Anyone used this metal treatment in their engine?

Used it before, not anymore. It's a chorinated paraffin.

Used it before, not anymore. It's a chlorinated paraffin.

Sorry about typo.

Every reference to Militec-1 states it does not have chlorinated parafins.

Chlorinated parriffin.

"Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts
When burning, may form carbon monoxide (Typical of organic lubricants) and hydrogen chloride"

AND

"Specific Gravity (H2O=1)/25°C
1.142"

From there MSDS sheet
both density and Hydo Chlorine = chlorinated parrifin, ester or fat.

Dear Mr. Bruce,
My name is enoch and i'm new in this forum so for this Militec-1 why this product not recomend for gasoline or diesel oil as additive?
i saw in their militec UK website like thisits make me confuse)
WHAT IS IN MILITEC-1?

MILITEC-1 is a chemically-reacted synthetic-based hydrocarbon derivative. At the start of the manufacturing process, MILITEC-1 is composed of a blend of several extreme pressure lubricants, natural anti-corrosion ingredients, extremely stable chlorate esters, anti-wear components, and anti-oxidant compounds. This blend is then introduced into a chemical reactor. When MILITEC-1 emerges from our (Adaptive Molecular Technologies Inc.) proprietary chemical reaction process, it is no longer a blend. It has been organically bound into a unique, pure, uniform single substance. In its finished form, MILITEC-1 is completely stable, so it does not require agitation before use.

Just as important as knowing what is in MILITEC-1 is knowing what is not in MILITEC-1.

MILITEC-1 does not contain chlorinated paraffin's, PTFE, fluorine, solvents, carrier oils, viscosity enhancers, metals, molybdenum disulfide, zinc, sulphur, graphite powders or any solids. It’s also important to realize that MILITEC-1 is non-hazardous, non-toxic, and non-combustible. It is so safe that MILITEC-1 was even approved environmentally by the U.S. Navy Medical Command for use aboard nuclear-powered submarines to lubricate life support systems used to filter and scrub air. (Militec-1 is also approved as a weapons, engine, gearbox and bow-thruster lubricant. [see: video and NATO Info.] ).


Thank you and awaiting your technical explanation.
regards,
Enoch

chlorate esters

Hi enoch, I don't have the background of Bruce who is a tribologist, but I think this is your answer.

The main question is why do you want to add something to a fully formulated engine oil ?
What do you hope to gain ?

cheers.

There are a lot of chloronated additives the most common is parrafin BUT ther are other so it maynot have any chlor parrifin but it could be ester, fatty acid, fat etc.

Generally chloro anything will over time release HCL or acids which will tend to
use up or react with additives that are in oils
to offer rust or corrosion protection.

As such a chlor additve WILL normally reduce wear rates but over time without a routine oil change interval you risk corrosion in areas where condenstaion occurs.

If you use this additive change oil regulary
and you should be OK

Dear Mr. Bruce and Rick,
Thank you for your kind explanation, about the Militec-1 i only read this additive get many approved from US NAVY, etc. Like i said before i'm new in this forum, that's why i asked to all of you.
Once again thanks.
enoch

Dear Mr. Bruce,
Would you please send me by email your Company Profile?
thanks and regards,

I have been told by a competator to Militec that it is a chlorinated alpha olefin.

Militec-1 didn't do anything for my engine except make it louder.
