In the whole world no less than 1/3 of all produced energy is
wasted to reduce friction.
About 2% of the national economy GDP is lost
because of friction.
Ways to reduce friction losses:
• Creation of new wear-resistant materials • Changing of operating conditions of the friction surfaces
by using special additives to lubricants
• Using new types of top quality lubricants
XADO – technology has triple effect:lubricating, restoring and surface modification.
Today this technology is the most effective way to reduce friction.
Very efficient way to save energy and resources.
The most simple and economical way to harden the surface.
Forming process and characteristics of the metalloceramics layer
12V- 90 diesel engine of the drilling rig worked in Sheng Li oilfield.
Having been treated by XADO revitalizant it operated 2000 hours in excess of planne
d rate.
This water pump gear shift of a locomotive was treated
by XADO and it ran 400 000 km extra.
Test period - 300 hours after XADO revitalizant
application

XADO metalloceramics layer is a thin colorless coating.
Its thickness can vary from 10 nm to several microns depending on the cond
itions of friction.
The general structure of the coating is similar to that of
the diamond-like material.

Practical examplesof wear restoration
using XADO-technology
From December 2002 to August 2004 tests of the diesel locomotives, DF8B model (№5317; №5319), were carried out on the territory of th
e “ХАНИ” railway. After using XADO the locomotive ran extra
410 000 km and a mid-life repair was made. It ran 600 000 km till May 2005 and a mid-life
repair was made again.

Traditional greases do not have restoring properties
In recent years the researchers added to the grease solid grains of such chemical elements as: Cu, Ag,TiO2, SiO2, as
well as diamonds. In this case forming of the continuous layer on the friction surfaces did not occur.

XADO technology has perfect restoring properties.
Its secret consists in the ability of XADO particles to capture iron particles and to bring them back to wear surface, f
orming a new modified layer.
