This new technology gives considerably improved performance over oils which utilise the more conventional “solid lubricants ” such as molybdenum disulphide and PTFE. It also has the advantage that it can be used in synchromesh gearboxes where it is unwise to use these other forms of solid lubricant.
This new range of products supercedes the very successful ‘BM’ range, replacing the molybdenum disulphide ‘black moly’ solid lubricant additive with the very latest Nano Technology, and will carry the suffix ‘NT’.
Nano Technology (often shortened to Nano Tech) is a diverse field concentrating on structures of the size of 100 nanometres or less – a nanometre being 1 billionth of a metre. To put this into a manageable perspective, a nano particle has the same size relationship to a football as a football has to the earth! The particles used by Millers Oils are known as ‘Inorganic Fullerines’ and are added to the base fluid of an oil to complement the existing additive technology.
Imagine adding billions of tiny ball bearings into the oil. Under very heavy loads, these tiny ball bearings deform, and take the shape of tiny rollers which reinforce the oil molecules. This increases the load carrying capacity of the oil, reduces friction and therefore reduces heat and wear.
