NanoMaterials announces new generation anti-friction and anti-wear lubricants

NanoProfix of Italy announced on April 15, 2013, that it will begin selling the NanoMaterials’ extreme performance lubricant range of products.
NanoMaterials Ltd., a nano solid-based lubricants company, announced the commercial partnership with NanoProfix for distributing its anti-friction/anti-wear NanoLub lubricants. These new generation, inorganic lubricant additives will showcase NanoMaterials’ award-winning technology throughout the Italian market.
Based on patented technology developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science, NanoMaterials produces pioneering multi-layered fullerene-shaped inorganic WS2 nanoparticles and nanotubes.
Nanoparticles bind at the molecular level to treated surfaces, thereby protecting them and making them highly efficient. Moreover, these products add water repellency, bacterial protection, flame retardation and thermal insulation.
NanoMaterials’ NanoLub series is the first successful commercial implementation of inorganic, multi-layered fullerene-shaped technology in extreme pressure nano-lubricants. The additives comes either as oil-based, grease-based or powder-based.
According to the company, these products have an outstanding capacity to improve engine performance, reduce operating temperatures, enhance fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend oil life under extreme conditions. The innovative nanoparticles also feature a unique continuous tribofilm release mechanism that helps repair wear damage by coating moving engine parts with lubricating layers.
NanoMaterials have earned international recognition and won numerous innovation and excellence awards, including the prestigious Red Herring Top 100 Innovators award. The company’s NanoLub family of lubrication applications is gaining increasing recognition and demand is growing particularly in the automotive and heavy equipment industries, along with defense, mining and metalworking.
NanoProfix is a part of SERFIND SPA Financial Holding.
