How is XADO® unique?

XADO® allows to maintain and service of engines or mechanisms:
- WITHOUT TAKING IT APART
- WITHOUT STOPPING AND WHILE SYSTEM IS IN OPERATION
- WHEN MECHANISM WORKS – THEN IS UNDER REPAIR

Where XADO® can be applied?

In each and every metal-to-metal contact where oil is used as lubricant. After application of XADO® component surface has:
- hardness greater than original - up to the 750 kg/mm2 (steel is - 55-65 kg/mm2, or with 2% Cr – 180 kg/mm2 )
- compression stress resistance up to 250 kg/mm2
- decreased friction and micro-roughens < Ra=0.06 µk
- improved corrosion resistance
- operation life up to 2 – 4 times longer than the new one

How does XADO® work?

XADO® compound could be added to the oil lubricant, during the regular engine (gas or diesel) oil change or while lubricating the mechanisms. Energy released by friction of mechanical parts creates condition for building metal-ceramic surface and diffusion of ceramic into the metal structure, on the each side of the metal to metal contact.

How is built-up of ceramic surface controlled?

The process of metal-ceramic build-up is self-regulated. New metal-ceramic layer has increased hardness and significantly decreased friction. Decreased friction decreases release of energy needed for the process until the point that build-up is completely stopped.XADO® is the only technology in the World, which restores geometry of the worn-out mechanical parts and gives increase in their weight.

What XADO® is specially designed for?

- GAS ENGINES
- DIESEL ENGINES
- MEHCANICAL COMPONENTS (BEARINGS, GEAR BOXES, Etc.)
- HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
- COMPRESSORS AND OIL PUMPS, Etc.
- MACHINE TOOLS

What is revitalization?

The term “revitalization” (from Latin “vita” – life) literally means “returning to life”. The discovery of the revitalization phenomenon is based on unique physical-chemical processes occurring under certain conditions in the friction zone.
XADO® contains a building material and a unique energy activator which uses excess friction energy to create a new surface. The process of revitalization stops as soon as the part (or parts) restores its geometry. Revitalization provides individual adjustment of mating parts, and all rubbing surfaces appear to be covered with cermet coating.

How big can the build-up be?

XADO® revitalizants will add the very necessary microns to the worn pump element, “hundredths” to the engine parts, and “tenths” to the cog wheels. This is REPAIR.

What are the properties of this coating?

XADO® coating is very hard, quite smooth, and corrosion resistant. It has a micro hardness of 650-750 kg/square millimetre. Surface roughness of the most of new parts is between 0.9 and 2.1 Ra while XADO® assures you a surface roughness of 0.06 Ra.

I have a new automobile. Why do I need XADO®?

The run-in period is a time of adjustment of the parts. During this period the surface layer of the parts wears out. XADO® revitalizants allow going through run-in with minimal loss, and offer the unique opportunity to protect and tune the parts covering them with the cermet coating.

I just had a major overhaul done, do I need XADO®?

XADO® Revitalization is especially vital for engines that have been overhauled. During a regular overhaul it is impossible to ensure the original hardness of the parts surface layer. XADO® is able to recondition the parts and restore surface hardness.

Could the cermet layer growth cause engine seizure?

No, it could not. The process of revitalization is a self-regulating one. It is the most active in the places of the extreme wear where there are all necessary conditions for the cermet (ceramic/metallic) coating growth: high temperature, extreme pressure, much friction. As soon as the surface is reconditioned and cermet coating is formed, the process stops as there are no reasons for the further growth.

Will the cermet layer peel off during running?

No, it will not. The diffusion (not adhesion) of metal and revitalizant results in a monolithic and solid crystal buildup to the depth of 10 to 30 mkm. Therefore, there is no clear border between the matrix surface and the cermet layer.

Why does the amount of gel to be applied depend on the volume of oil system but not on the wear degree?

Because the amount of oil in the engine and other joints and units is proportional to the area of the operating surfaces. One should take into account the volume of oil system because the calculated amount of gel is sufficient to restore any wear degree.

Which kind of oil is the best for treatment, mineral or synthetic?

It makes no difference because the revitalizant is compatible with any kind of oil and fuel. It does not react with them and does not change their viscosity. The oil only carries revitalizant to friction surfaces. XADO® is not for oil, it is for repair.

Should the oil be changed before the engine treatment?

It is recommended only if the oil resources are not sufficient for the full cycle of revitalization.

Does XADO® settle in the crank-case while the car is parked for a long time?

No, it does not if you follow the directions when applying XADO®. XADO® should only be applied to a warmed engine. The engine should then be run for at least two minutes at idle. This allows the revitalizant to localize on the friction surfaces.

Should I add XADO® after each oil change?

No. The coating is formed during the first 930-1240 miles (1500-2000 km) of running. After treatment you may change oil as usual. “XADO® effect” remains after several oil changes (up to ten).

How does XADO® help to save fuel?

As a rule, excessive fuel consumption is caused by wear of the cylinder-piston group. After revitalization the geometry of the parts is restored, and fuel consumption returns to normal. In addition, a lower friction factor (surface roughness 0.06 Ra instead of the usual 0.9 to 2.1 Ra) significantly reduces friction losses. As a result you can save up to 30 % of fuel at idle and 5-7% of fuel when driving.

Can I treat a two-stroke engine?

There is a special compound, gel for reconditioning the cylinders in two-stroke engines. It can be used for treating any mechanisms from scooters to lawn-mowers and chain-saws.

Can valve guide rods be reconditioned?

Valves are protected with special oil-scraper cups (valve seals), so the amount of oil getting onto the valves and, respectively, of revitalizant, is really slight. If the valves’ wear is small, this is sufficient to protect and preserve the valves. If the wear is extreme, it is necessary to replace the valves and the guide sleeves.

I bought an automobile, and found out that the previous owner used some kinds of additives. Can I use XADO® in this case?

Of course, you can. The XADO® revitalizants are compatible with any kinds of additives.

If one takes your ads for granted, does it mean it’s possible to run with no oil at all?

XADO® does not recommend that you drive your car without oil. XADO® produces revitalizants for repair, reconditioning and protection of the machinery. We told you about the run with a dry crank-case only to demonstrate the quality of our coatings, to assure you that, by treating your car, you will be protected in the event of the extreme circumstances. Besides the repair and savings, your car will be protected with XADO®, you can count on it!

How long will the coating obtained last?

Say the compression in the cylinder before treatment was 142.2 psi (10 kgf/cm2) and after treatment, it became 184.9 psi (13 kgf/cm2). The manufacturer guarantees that this performance will remain the same for a year at any mileage. In practice, your car can run 60000 miles without loss of improved performance (100 000 km). Then, you can treat your engine again.

What does the guarantee imply?

At our authorized service centres the qualified technicians diagnose you car and help to find a real cause of defects in your car operating, and treat your car. There you receive a warranty coupon. We guarantee the stability of the performance improved for a year at any mileage. Having visited our service centres you can be sure your car is properly treated.

Can all compressors be treated by XADO® technology?

Yes, practically all compressors can be treated by XADO® technology. The benefits of the treatment are: increase of oil pressure, elimination of clearances in the crank gear; elimination of ovality and obliquity in the cylinder-piston group and reconditioning of worn surfaces up to 0.5 mm. The oxygen compressors cannot be treated by XADO® because of absence of oil.

What should I do when it is difficult to remove spent grease?

In this case, it is recommended to use the “Repairing” Grease. Add it directly to the regular grease. The high concentration of revitalizant in “Repairing” Grease makes it possible to restore the extreme worn parts up to their original sizes and ensures a practically unlimited service period later on. All XADO® Greases are mutually compatible.

How to revitalize joints and units operating on greases?

By replacing the regular grease with XADO® Greases. First you should diagnose the joint wear degree. Choose the right XADO® Grease:
1. “Protective” Grease is used in new joints and units, or in those with insignificant wear (up to 10%). It is a universal substitute for any grease.
2. “Restoring” Grease contains more active components. It not only protects parts but restores their geometry as well. It is used in joints and units with wear degree up to 50 %.
3. “Repairing” Grease is used in joints and units with wear degree up to 80 %.

We have a lot of machine tools. What would be the benefits of XADO® treatment?

A machine tool is rather complex mechanism. Naturally XADO® revitalization improves all its performances. For example, spindle, the main part of any machine tool, operates at high speed and under heavy loads. It wears considerably and quickly. Professionals know that it will take a lot of time and efforts to repair a machine tool. The high-speed XADO® Greases will protect and recondition the parts of your machine tool.

Is the cermet layer formed on non-ferrous metals?

Yes, a cermet layer is formed on all “metal-metal” friction pairs, including non-ferrous metals and any alloys.

I have seen some ads about revitalizants for rifled barrels. Is it of XADO® too?
