XADO – TECHNOLOGY modifies friction surfaces. This is a brand-new,environmentally friendly, energy saving technology for the equipment maintenance and repairScientific research InstituteChin Huan UniversityStaff memberLyu Dzja Sjun
In the whole world no less than 1/3 of all produced energy is wasted to reduce friction.About 2% of the national economy GDP is lost because of friction.
Ways to reduce friction losses: • Creation of new wear-resistant materials • Changing of operating conditions of the friction surfaces by using special additives to lubricants • Using new types of top quality lubricants
XADO – technology has triple effect:lubricating,restoring and surface modification. Today this technology is the most effective way to reduce friction.Very efficient way to save energy and resources. The most simple and economical way to harden the surface.

Traditional greases do not have restoring properties • In recent years the researchers added to the grease solid grains of such chemical elements as: Cu, Ag,TiO2, SiO2,as well as diamonds. In this case forming of the continuous layer on the friction surfaces did not occur.
