The lubrication revolution that is Uniglide FRC

UNIGLIDE FRC: THE LUBRICATION REVOLUTION

Uniglide Friction Reducing Concentrate or Uniglide FRC is a lubricant-enhancing, metal treatment oil concentrate. It is designed specifically to protect and extend the useful life of mechanical systems across all industries. This demands a lubricant technology that offers “long-term” metal protection under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

Uniglide FRC was originally developed in South Africa to protect mining and construction machines and equipment against the harsh, hot and dusty environment. Uniglide FRC is designed to significantly reduce the co-efficient of friction between metal surfaces.

As its name suggests, Uniglide truly is a universal application that can be used across all industries and mechanical systems.

Although it is added to the mechanical systems “host” oil, Uniglide FRC is not an “oil additive."

Uniglide was developed as a metal treatment oil concentrate. In addition to reducing friction, Uniglide FRC also has anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion, anti-foaming and “flushing” properties/ features to prevent the undesirable effects of rust oxidation and agglomeration of contaminant particles, thereby keeping a healthy mechanical system free of rust, contaminants and deposits.

PERFORMANCE FROM TECHNOLOGY

Uniglide FRC delivers “Performance From Technology” well beyond “adequate” and continues to excel and exceed expectations. These are claims substantiated by independent, accredited engineering laboratories, including Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Lubetech Wearcheck and Intertek Automotive Test Laboratories, San Antonio, Texas. 

As a concentrate, it brings significant economies of scale. Uniglide FRC echoes a sound economic proposition to users as an affordable, easy-to-use preventative maintenance measure, tested and proven to deliver cost savings, reduce systems breakdown and unproductive downtime, extend equipment useful life and deliver the performance claims behind which we stand.

APPLICATION 

As its name suggests, Uniglide truly is a universal application that can be used across all industries and virtually all mechanical systems. Developed in the 1980s in response to the high incidence of mechanical failures suffered by mining and construction companies operating in the harsh African conditions, several decades later Uniglide is now used throughout the world beyond mining and construction to automotive (including high-performance racing), marine, agriculture, manufacturing, oil & gas and even the military.

Uniglide has been used to address numerous issues and symptoms faced by users in their engines, transmissions, gearboxes, differentials, turbo units, outboard motors, recreation vehicles, hydraulics, bearings and joints to industry specific challenges with turbines, conveyor systems, cooling systems, generator sets, pumps, compressors, to name a few.

Uniglide is applied to the mechanical system by adding it to the carrier oil in accordance with the recommended “dosage”. However, it does not mix with the carrier oil and because it is mildly alkaline, it does not alter the way in which the host oil functions; rather it creates an environment that enhances the carrier oil’s lubricity. Uniglide FRC merely uses the carrier oil as a medium to glide in and to deliver the treatment process to any bare metal and remains there even after the host oil has drained into the sump below when the system is turned off.

UNIGLIDE FRC AND THE ENVIRONMENT

At its core, Uniglide FRC Metal Treatment Oil is a Friction Reducing Concentrate that makes your engine, equipment and mechanical systems work more efficiently. A more efficient engine and transmission lead to enhanced power delivery which, in turn, can enhance fuel economy which could reduce exhaust emissions. Potentially, this leads to less carbon exhaust emissions, reducing carbon footprint.

With the increased awareness of the environmental impact on air quality, fleet operators have the potential to lower emissions with this very cost-effective solution.

From the numerous testimonials and endorsements given voluntarily by our extremely satisfied customers, friction reduction in engines and transmissions increased the kilometer per litre (mileage) performance of their vehicles, with some cases, quite considerably. Adding to this, the resulting extension of engine and equipment operating life-span translates to extended CAPEX intervals for equipment replacement, i.e. considerable financial savings to owners.

With the challenges of rising living standards globally and shrinking disposable income in the hands of consumers, an effective yet economical solution that delivers all these benefits offers a well-deserved reprieve and peace of mind to those who are impassioned with their beloved classic car or high-performance motorbike or to the millions who depend on their vehicle, equipment and machinery for their livelihood, commercial exploits and for everyone else in between. 

PROPERTIES

Uniglide FRC is a clear semi-synthetic 10W30 lubrication oil formulation with a light golden colour that has an impressive operating temperature range between -300C to 2500C. It is a “near” neutral, non-acidic, mildly alkaline-based oil with a Total Base Number (TBN) (ASTM 2896) between 7.0 to < 8.5, with very mild to odourless properties and crucially, without any solids (i.e. non-particulate).

It treats metal surfaces, coating it with an extremely resilient protection coat through a physical process known as “Adsorption”. It has no quantifiable measure of thickness, it does not build on itself, hence does not reduce the engineering design tolerances of mechanical systems.

BENEFITS

 Uniglide FRC forms a “super slippery” resilient coat of molecular thickness over metal surfaces, smoothing out the surface to enhance the performance of systems with an impressive list of benefits including the following:

  • Reduces friction, wear and drag;
  • Reduces engine oil and operating temperature;
  • Reduces oil and fuel consumption;
  • Reduces oxidation and corrosion;
  • Reduces vibrations and noise, stops exhaust white/black smoke symptom;
  • Provides immediate start-up lubrication and cold start protection;
  • Does not build-up on itself or on metal surfaces;
  • Improves performance, increases power delivery and stronger system compression;
  • Extends engine, machinery and equipment life

As Uniglide FRC’s superior technology reduces the co-efficient of friction between metal surfaces in the engine, this enhances the ability of the host oil to function more effectively and efficiently, hence extending the life-span of the carrier oil as well. This leads to efficient combustion of fuel inside the engine and greatly reduces carbon exhaust emissions.

The end result is a more effective fuel ignition and combustion process; A more efficient performing engine that truly is “Performance From Technology.”
