          LUBRICATION AND NANOPARTICLES: THE BIRTH OF R20          

         

          As we well know, the mechanical parts inside an engine generate defined sliding friction. The use of lubricating oil has the aim of reducing this friction, wear of the parts and lowering temperatures thanks to the formation of the so-called third body.          

         

          By mixing the nanoparticles with the lubricating oil, it obtains the ability to transform this sliding friction into rolling friction, i.e. the nanoparticles play the role of microspheres of a hypothetical bearing which, combined with the self-repair capacity (the nanoparticles insinuate themselves into the grooves and microcracks, making the smoother contact surfaces) and a polishing action (polishing of the surfaces where the nanoparticles come into contact) results in a notable reduction in friction compared to the exclusive use of lubricating oil.          

         

          Nanoparticles are excellent heat carriers (capacity to accumulate and transport heat), bringing greater heat exchange and heat dissipation to the lubricating oil, resulting in a lowering of operating temperatures, slowing down the natural deterioration of the lubricant.          

         

          Another peculiar advantage of nanoparticles is that of being inert, i.e. they do not cause damage to metal surfaces and engine gaskets, even in the long term, differentiating themselves from other Chloroparaffin-based additives which, decaying in particular conditions of use, determine the formation of hydrochloric acid. The use of nanoparticles inside the lubricant, unlike what it may seem, does not alter its viscosity and prevents any type of clogging of the passages or the oil filter.          

         

          SHS wanted to enclose all the revolutionary potential of nanotechnology in a single product, a concentrated nanotechnological oil to be mixed in percentage quantities of lubricating oil present in the various types and displacements of engines, guaranteeing all the intrinsic characteristics that nanoparticles bring to the field of lubrication.          

         

          R20 was born with the desire to offer a product that provides concrete support to problems due to engine overheating due to seasonality (summer temperatures) and the considerable stress of the engine from daily and continuous use (buses, trucks, agricultural vehicles, bulldozers etc…).          

         

          In lower percentage doses it can also be used in transmission organs such as gearboxes or differential cells obtaining the same benefits listed above. In conclusion, with this product SHS wants to remain faithful to its mission, to provide innovative products that protect your vehicles, giving them a better quality of life and reliability.
