Engine Oil Additives FM-Protect and FM-Conditioner
Nano Materials and Processes, Inc. (NMPI) has developed high-performance engine oil additives that use nanodiamond crystals (ND) suspended in motor oil to improve engine efficiency and reduce wear. These additives come in two versions: FM-Protect™ for high-performance and racing applications, and FM-Conditioner™, which contains trace metals and is used for older, worn engines.
The nanodiamond crystals used in these products are tiny (2-6 nanometers) and have unique properties, including being electrically charged, adsorptive, and catalytic. Their small size allows them to penetrate the micro-irregularities on metal surfaces, effectively "hardening" the surfaces and making them more durable by reducing wear and increasing lubrication. The crystals are even able to perform in situations where lubrication might be lost, minimizing potential damage to engine components.
Key benefits of NMPI’s engine oil additives include:
- Reduced wear due to improved lubrication.
- Enhanced combustion efficiency, reducing soot and contaminants like COx and NOx.
- Lower operating temperatures, thanks to the excellent heat conductivity of nanodiamonds.
- Extended oil life by reducing soot, nitration, and other contaminants.
In independent testing, the additives have shown significant improvements in engine efficiency and longevity. For instance, in refuse collection vehicles, the additives reduced electro-spark erosion and improved combustion efficiency.
In NASCAR®, the products have been tested and proven to:
- Reduce engine temperature, leading to better aerodynamics and reduced drag.
- Improve engine response and performance.
- Increase horsepower (6-8 hp on engine dynamometer, 13 hp on chassis dynamometer).
- Extend the lifespan of engine components, allowing parts to be reused instead of replaced.
Overall, NMPI's FM™ engine oil additives provide a competitive edge, making them a valuable tool for both everyday vehicle maintenance and high-performance applications like racing.
