Q: What is the biggest capacity engine you can use one bottle of poly coat on? I have a 500 c.i. Hemi diesel application.
Thanks

A: One bottle of Polycoat 20-HWE is good for up to 5 quarters of oil. If the engine uses more than 5 quarters of oil, you would need 2 bottles of Polycoat.

Q: I have a some questions, please. The first is about adding Polycoat to the transmission fluid. Does the fluid have to be drained first so that there is no overfill? I don't know how much volume there is to your product.
The second question is, are there comparative test results that show the wear comparisons for engines treated with Polycoat vs those treated with the common additives (e.g. Slick 50, Engine Armor, Heartland, etc.)
The third question is can this additive be used in conjunction with synthetic oils?
I am very interested in your product but I don't know of anyone who carries it. I live in eastern Long Island. Thanks for your time.

A: The volume of the bottle is 4 oz., so there is no need to drain any transmission fluid. We have excellent lab results for the 4 ball wear test. I can imagine that you could ask for the same test results from our competitors and compare them if you want to.

We can also give you phone numbers for the autoshops that use this product, if you want to compare Polycoat to other products. The Polycoat 20-HWE can be added to any type of oil or transmission fluid. Oil is used as a transportation tool, so the type of oil does not matter.

We can ship a bottle of Polycoat to you for $4.99. Please call 1-866-459-5771 with any questions.

Q: This is the first time that I have ever heard of the product. Do you feel that Polycoat works better than the other products on the market (duralube/slick 50/motor up), etc. One more question that baffles me is how does the product clean the inside of the engine. As stated my NEON has 50,000 miles on it and has been a great little car. I commute from Waldorf, Maryland to Downtown DC everyday. A round trip of 60 miles and in stop and go rough traffic that is murder on an engine. Anything I can do to help preserve it is worth it.

This is a new product in the North America. The manufacturer has been selling this product for 7 years in Europe and Asia. None of the other products on the market will create such a thin film that will always keep the oil on the metal surface inside the engine.

Even without the oil this film by itself reduces dry friction inside car engine. We have another product similar to the Polycoat 20-HWE that is designed for industrial equipment, that allows to significantly reduce dry friction without using oil.

There is not much buildup inside the engine with 50,000 miles on it. The compression will definitely increase in this engine after applying the Polycoat 20-HWE. If you want to, you can do a compression test before you apply Polycoat 20-HWE to your car's engine and after 250 miles when you have applied this product. You'll see an increase in compression.

Q: Polycoat 20-HWE seems like a good idea for my car. I'm trying to understand how Polycoat can provide protection in the extreme temperatures. Can you please explain? Thanks.

I attached a picture to this message.

This experiment demonstrates how Polycoat 20-HWE protects engine parts by keeping the oil from sliding down the cylinder walls to the bottom. Once oil sinks to the bottom it can no longer protect the cylinders walls from friction. Polycoat 20-HWE keeps oil equally spread on the engine parts, protecting every metal surface from friction wear.

This can become especially beneficial during cold mornings when you go to start-up the car. Oil left inside the car engine sinks entirely to the bottom into the oil pan overnight. So during every start-up small amounts of wear occur because: the piston pin bushings and bearings, connecting rod bearings, rings & cylinder walls, pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, and lifters operate for a brief period with little or no oil lubrication.

Overtime, the wear from every start-up adds up and leads to an increase in clearances, reduced oil pressure, increased oil consumption and reduced life of your engine. During the cold weather oil looses its viscosity and requires a longer period of time to warm up and lubricate metal surfaces.

Regular mineral oils contain waxes and paraffin that solidify during cold temperatures and make it more difficult for oil to flow. Polycoat 20-HWE stays attached to cylinder walls overnight and will not get frozen due to an incredible tolerance to cold temperatures. It will provide a uniform thin coating protection during start ups in the cold weather and/or after long periods of inactivity.

Q: What makes your engine oil additive different from other additives on the market? Thank you.

A: Polycoat 20-HWE is a synthetically engineered fluorine based compound. Fluorine is the most active chemical found on the periodic table of elements. It provides this additive with unique characteristics. The fluorine based molecules found in Polycoat 20-HWE, are so active and potent that they remove any chemical build ups found on the metal surface. At the same time they attach themselves directly to the metal surface inside the engine and fill in any scratches on the surface. Once the fluorine based molecules fill in the scratches they form a thin durable film that has a width of 5 to 7 angstroms. To give you an idea of how relatively thin this film is, it would take 250 million films put together to get a film 1 inch wide.

Fluorine based film has the numerous advantages that make Polycoat 20-HWE superior to all other additives found on the market. First, it is more durable than any coating formed by other additives that are based on Teflon, polymers, remetallizers, and minerals, because fluorine is the most active ingredient on the periodic table of elements. Film formed by fluorine molecules is literally only a few molecules wide, making it the thinnest existing car-engine-fricition-reducing film. This size gives this film an advantage over all other additives because it is much harder to scratch and scorn it from the surface.

As an example, imagine shoveling snow from your driveway. It is much easier to shovel mounds of soft snow that rise several feet from the grounds. However, once you get down to the bottom, a thin layer of ice remains on the cement that is so durable that people quite often give up trying to remove it from the driveway and leave up to the sun to melt it away. This is exactly the kind of protection you get from adding Polycoat 20-HWE. In this example, the thin ice represents fluorine based film and the cement in the driveway represents the metal surface inside the engine. The ice prevents the shovel from scratching the pebbles off the cement in the driveway just like the fluorine film prevents the pistons from scoring the metal particles off the cylinder surface.

The temperature tolerance and pressure resistance of the fluorine film give it other outstanding features that make it superior to coatings based on Teflon, polymers, remetallizers, and minerals. Polycoat's active characteristics allow the flouring film to withstand temperatures ranging from -238°F (-150° Celsius) to +842°F (+450° Celsius). Consequently, it will not get frozen unless the temperature is less than -238°F (-150° Celsius) or get melted unless the temperature is more than +842°F (+450° Celsius). Furthermore, the film is able to sustain structure, without cracking or denting, under tremendous amount of pressure.

Among other things, fluorine film is resistant to organic solvents. It will not be dissolved by chemicals or acids that form inside the engine. This characteristic enables the film not only to last under extreme circumstance, but also to protect the engine surface from corrosion, rust, and oxidation that can result from the contact with harmful chemicals or acids.
