BorPower
Scientifically proven in the UK to improve fuel consumption by over 10%, reduce engine wear and corrosion and save the environment.
BORPower – the Holy Grail of vehicle oil has been found
After years of failed attempts, the Holy Grail of vehicle oil has finally been found. BORPower is an oil additive scientifically proven in Europe, the US and now the UK to improve fuel consumption.
Available in the UK from this week after recent rigorous UK trials by vehicle engineering test specialists at the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) research facility, it produced fuel consumption savings of over 10%.
In other words, the cost of a litre of diesel for BORPower users would be reduced from 1.14 to 1.03 [ref 1] or the trip from London to Edinburgh will be reduced from 330 to 297 miles [ref 2]. In the average year, a fleet of ten 18 tonne vehicles developing 230hp operating at 50,000 miles each could save 20,538 based upon 12.6 mpg per vehicle [ref 3].
From owner operators to large fleet managers, the reduction of vehicle costs especially with the current volatile fuel prices, is a major headache.
Why BORPower is different
Many will have heard of so-called additives’, but BORPower is different. It’s the only product:
With publicly declared tests and certificates from around the world, performed by independent organisations showing a reduction in fuel consumption based scientific formula, approved by vehicle bodies and Governments.
Based upon a physical process, not involving any chemical reaction with the engine oil since it is chemically inert. BORPower is non-toxic, non-acidic and therefore environmentally friendly.
Which is an all-in-one, long term solution. Other products last from 1,000 miles (liquid lubricants) to 25,000 (solid lubricants) whereas BORPower lasts for up to 40,000 miles.
Scientifically proven to improve fuel consumption
The quality and effectiveness of BORPower has been validated several times by accredited industrial and scientific research and testing facilities in the USA and Europe and now in the UK.
Each facility, including Southwest Research Institute San Antonio Texas, USA and TV NORD, Germany (Technical Inspection Agency), Hanover found that BORPower improved fuel efficiency by up to 15%.
In the recent independent UK tests at the MIRA Vehicle Test Track (October 2008), Roger Dennis, (independent mechanical engineer and specialist fleet efficiency consultant [ ref 4]) found a saving of over 10% on a three-axle 21 tonne flatbed for the high speed track trial simulating highway driving and over 11% for the low speed track trial simulating heavy traffic scenarios [ref 5].
How BORPower works
BORPower combines the use of the chemical element boron and nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the relatively unknown, but growing field dealing with the tiny world of atoms and molecules. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10-9 of a metre.
To put that scale into context, the comparative size of a nanometer to a metre is the same as that of a marble to the size of the earth. Within the periodic table, Boron has the symbol B, atomic number 5, a small density and is very heat resistant.
The raw boron goes through the nanotechnology process and becomes boron diamond powder (MCDP), frequently called the Brother Of Diamond’ due to its hardness, scoring 9.3 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It ranks just below diamond (10 Mohs), the hardest substance known to man.
BORPower works by building up boron metal films in the engine’s inner parts which prevents direct contact between the frictional surfaces responsible for abrasion, friction and heat. BORPower helps by cooling down these frictional surfaces and sealing them.
BORPower contains two active ingredients: boron diamond powder (MCDP) and nano boron. Under high pressure between two metal surfaces, the MCDP crystals are pressed into the material to form a coating. This coating is near diamond-hard, but at the same time very slippery.
The nano boron forms a low-friction, solid lubricant film between these coatings. MCDP not integrated into the metal surface act also like tiny ball-bearings, which further reduces friction and abrasion by transforming the sliding friction into much less abrasive rolling friction.
To put this into context, the MCDP crystals are 5 nanometres in diameter or one 20,000th diameter of a human hair!
The benefits of BORPower
Cutting fuel costs isn’t the only benefit of BORPower. The overall benefits can be much greater for the individual, company and the planet:
Cutting costs
Extended engine life span (up to 100%)
Reduced maintenance costs
Prolonged service intervals
Increased efficiency
Improved engine power (up to 9%)
Reduced oil temperature (up to 30%), lower burn-up and degradation of the motor oil
Less engine wear
Reduced corrosion & friction
Saving the environment
Less CO2 emissions (up to 15%)
Reduced oil waste
Non toxic, non acidic, chemically inert
Quieter engine noise
Announcing the launch of BORPower in the UK, NanoBoron UK director Mr Ismail Cikci said: “In today’s volatile financial markets, businesses need to save every penny they can to remain competitive.
“After comprehensive trials across the globe, we are the only company to publicly declare independent test results which confirm that BORPower works to save money and the environment. The recent tests at MIRA confirm our standing as world leaders in lubricant technology.”
