How it works

Wear and abrasion of engines, gears, bearings and various mobile mechanical systems are caused by solid contacts of metal surfaces. Traditionally lubricants are being used to generate an oil coating, which helps avoiding direct contact of metal surfaces. If this doesn’t work the grinding parts are affected.

REWITEC has succeeded to develop a nanocoating technology which is able to protect grinding metal surfaces permanently from wear and abrasion, if a disjunctive lubricating film can not be built. REWITEC nanocoating offers protection for combustion engines, gear boxes, compressors and all kinds of bearings, even under extreme conditions.

REWITEC nanocoating doesn’t change the coating features of the lubricant, but it modifies the surface structure of grinding metal parts.

The effectiveness of the product is based on a zoning of metal grinding partners. This reaction layer improves the natural wear and tear of metal surfaces.
The active ingredient contains various silicates.

These smooth solids produce a chemical reaction due to high partial pressure and temperatures while being in touch with the lubricated machine element (for instance combustion engine or industrial gear).

The silicate atoms of the active ingredient conjoin with metal atoms of the metal surface and compose the so-called “metal silicates”. This metal silicate layer features more favourable abrasion and wear qualities than bare metal grinding partners.
As a result of zoning the grinding level decreases and further wear is reduced.

For that reason even worn and affected surfaces are reconditioned and sealed due to REWITEC nanocoating.
