1) What is BORPower®?

BORPower^® is a nanotechnological product with exceptional tribological properties. BORPower^® is an all-purpose nano lubricant additive for 4-stroke gasoline, gas and Diesel engines. It is the most effective lubricant additive among popular solid lubricant additives. BORPower^® takes advantage of the nano-crystalline nature of its active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron. These extremely small particles help to drastically reduce friction and abrasion on working metal surfaces using the hard-coating and bearing-ball effect.

2) What is the benefit for me and my car when I use BORPower®?

BORPower^® is a nano lubricant additive, whose benefits arise from the active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron. BORPower^® works by building up boron metal films in the motor which have a hardness of around 9 Mohs – almost as hard as diamond with a hardness of 10 Mohs. These boron metal films offer a long-lasting, heat-resistant protection against friction and wear in the engine, increasing the engine power by up to 9%. When BORPower^® reduces friction and wear in the engine, the vehicle has a smaller fuel consumption (up to 15% less), the motor life is prolonged and the motor produces less noise. BORPower^® also saves the environment, since the vehicle emission of CO2 and other pollutants decrease similarly as the fuel consumption. Less friction also means lower temperatures in the engine, which lowers the burn-up and degradation of the motor oil. In fact, BORPower^® increases the motor oil’s life time by up to 100%.

3) Are there any adverse effects on my car when I apply BORPower®?

The active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron of BORPower^® are chemically inert. Since the MCDP and nano boron particles are extremely small (few nanometers), they do not clog the tiny oil ducts in the motor. The boron particles are not agglutinant and do not pollute the motor oil. Boron is a well-known high-tech lubricant, which is extremely stable even at the very large temperatures and pressures apparent in a running engine. Because of these exceptional properties of BORPower^®’s active ingredients, no adverse effects or motor damage occur when applying BORPower^®.

4) What are differences between BORPower® and existing lubricant products on the market?

BORPower^® is the most efficient nano lubricant additive on the market. The active ingredient nano boron has the lowest friction coefficient among popular solid lubricant additives. BORPower^®’s working principle is physical and not chemical as is it with most other lubricant additives. This makes BORPower^® more effective and long-lasting than chemical additives. BORPower^® is not harmful to the engine such as most chemical additives, which are highly aggressive in particular at high temperatures. For more information, please have a look at the page ProductsBORPower^® S-250 of this website.

5) Is there any degradation of the function of the motor oil when I apply BORPower®?

No, the active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron of BORPower^® are chemically inert and extremely stable in particular under the high temperatures and pressures apparent in a running engine. In contrast, the motor oil’s lifetime is extended by up to 100%, since BORPower^® drastically reduces friction and heat development in the engine. Thus, BORPower^® does not degrade but supports the function of the motor oil, since oil burn-up and pollution is lowered when applying BORPower^®.

6) What happens when BORPower® is mixed with high-performance synthetic motor oils? Is the function of these oils deteriorated or is the motor damaged?

The purpose of a motor oil is basically to build up a lubricating film between working metal surfaces in the motor. The main purpose of this lubrication film is to reduce friction. Without it, the working metal surfaces would grind so heavily on each other that extensive amounts of frictional heat are developed. The cause of this heat development is extreme abrasion and wear of the metal surfaces leading shortly to irreversible damage of the engine (piston jamming). The ability of the motor oil to build up the protective lubrication film is heavily dependant on the temperature of the motor oil. The “ideal” motor oil has a low viscosity and a good wetting behaviour for temperatures ranging from -30°C (engine start in the winter) to several hundreds of °C (250km/h on the high-way). It is chemically stable under high temperatures and pressures and does not burn-up while the engine runs.

Unfortunately, no real motor oil can satisfy all these requirements at the same time. That is, all of the available motor oil products on the market are tailored for specific motor uses. For example, a motor oil for use in the winter is particularly “thin” already at low temperatures.

When applying BORPower^®, the task of reducing friction in the running engine is taken care of by the nano-scale solid lubricant particles contained in BORPower^® (boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron). That is, even without lubrication film, little frictional heat is produced, since extremely hard and slick boron metal layers rub on each other. These layers are similar to the slick Teflon layer in pans and pots, except that the boron nano particles in BORPower^® are radically more temperature and pressure resistant than a Teflon layer would ever be. Nonetheless, a lubrication film is still required to take away the residual frictional heat build up in the engine. The nano lubricant additive BORPower^® therefore boosts the function of each motor oil. This enables the user of BORPower^® to use cheaper motor oil with lesser lubrication capabilities than expensive high-performance oils. If a particular synthetic motor has other responsibilities beside lubrication film development and friction reduction, no functional degradation occurs when applying BORPower^®, since its active ingredients are chemically inert and extremely stable. Additionally, the volume of the mineral oil base contained in a bottle BORPower^® S-250 (approximately 163cc) is small compared to that of the (high-performance) motor oil (several liters) such that no considerable functional modification after mixing occurs.

7) What happens when BORPower® is applied overdosed, i.e., more than 250ml BORPower® per 5 liters of motor oil?

Applying BORPower^® overdosed causes no physical damage to the engine. Instead, the engine is better protected against friction and wear, since the boron metal protection film in the engine develops faster and is more compact. Excess amounts of the active ingredients remain as emulsion in the motor oil. Evidently, the improvement compared to the suggested dosage of 250ml BORPower^® per 5 liters of motor oil will be small. A further reduction of the fuel consumption of the vehicle and a further increase of the motor power can be expected, but at small levels. For best results at a low price, we recommend to use 250ml BORPower^® per 5 liters of motor oil.

8) What do I have to take care of when applying BORPower®?

Please have a look at the page Products-Application of this website.

9) How does BORPower® work in the engine?

BORPower^® contains the active ingredients boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron. Under high pressure between two metal surfaces, the boron diamond crystals are pressed into the material to form a boron metal film. This film is diamond-hard and at the same time very slippery. The nano boron forms a low-friction solid lubricant film in between these films. Boron diamond crystals not integrated into the metal surface act as bearing balls, which further reduces friction and abrasion. This is because sliding friction is turned into the much smaller rolling friction. The boron diamond crystals are 5 nanometers in diameter, which is the 20.000th part of the diameter of a human hair!
