1. CERMET NANOTECHNOLOGY HISTORY

1. Technology was discovered in late 1950’s
2. Used as a classified chemical technology until 1992
3. Used throughout the Russian Pacific Fleet on engines and gearboxes
4. Used to coat hulls of Russian Nuclear Submarines for friction reduction
5. Also used in tanks and weaponry

8. The original and main use of the CerMet technology was and is metal restoration and metal protection. It just happens to be a great ancillary byproduct that CerMet’s ceramic layer reduces friction and makes engines and mechanisms much more efficient thus saving fuel or energy significantly.
9. CerMet technology was awarded patent in 2007

2. NANO-PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY

1. CerMet is harder, stronger, and smoother than normal metals
2. Restores metal surfaces
3. Protects metal surfaces
4. Renews metal surfaces
5. Can increase compression in the cylinders
6. Can increase power and torque with less fuel consumption
7. Reduces friction significantly
8. Reduces fossil fuel consumption
9. CerMet nanoparticles are attracted to high level energy points (friction zones) only…it will not bond to anything else.
10. CerMet will not bond to any other part of the engine
11. CerMet will reduce harmful emissions (including CO, CH, and NOX) equal to the reduction of fuel consumption. This is the major reduction.
12. CerMet can reduce additional Harmful Emissions with the increased compression in the cylinders because there will be a cleaner and more thorough burn of the fuel, thus reducing additional CO and CH.

4. RETURN ON INVESTMENT

CerMet provides a great Return-On-Investment just in fuel savings alone. Other savings are provided by extended engine and part life, reduced maintenance, reduced replacement costs, and sometimes reduced oil consumption.

OUR GUARANTEE - CerMet provides a guarantee that any fleet will receive at least a 2:1 Return-on-Investment just in fuel savings alone.

NO RISK OPPORTUNITY – CerMet also provides a multi-million dollar insurance policy that will cover any damage done to any mechanism from a CerMet treatment. To date there has not been a single claim …and no evidence that there has ever been any detrimental affect on any mechanism throughout the history of this technology.

5. CERMET NANOTECHNOLOGY IN DETAIL

CerMet particles are small….very small….between 1 nanometer and 40 nanometers in diameter. To compare, a single sheet of paper is approximately 100,000 nanometers thick. CerMet Lab is able to manufacture and control the science in and around these particles and how efficiently they react with metal surfaces inside the friction zones. When material or elements are reduced to this scale they take on a new set of physics and energy dissimilar to their original state. This is called scaling factors. We all know how much energy splitting an atom creates…same theory.

CerMet nanoparticles utilize this new found energy to easily bond with high-energy points inside engines and mechanisms. CerMet needs approximately 900° F of energy to activate and be attracted to that energy. Where is that type of energy found? Only at the friction flash-points where metal is scraping against metal – regardless of lubrication. At the atomic level metal peaks on a metal part’s surface succumb to the violent interaction of other opposing part’s metal peaks. These metal atoms heat up to about 1500° F and attract our CerMet particles which will instantly bond to that peak thus beginning the physio-chemical process of coating and protecting this area in ceramic-metal material.

Once a friction zone is coated with CerMet it no longer produces 1500° F of energy, now only approximately 600 degrees, and thus the building process stops. Hence CerMet is self-regulating and won’t overbuild nor seize any mechanism. This process happens over and over until all of the friction zones are covered in the CerMet material thus slowing down or stopping the wear-out process of that mechanism.

Ceramic coatings are not new to the world. They have been used for decades here in the U.S. although the problem in their use has been the exorbitant cost. Typical ceramic coatings require the disassembly of engines and mechanisms, the parts are then sent out to be coated and sanded, then returned for reassembly and then the engine must be re-tuned. Not only is this process costly, but the added expense of downtime in all reality makes this method obsolete with little to no return-on-investment. Also, once you rebuild an engine, it never seems to run as efficient as it did from the factory.

CerMet nanoparticles only use the oil (or other lubricants) as a conduit to reach the friction zones. These particles float around, inert and inactive, until they drift near a friction flash point to which they become immediately attracted and activated and begin bonding to this specific surface area. CerMet is different from typical coatings in which they lay on top of the metal surface sometimes flaking away under extreme friction, load or pressure. Conversely, CerMet diffuses into the metal surface which provides an extreme and irremovable bond between the original metal and the new protective CerMet layer.

The four major factors of the wear-out process are; friction wear, metal fatigue (due to repeated load stress, friction, and heat), corrosion, and hydrogen britalization (due to the aging of oil). We all know that as soon as you begin to use a vehicle or mechanism it begins to wear out. CerMet reduces or stops the wear out process because it has an affect on each of these factors. CerMet reduces friction wear, reduces heat and metal fatigue, reduces corrosion, and reduces hydrogen britalization.

Engines and parts are manufactured with specific tolerances for ease-of-assembly, typically six to eight microns of clearance. It’s not like each engine is being custom built like a Formula-One racing engine. Adding CerMet to brand new engines does just this…it will decrease tolerances and increase compression and power while reducing friction and protecting it against corrosion and wear. CerMet layer ranges from one to three microns thick.

The benefits of CerMet (and ceramic material)

Ø CerMet creates a harder surface

Ø CerMet creates a smoother surface

Ø CerMet reduces friction significantly

Ø CerMet is dielectric and highly anti-corrosive

Ø CerMet is thermally insulating (heat reducing)

Ø CerMet is stronger in compression

A great analogy is the use, or non-use, of Synthetic Oils within certain industries. It is well known that synthetic oils or synthetic blends work very well. The problem is that it is currently too costly and doesn’t provide a good return-on-investment, if any at all. Similarly, everyone knows ceramic parts are more efficient and better in many ways and everyone would love to have ceramic coated engines…but it also is just too costly…until now. CerMet is the only technology that can coat engines and parts with ceramic without disassembly providing a great return on investment.

CerMet vs Oil Additives – In the U.S. this is the number one hurdle you will encounter during a sale. Most companies and almost all mechanics have tried countless Oil Additives that didn’t work for them. Please head this off at the beginning of every meeting – CerMet IS NOT an oil additive…it IS NOT an oil modifier, nor a lubricant. CerMet IS a metal restoration ceramic treatment and conditioner….once you add CerMet and let it work through the coating period the customer can change their oil as many times as they would like….CerMet will continue to be on the metal surface protecting and reducing wear and friction. CerMet only uses the oil or lubrication as a conduit to reach the friction zones.

How long does it take to begin working? CerMet begins to work immediately, but we like to have the customer wait approximately 2000 miles before considering an oil change. Please wait approximately 4000 miles if using synthetic oils. The new CerMet protective layer will last for 60,000 miles. A new single maintenance treatment will be needed to rebuild and continue the protection and reduction in friction for another 60,000 miles.

Ø Does it work with any fuel source? Yes, CerMet will work with any engine or mechanism regardless of the fuel source (gasoline, diesel, hydrogen, natural gas, propane…etc.).

Ø What can be treated? CerMet works with Engines, Gears, Bearings, or any metal-to-metal friction environment where lubrication is present.

Ø Why is CerMet better than older methods of ceramic coatings? CerMet provides a better bond with the metal surface, better friction reduction, and a delivery system that provides a great return-on-investment.

Ø CerMet Does Not void any warranty!

6. CERMET REDUCES FRICTION AND INCREASES POWER

The most important thing to understand about WHY CerMet works well is all based on the overall resistance formula. In a typical vehicle use scenario, the major causes of resistance are: heavy loads, road resistance, wind resistance, internal mechanical friction, short runs, bad driving habits and a few others. When all of these resistance variables are a factor, internal friction will be a smaller part of the overall resistance formula. Since CerMet reduces friction and doesn’t affect any of the other resistance variables above, it is only when internal friction becomes a major part of the overall resistance formula that CerMet really makes a difference.

7. TYPICAL SCENARIOS:

Typically, there is a consistent balance between all of these resistance variables with each individual fleet or vehicle. You will see some trucking companies average 5 miles per gallon (mpg) and others averaging upwards of 7 mpg. You will see small vehicle fleets typically averaging between 14 mpg to 28 mpg. The resistance variables exist in both cases but are at drastically different levels, thus creating the difference in mpg. Regardless of the usage, CerMet will typically decrease friction and decrease fuel consumption proportionately.

Keep in mind, some companies are hauling pillows across the country (very light load) and some are hauling bags of cement (very heavy load). Some companies are driving up and through the mountains (increasing load) and some are driving through the plains. So again, it’s all about each specific company’s fleet practices and how their mixture of these resistance variables will affect the outcome of CerMet treatments.

Two Extreme Cases:

1) When CerMet is used on Heavy Equipment (bulldozers...etc.) there is actually little fuel savings although there is significant metal restoration and protection increasing the longevity of the engine, gearbox and parts. The sales pitch here is strictly metal restoration, protection, heat reduction and increased longevity.

2) When CerMet is used on stand-alone generators there are no other resistance variables besides internal friction (and a small consistent load)….so, in turn, significant fuel savings is much higher than a vehicle scenario and return on investment is also increased. The sales pitch here is basically the significant ROI on fuel savings.

8. BENIFITS

Ø Fuel Savings & Harmful Emission Reduction

Return-On-Investment is immediate. You begin reducing fuel consumption immediately and saving money. Plus, don’t forget, we Guarantee Your ROI will be at least 2:1…typically it is much higher.

Ø Metal Restoration, Protection and Increased Lifespan

It doesn’t matter if you “lease” or “purchase” your equipment, but typically if you “own” your equipment you’re concerned about extending the life of that equipment to reduce replacement costs. Even though CerMet will restore and renew the parts, it is difficult to see a ROI through extended lifespan or less maintenance if you “lease.” i.e. in a short period of time.

Ø BOTH Fuel Savings and Increased Lifespan

For companies/individuals that own vehicles, you will see an immediate ROI on fuel savings and additional savings on extended part life (reduced replacement costs) and less maintenance.

Ø Reduction of Harmful Emissions

Many companies/individuals are becoming “green” or wanting to be “green” and reduce their Carbon Footprint on society. CerMet WILL reduce harmful emissions. This is a great added benefit!

9. TYPICAL RESULTS

Our numbers are based on “real-world” environments and averages and include variables such as: partial loads, lighter loads, idle time, and longer runs, which all help to make our percentages increase to these levels.

1. Long Haul Trucking / Rail = 7% to 13% Reduction in fuel consumption

WHY? This is a high number because even though tractor-trailers typically have heavy loads, once moving at a decent speed the load resistance is reduced because it now has momentum. These trucks also run a significant amount of time with partial or lighter loads and considerable idle time (where the other resistant variables are not present….just internal friction).

2. Small Vehicle Fleets (Cars, Vans) = 7% to 20%

WHY? This number is higher because there is less load and stress on the engine than larger heavier vehicles.

3. Generators = 10% to 30%

WHY? This number is higher because “internal friction” (and a small consistent load) is the major and only resistance within the overall resistance formula. All other resistance variables don’t exist nor interfere with the performance of CerMet.

4. Busses / Farm Equipment = 2% to 7%

WHY? This number is lower because the majority of the fuel-energy is being used to move the heavy equipment at slow speeds, thus internal friction losses are a much smaller part of the overall resistance formula.

5. Heavy Equipment / Waste management trucks…etc. = 1% to 4%

WHY? This number is lower because the majority of the fuel-energy is being used to move the heavy equipment at slow speeds, thus internal friction losses are a much smaller part of the overall resistance formula.

6. Machinery / Pumps / Compressors = up to 30% reduction in energy consumption.

WHY? This number is higher because “internal friction” (and a small consistent load) is the major and only resistance within the overall resistance formula. All other resistance variables don’t exist nor interfere with the performance of CerMet.
