Alaco, if your product contains chlorine it will not be met with acceptance. You have so far avoided answering that question, so all we can assume is it does contain halogenated compounds as evidenced by the high density of the product.

Passing a corrosion test does not prove anything other than it passes the corrosion test under the conditions it was run at. If you run the test at a slightly higher temperature it could fail quickly. Carbon - halogen bonds tend to be stable at a certain temperature, but raising the temperature 10 degrees C could result in rapid decomposition and metal attack. Lab tests are useful for comparison between different products, but usually don't reflect real life operating conditions. In many cases these lab tests were developed to explain the mechanism for field failures. The conditions were set to differentiate betweent he problem material and the material that fixed the problem.

Any potential compromise to long term durability will negate any short term benefits from friction modification.
