Slick 50 – a proven PTFE‐based boundary lubricant for engines

Abstract

Describes the testing and lubricating mechanisms of Slick 50, a solid lubricant engine oil additive containing PTFE for reducing friction and wear. Gives the results of long term engine tests by the Southwest Research Institute, Texas, monitored by radioactive tracer, exhaust emission analysis and fuel economy improvement. Offers Slick 50 as an alternative to zinc phosphorus additives.
