How the technology works
CM technology is based on the diffusion of superhard carbon nanostructures (nanotubes and fullerenes) into the crystal lattice of metals. Under pressure and high temperatures, a three-dimensional metal-carbon network is created on the friction surface. The cells of this network retain oil through molecular interaction forces, ensuring a constant hydrodynamic friction regime.


The protective layer becomes one with the underlying metal surface, filling imperfections, scratches, and micro-burrs. The new layer has dielectric properties, significantly reducing electrochemical corrosion and hydrogen wear, and is highly resistant to abrasion and dynamic loads.


CM reduces wear on friction surfaces by 3-5 times, depending on the load. The metal-carbon network eliminates direct surface contact and dry friction; contact occurs carbon-on-carbon with a roughness exceeding grade 14.
Suitable for use with all types of motor, transmission and hydraulic oils, lubricants. Fullerenes, as powerful antioxidants, significantly improve the performance characteristics of oils and impart antioxidant capacity.


Using CM reduces the degradation of the base lubricant, extending its service life by up to 50%. It is used in all types of internal combustion engines and transmissions, compressors, gearboxes, chain and gear drives, fuel injection pumps, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, generator/fan/wheel bearings, and any other friction components. The particle size (0.2 µm) ensures their free passage through filters and eliminates the possibility of sedimentation. CM completely binds to the metal structure after 5 hours of operation.


CM is used as a fuel combustion catalyst. Due to nanodetonation ruptures of covalent bonds of carbon atoms under the conditions of the cylinder-piston group flash, the CM ensures a reduction in the ionization energy of oxygen, deeper oxidation of the fuel and completeness of its combustion.
Application
It is recommended to use the CM in vehicles with a mileage of at least 10,000 km, after the break-in period.

Primary treatment hardens the metal surface layer. Subsequent treatments maintain protective properties and are recommended regularly during each maintenance period.

Primary treatment should be performed by dissolving the CM in a container with the main lubricant (engine/transmission/hydraulic oil) and mixing thoroughly.

The total volume of the working fluid (oil + CM) should not exceed the maximum permissible level to avoid excess pressure and possible damage to seals and gaskets.

Before using the CM, shake the bottle thoroughly for 2 minutes.

Do not mix with any type of brake fluid!

Tribotechnical testing
Test setup and operating mode

The tests were carried out on an II-5018 friction machine. The characteristics of the base transmission oil Rowe 80W-90 were compared with oils containing Carbon Modifier, the “Suprotec” additive, as well as their combination.

 

Scheme: “disk-on-disk with 15 % slip”.

Specimen: d = 50 mm, h = 12 mm.

Counter-specimen: d = 50 mm, h = 10 mm.

Material: 30KhGSA steel, quenched, ground (Ra = 0.2–0.3 µm).

Lubrication: splashing by a moving specimen immersed in oil to a depth of 1–2 cm (volume 200 ml).

 

Operating mode:

  • rotation speed n = 1200 min⁻¹ (V ≈ 0.47 m/s)
  • load P = 700 N
  • test duration – 180 minutes
 

Recorded parameters:

  • friction resistance torque M (N·m)
  • load P (N)
  • oil temperature in chamber T (°C)
  • number of cycles N
 

Wear of the specimen (lower disk – Δmo) and the counter-specimen (upper disk – Δmк/o) was determined by weighing before and after testing on AV210M-01A analytical scales with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mg, while the counter-specimen crater area was determined by photography and software planimetry with an accuracy of up to 1 mm².

Key conclusions
Carbon Modifier

Adding Carbon Modifier to Rowe 75W-90 transmission oil slightly increases the friction coefficient and oil temperature, while reducing the overall wear intensity by approximately 5 times.

Suprotec

The “Suprotec” additive increases the friction coefficient by approximately 14 %, however, it slightly reduces oil temperature and decreases wear intensity by about 2 times.
