SMT2 is a non-petroleum based, non-flammable, non-corrosive, non-toxic, biodegradable, synthetic anti-friction metal treatment. In fact, SMT2 is the only synthetic, environmentally friendly, anti-friction metal treatment in the world. SMT2 technology has “leapfrogged” current metal treatment technology and leads the way for anti-friction metal treatment into the third millennium. SMT2 combines all the positive aspects of previous technology into its new technology without any of the harmful negative attributes associated with prevailing technology.

SMT2 is not...

• An additive to lubricant: SMT2 is a true metal treatment.
• A product derived from petroleum: SMT2 is the only synthetic metal treatment available today.
• A lubricant: SMT2 is a metal treatment that uses existing lubricants to carry it to the ferrous (Fe) metal parts.
• A colloidal solution and does not contain solids: SMT2 is not harmful to parts, lubricants and environment because it contains no fluropolymers, graphite, esters, naturally derived chlorinated hydrocarbons, black and non-ferrous metals, or ceramics. Having a complete chemical affinity with mineral and synthetic petroleum, SMT2 is soluble in all known lubricants and fluids. Being chemically inert, it does not disturb the pH-balance of motor oil additive packages. SMT2 is not only inert to construction materials, but also, in a number of cases, blocks oxidizing processes on the surfaces of metals applied in lubricating systems.

SMT2 does not contain...

• Any paraffins – therefore, it can be used as an additive in fuels.
• Any cladding materials that can be harmful, such as Teflon®, metal, zinc, paraffin wax, and esters.
• Any EPA targeted carbon chain.

SMT2 is formulated for use in all iron and steel (Fe) and combination of Fe-metals and other metal friction environments that involve:

• Elevated temperature
• High loads
• Extreme pressure
• High sliding speed and pressure
• Lack of lubrication

Specific applications for SMT2 include, but are not limited to:

• Automotive and heavy duty truck motor, standard transmission, differential, hubs, wheel bearings, and automatic transmission and power steering for gasoline and diesel fuels
• Industrial (mining, oil refining/drilling, paper making, steel mills, etc.)
• Railroads, including diesel engine oil, transmissions, gear boxes, wheel bearings, and track
• Commercial marine, including diesel engines, transmissions, gear boxes, wrenches, and all friction applications
• Rifle, handgun, and weapons
• Military
• Printing presses and bindery equipment
• Drills, taps, saws, milling tools, and all metal-to-metal cutting tools
• HVAC pumps
• CNC coolants (controls and kills bacteria, fungus and mold)
• Pre-assembly lube (SMT2 contains no metals that can confuse oil analysis readings and affords greater protection to new metal surfaces.)

No! SMT2 does NOT treat the oil or fluid into which it is introduced. SMT2 treats ferrous (Fe) metals ONLY. It does NOT affect, in a positive or negative way, ANY type of seal material. SMT2 meets or exceeds all OEM lubrication standards and does NOT affect warranties because it does NOT affect the pH, or blend package of any fluid into which it is introduced. SMT2 is a pure concentrate metal treatment only.

SMT2 significantly reduces friction, thereby providing:

• More power to motorized equipment (increased rpm or same rpm at improved energy efficiency).
• Cooler operation in all engines, transmissions, gear boxes, sliding devices, and bearing assemblies.
• Longer equipment life (documented equipment life savings).
• Significantly longer service cycles.
• Protection against high wear debris buildup and extreme environments.

SMT2 only affects ferrous (Fe) metal parts; therefore, it can be safely used in hydraulic systems, HVAC pumps, conveyor systems, automatic transmissions, gear boxes, transfer cases, crankcases, differentials, coolants, fuel, and chain cases – virtually any friction environment.

No! SMT2 does not wear out. However, due to physics, it must be replaced each time the oil, lubricant, or grease is replaced. There are a few exceptions, such as automobile engines, where the oil is changed every 3,000 miles. When the oil in an automobile is changed every 3,000 miles, SMT2 should be added every other oil change.

No! Unlike additives, SMT2 does not add volume to the lubricant because SMT2 is a metal treatment that microscopically permeates ferrous metals on the surface and leaches through the porosity of the metal itself. Most anti-friction additives replace a portion of the oil thereby altering the delicate formulation of the oil or lubricant. When a petroleum based oil product replaces the oil with which the engine is designed to operate, the additive package pH and suspension agent of the oil may be altered. When the pH is wrong, the “additive package” is out of balance and can cause acidic buildup and corrosiveness. SMT2 does not change any of this.

SMT2 is a highly viscous product. SMT2 has a SG/50°C of between 1.3 (lower spec) and 1.37 (upper spec), and it has an Asus/210°F between 65 (lower spec) and 90 (upper spec).

However, the viscosity of SMT2 has no affect on the overall viscosity of the oil or lubricant into which SMT2 is mixed. Unlike “additives” that mix with and alter the characteristics of the oil or lubricant, SMT2 is absorbed into the metal itself and has no affect on the viscosity, pH, or additive package of the oil or lubricant. SMT2 is not an additive, and it actually disappears from the oil or lubricant entirely when it is absorbed into the metal.

SMT2 does not have a flash point.

SMT2 does not break down under heat. SMT2 is not a lubricant or additive that is affected by heat. SMT2 is a metal treatment that is absorbed into the metal and uses oil, lubricant, or grease only to carry it to the metal. In one application, SMT2 is being used on a coal dryer at temperatures of 1211°F.

SMT2 is a molecular level tribological element that has an extremely high affinity toward pure iron (Fe) (See Figure 1). Basically, SMT2 is negatively polarized with respect to ferrous metal. Once the bond between SMT2 is achieved, the resulting covalent bond is inert. SMT2 affects ferrous metal at the molecular level, forming an electro-chemical covalent bond of loose, pure, ferrous iron (Fe) and SMT2 molecules that form a metal hydride boundary layer on the metal surface that smoothes asperities and flaws. The boundary layers formed by SMT2 have a lamellar molecular structure with “easy shear” characteristics that ensure extremely low levels of boundary friction between the surfaces.

SMT2 is formulated with a “know-how” Temperature, Pressure, and Friction (TPF) component that reacts to any combination of Temperature, Pressure, and Friction that takes place between moving surfaces (boundary friction and wear). When the temperature is altered up or down and/or the pressure or friction is increased, the TPF, the “know-how” component of SMT2, activates a succession of chemical reactions to stearate “metal soaps”.

From the physics of boundary friction, it is known that metal soaps bond covalently to a friction surface forming structured protective “molecular pile” layers from polar groups COOMe to promote (due to methyl units CH₂) filiform (nematic) flow of boundary layers similar to those that exist in liquid crystals. These boundary layers, at the expense of methylene groups (CH₃), having incredibly high (commensurable with diamond) molecular hardness, shield the contact surfaces, thereby minimizing wear and friction.

Being an oxygen radical in a chainomatic molecule of hydrocarbons, this component, under influencing processes of a triboelectricity and oxidation of metal surfaces, activates a particular succession of chemical reactions through stearic similar joints like CH₃–(CH₂)₁₃–COOH to stearates or so-called “metal soaps”, having outstanding tribological properties.

	SMT2 molecules are non-petroleum based ions with an extremely high affinity towards Fe (ferrous-iron based metals). SMT2 molecules are <1µm and are therefore able to penetrate gum and varnish residual buildup on ferrous surfaces. Once SMT2 molecules penetrate these surfaces, they bond with loose Fe molecules as they are covalently drawn into the ferrous metal’s micropores. Once bonded the surface no longer has the cracks, pores, and asperities for the gum/varnish particulate to latch onto and releases them into the lubricant stream to be cleaned by the inline filtration system. Contains 99.9% synthetic anti-friction compounds. Has high affinity to absorb, bond, and microscopically penetrate ferrous (Iron) surfaces. SMT2 molecules form metal hydride particles on and below metal surfaces to seal the rough pores and to smooth the metal surface asperities. SMT2 provides protection from abrasion by forming a near diamond hard surface film on and below metal surfaces. SMT2 starts to activate at temperatures above -15°F. The higher the temperature, the faster the activation time. SMT2 picks up the existing loose Fe (already in solution from the load zone of the friction environment) as SMT2 heads toward the broken molecular chains that exist on the surface of the ferrous iron. SMT2 forms a permanent bond, only to be worn off as physics dictates, within the given friction environment. The resulting compound is harder, not due to “making” the original friction area “harder”, rather by microscopically filling in the pits, cracks, and uneven surface of the friction surface making the surface as near perfectly smooth as is scientifically possible. This will not change dimensions of contacted parts. SMT2 will reduce varnish between parts.

It is important to keep in mind that SMT2 is a synthetic product derived from hydrocarbon compounds; therefore, it is chemically neutral. By definition, a synthetic is a product where all the molecules are identical. This is in contrast to organic products that are comprised of many, differing molecules. Synthetics are superior to organics because no matter how much heat, pressure, and friction SMT2 (synthetic) is exposed to, the molecules always return to their original state and maintain their original anti-friction function. Organics, on the other hand, break down under heat, pressure, and friction and form new compounds and their original function is altered. A good illustration is to think of a synthetic as “silly putty”. You can take a hammer and smash “silly putty” all you want, but it will eventually return to exactly the same form it was in before you smashed it. Now, think of an organic as glass. If you smash a piece of glass with a hammer, it can never return to its original state.

The mix ratio varies depending on the fluid into which SMT2 is mixed and the load requirements. Basically, SMT2 is mixed from a low of 1% in fuels to a high of 12% for grease or lubricants in heavy load environments. Beyond 12%, no appreciable benefit is achieved.

Mix ratio for SMT2
Motor oil for gasoline and diesel engines
– Initial treatment	5%
– Each 6,000 miles or every other oil change thereafter	2.5%
– 2-cycle engines	12.5%
Lubricants for standard transmissions, differentials, and hubs	5%
Fluids for automatic transmission, power steering, and rack and pinion and hydraulic fluids	2.5%
Gasoline and diesel fuel	0.1%
Boundary greases and lubricants for heavy loads (mining, paper mills, commercial marine, oil exploration, railroads)	Up to 12%
NOTE: In combustion engines, you do not have to add additional SMT2 when you add oil between oil changes. SMT2 is not an additive but a metal treatment. The SMT2 is already in the metal and does not have to be replaced between oil changes.
