formulation that complies with all EU requirements and meets or exceeds all ASTM requirements for formulation and specified its use in all compressors as an OEM lubricant and anti-corrosion treatment prior to shipment.

Several years ago Wellstream of Florida evaluated LubriSilk™ No.2 grease for use in the manufacture of extraction tubes for recovery of gas and oil at offshore platforms. Test showed that use of LubriSilk™ greases increased the useful life of the tubes by a factor of 6 times. It was then specified as the only grease acceptable for use in the manufacture of these tubes. Subsequently the parent company in the United Kingdom evaluated it against a number of competitively supplied products for expanded use in grease applications on the platforms themselves and is using LubriSilk™ greases exclusively to eliminate corrosion while offering a high EP.

Company Overview: Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (NYSE:CBI) is a global engineering and construction company specializing in the design and engineering, fabrication, field erection and repair of bulk liquid terminals, storage tanks, process vessels, low temperature and cryogenic storage facilities and other steel plate structures and their associated systems.
CB&I was founded in 1889 and primarily serves customers in the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, electric and gas utility, pulp and paper and metals and mining industries.
CB&I uses large numbers of diesel powered generators with both Caterpillar and John Deere engines. In a multi-month test of diesel generators at construction sites in the Port of Long Beach, CA, use of Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine Treatment and Fuel System Treatment resulted in their reporting increased fuel economy in a Cat power 85KV generator of almost 50%. Subsequently, CB&I addressed a problem generator line (400KV CAT powered) that had notoriously poor fuel economy and operating performance.
Having installed the Boron-CLS-Bond™ technology the elected to double the concentration from the recommended 1-1000 to 1-500 parts; after 300 hours of operation the fuel consumption dropped from 9.4 GPH to 4.4 GPH - a 114% improvement in fuel economy. At that point the recommended concentration of 1-1000 was used for another 300 plus hours. The fuel consumption rose to 6.0GPH - a 57% improvement in fuel consumption. At this point they elected to discontinue the Boron-CLS-Bond™ technology and ran the generator for another 300+ hours, the fuel consumption rose to 8.2 GPH - still a 15% improvement.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Achieves New Heights in Fuel Economy. Not only had CB&I initiated a program to use the Boron-CLS-Bond™ technology in all its generators but is also evaluating use in its entire fleet of vehicles. These results were also reported to both Cat and John Deere and both have initiated evaluation programs of their own.

Work with CN Rail began with an environmental and Lubrication problem related to all switches. Historically used engine oil was applied once a week to all switches to lubricate them and make them easier to switch - particularly in severe weather conditions and under high repetition rates. Typically these switches required hand lubrication every week and the high traffic switches in the inter-model yards (which average 1,200 switches per day) required hand lubrication every hour. A special version of Boron-CLS-Bond™ Gear Oil Conditional diluted with synthetic PAO was developed for CN Rail and was a huge success as well as biodegradable.
The normal switches now only require lubrication every six weeks and the high traffic switches have gone from every hour to once a week. Furthermore, the Boron-CLS-Bond™ lubricant was formulated into a water base "switch paint" which is pigmented so it can be readily observed in heavy traffic areas. The success of Boron-CLS-Bond™ Switch lubricant led CN Rail to test other Boron-CLS-Bond™ products in its inter-model yards. The grease and Hydraulic fluid in the Hyster and Fantuzi mobile cranes experienced a chronic problem related to wear, downtime and leakage requiring catch skirts around each crane making relocation tedious.
When changed out with Boron-CLS-Bond™ High Performance #2 grease and High Performance Hydraulic Fluid the leaking stopped and the downtime decreased to the point were CN Rail terminated the lease on 15% of its cranes. This represented over a 15% increase in productivity of the cranes and each crane cost more than $500,000 annually to lease. In all, almost $5,000,000 will be saved from reduced crane leases expense alone and CN rail has made good use of the fact that it has switched to Boron-CLS-Bond™ "Green" lubricants in its inter modal yards.
Expanding on this success, all inter-modal yards are now switching to Boron-CLS-Bond™ High Performance Aerosol Lubricants for general purpose lubrication and anti-corrosion use. The success of the grease and Switch paint has lead to the use of #1 and #00 greases in their automatic track grease applications where grease is shot onto the insides of the rails in turns to prevent accelerated wear of the expensive curved rail sections. Tests are now under way on top-of-rail lubrication to spray from behind the engine to reduce friction between the railcar wheels and the track, yielding improved fuel economy. And finally, the engine and fuel system treatments are now being tested in the locomotive engines with an eye toward reduced maintenance and improved fuel economy.
These activities have not gone unnoticed by other railroad operations. This industry cooperates closely on cost savings and labor technologies. Most of the above described products are now being used or evaluated by Canadian Pacific, Rail America, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Florida East Coast, and rail companies in France.

American Guardian Warranty Services is one of the nation's largest aftermarket providers of both warranty programs and warranty reinsurance. After a great deal of research on Boron-CLS-Bond™, AGWS persuaded its warranty agents to incorporate Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine and Transmission Treatment with all the warranties they wrote, particularly on high mileage vehicles.
After two years accumulation of actuarial data on over 4,000 high mileage (90,000+ miles average) vehicles, AGWS concluded that the Boron Technology had reduced their per vehicle warranty expense related to drive train almost 40%. AGWS the designed their warranty policy incorporating Boron-CLS-Bond™ products and has data on over 7,000 vehicles supporting its original findings. AGWS has translated their savings into a very competitive warranty program that is experiencing great success in the market place and is now the only "non automotive dealer" approved to sell warranty policies in California and Florida.

We introduced Motor Silk™ Engine Treatment to Dodge Racing in "blue printed" engines undergoing dynamometer testing at the Dodge Racing test facility. Results consistently showed a 2% increase in horsepower of "full power pulls" leading the test crew to state that Motor Silk™ is the only surface technology that showed measureable results and that a 2% improvement was "a huge improvement".
This success has lead to the development of several custom lubricants being developed for Dodge Racing as well as the use of LubriSilk™ products such as gear oil and high performance greases.
Success in the race department has led to fleet tests at Daimler-Chrysler Transport where class 8 diesel engines in vehicle transport carriers used Motor Silk™ Engine Treatment which resulted in all test vehicles achieving a significant improvement in fuel economy, averaging 17%, with a low of 15.9% and a high of 18.4%. Presently three locations and over 800 carriers are using both Motor Silk™ Engine Treatment and Fuel Treatment saving over US$850,000 annually on 250 trucks at one location alone.
The evaluation program has escalated at Daimler-Chrysler to current fleet testing of gasoline engines in both winter and summer regimes.

A testing program was initiated for both gasoline and diesel engines. The diesel engine test included class 6 and class 8 trucks. The diesel fuel test evaluated the combined use of Motor Silk™ Diesel Fuel Treatment and Engine Treatment. On the initial test vehicles the class 6 engines achieved a 19.8% increase in fuel economy and the class 8 engines achieved a 28.3% increase in fuel economy.
The conclusion of the DOT personnel was that the diesel results were "too good to be true" and they should be repeated to confirm the results. The repeated diesel engine test achieved the same result as the original test. The Bureau of Budget fuel economy test determined that the average improvement in fuel economy for their Ford Taurus vehicles was 3 miles per gallon - a 13.6% improvement.
Mississippi DOT supported by Governor Haley Barber and Senators Loft and Cochran has instituted a statewide program to incorporate the use of Motor Silk™ products in all vehicles. That program is well under way with over 25% of the counties having set up programs to use this technology. The DOT recently reported that the original diesel engine test engines have continued to use the Fuel Treatment and the results to the class 6 and 8 engines have increase to MPG improvements of 37% and 49% respectively.
The success of the Mississippi DOT program has led to the institution of similar programs in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Nevada and Louisiana.

In testing protocols in the United States and in operating situations in Iraq have experienced increased fuel economy, more power and less maintenance in their vehicles and improved firing characteristics in all weapons tested without heat shutdown (M16's, M60's, 50 Calibers etc). Both Boron-CLS-Bond™ Gasoline and Engine Treatment have been evaluated in Special Operations Watercraft. We package it for shipment, they pick it up and we do not know exactly where it goes.
A "supplier" to Special Operations Command has applied to the Department of Defense for a grant to expand testing of the product line.
Based upon information received from various Special Operations Command sources, American General has purchased Boron-CLS-Bond™ Diesel Fuel and Engine Treatment for use in Middle East Humvees, the results recorded improved fuel efficiency from 4.7 to 7.9 and top end speed from 58 to 70 mph, many of the results for weapons and vehicles and confidential and not shared with us.

Testing for fuel efficiency for the Puerto Rico fleet of police cars has lead to a commitment to purchase Boron-CLS-Bond™ Treatments for all 4,000 police cars. The results show an increase in fuel economy of just over 15%. Their tests have also allowed them to change their oil change cycle from 3,000 to 12,000 miles. The Puerto Rico Power Company and National Bus Company AMA are currently running tests.

A major theme park initiated a testing program on used and rebuilt Class 6 diesel bus engines. Results indicated a 20% to 25% improvement in horsepower on the dynamometer test stand. The evaluation moved into fleet field use where tests were expanded to include Boron-CLS-Bond™ Diesel Fuel Treatment alone and in combination with the Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine Treatment. Results across the fleet showed an increase in fuel economy of 10% using the Boron-CLS-Bond™ Diesel Treatment alone and a 19% increase in combination with the Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine Treatment.

In testing protocols in the United States and in operating situations in Iraq, Special Operations units have experienced increased fuel economy, more power and lower maintenance in their vehicles. The results have shown improved fuel efficiency from 4.7 to 7.9 miles per gallon (a 70% increase) and top end speed increase from 58 to 70 mph.
Based upon information received from various Special Operations Command sources, American General has purchased Boron-CLS-Bond™ Diesel Fuel and Engine Treatment for use in Middle East Humvees.

The Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) tests Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine and Diesel treatment with enthusiastic results.
At the Technion Institute in Haifa Israel, successful testing of both the Boron-CLS-Bond™ Engine Treatment and Diesel Fuel Treatment on fuel consumption and emissions in a diesel engine is rallying much support, especially from the Institute itself.
Dr. Gutman, one of four supervising the test, is a name known throughout Israel as a leading authority on fluid systems and highly regarded in his field of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Gutman proclaims that Boron is the future of lubrication because it is non-toxic, forms a self replenishing covalent bond to the surface with a friction coefficient under 0.01%, is 100% anti-corrosive and offers high Extreme Pressure (EP), thus Boron itself can replace a multitude of toxic additives in the oil while increasing miles per gallon, reducing emissions, extending the life of the components, increases horsepower and it is biodegradable.
Dr. Gutman has been contacting major fleets in transportation and the military to inform them of the results realized at Technion. Ears are listening since the science proves the results and not antidotal.
Presently, the Ministry of Transportation of over 3000 buses is taking the next step as is the Ministry of Defense; also supporting the promotion of the Boron Lubricant technology is the Ministry of Environment who has been searching for a practical and effective means to reduce emissions and they say they have found it. With particulate matter (PM) reduced as high as 58% and fuel consumption reduced as high as 10% the implications are staggering saving millions annually while reducing pollution.
Companies all over Israel are being contacted and sent the report from Technion presenting how they can reduce fuel cost and emissions with a proven and well tested lubrication breakthrough and many are responding. It is only a matter of time before Boron-CLS-Bond™ will be in thousands of vehicles as well as heavy equipment and manufacturing in Israel. As Dr. Gutman stated, Boron is the wave of the future.

After 10 months of testing Boron-CLS-Bond™ High Performance Synthetic grease on the North Sea Offshore Oil Rigs, the only grease to past the preliminary test has surpassed all expectations and is now in its final test in which North Sea is spending $70,000 based upon their confidence established over the past year. The major problem facing these extreme environments is corrosion and the ability for the grease to keep bearings lubricated even in high salt spray conditions.
The Boron-CLS-Bond™ biodegradable Grease is a breakthrough in lubrication protection due to the Boron technology including no toxic additives used which are found in most greases on the market. In contrast to Calcium Sulfanate used as a thickener and not desirable in water spray off environments, Boron-CLS-Bond™ greases use Fume Silica which are quartz crystals milled into a powder, expensive yet outperforms any thickener on the market and has an extremely low 1.9% water washout making it a necessity under turbulent salt water conditions.
The Boron in the grease eliminates the need for any anti-corrosion additives since it is 100% anti-corrosive, also the elimination of Moly or graphite as EP additives since Boron-CLS-Bond™ grease has the highest 90+ Timken load score and as far as lubricity Dr. Erdemir, the developer of Boron as a solid boundary and self replenishing lubricant, has received many awards including the R&D award for 1 out of 100 top new breakthroughs in a new innovative technology (1991) and the Edmond Bisson Award (1998) from the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers for the lowest surface friction coefficient (under 0.01%) in lubrication history. According to a North Sea Rig spokesperson, the tests are looking great and they are pleased to have been introduced to a lubrication technology they did not know existed. Good news travels fast and the Scandinavian rail in Norway along with major construction companies, fleets, shipping and manufacturing have tested and ordered the Boron-CLS-Bond™ and Boron-CLS-Bond™ line of products.
