TUV International Certification: Certified Effective!

TUV, one of the world's largest product testing & certification organizations, awards FriktionTek by XADO's Engine Treatment for effectiveness of:

• Reduction of emissions (CO2, CO, HC)
• Reduction of fuel consumption
• Increase of engine power
• Increase of compression pressure

Completed in April 2010, TUV's standardized testing of FriktionTek by XADO shows:

• A decrease in carbon monixide emissions by 15.92%
• A dcrease in carbon dioxide emissions by 5.16%
• A decrease in hydrocarbon emissions by 7.63%
• A reduction in fuel consumption by 5.29%
• An increase in compression up to 35%

Video Testimonials

 


June 12, 2010 - Watch this driver's first reaction to FriktionTek Ceramic Engine Treatment!
Test drive was 15 minutes after it was applied.


July 25, 2010 - Ted, a mechanic and trucker, experiences the benefits first hand. Within 20 minutes of the application, the oil pressure was increased, oil temperature decreased and there was a marked reduction in blow-by. Ted also noticed increased acceleration and less vibration.

 
June 30, 2010 - FriktionTek Ceramic Automatic Transmission Treatment saves a slipping transmission. The driver's reaction "Wow! That's amazing!" Test drive was 4 minutes after it was applied.


June 12, 2010 - Actual demonstration of FriktionTek®. We applied the engine treatment to the warm engine, let the vehicle idle for 20 minutes and went on a test drive. Listen to the car owner's reaction while he drives. He won the product at a charity auction.

Conclusion: The use of FriktionTek's XADO Technology:

• Demonstrated a significant and repeatable improvement in fuel economy

• Resulted in an increase in horsepower

• Showed a marked reduction in engine "blow-by"

• The increase in horsepower and reduction in "blow-"by" will contribute to increased engine miles to overhaul.

Compression Test

AIR PLANE ENGINE: A 2002 Cirrus SR22 (350 HP Continental Engine) was at risk of being grounded for low compression of the 5th cylinder, which would require a $30,000 new engine. After the FriktionTek treatment, the geometry of the cylinders and overall compression was normalized and the 5th cylinder was greatly improved. The need for a new engine was no longer required. Airplane was flown for more than six months between the baseline test and FriktionTek Treatment. Since 7 months passed after baseline test, so the compression of all cylinders was most likely lower at the time of treatment.

Emissions Test

1994 Chevy S10 Pickup. Prior to FriktionTek Treatment, Albuquerque Environmental Health Department VPMD performed an emission test of a 1994 Chevrolet S10 Pickup on 6/11/07. Ten months later, the truck was treated with FriktionTek® Engine Treatment. The truck was tested again on 5/8/08, showing a 86% reduction in emissions overall.

* Emissions testing was not performed on the vehicle directly prior to FriktionTek Treatment, so emissions after 10 months of driving with no maintenance work may have been higher than shown on the test on 6/11/07.

† Reduction in CO2 is due to reduction of gas use age rather than changes in emission particulate composition.

MPG Case Study

Sunset Logistics, a building supply delivery company located in Ft Worth, TX, tested FriktionTek by XADO Diesel Engine Treatment in July 14, 2008. Test results of the 10 tractors showed an average improvement of 8.5% (from 6.2 MPG to 6.51 MPG) under very heavy load conditions.

Tsinghau University Scientific Study of XADO Technology

Click here to download the PDF Report. (36 MB)

Tsinghua University (regarded as the "MIT of China" ) performed an in-depth study of FriktionTek's XADO Technology consisting of both laboratory and field tests. Their conclusion:

XADO Technology has triple effect: lubrication, 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.

Below are excerpts from the study:

Tests of that same diesel engine cylinder show a significant decrease in the friction coefficient when treated with FriktionTek's XADO Technology.
