ELASTOIL oil additive technology has been almost twenty years in development. In the early 1980's a polymer was produced that new materials and products could be made using its viscoelastic technology. Early on it was clear the material had important commercial value. The material was an easily dissolved ultra high molecular weight polymer powder. The polymer is pure enough to be in the Food Chemicals Codex as an ingredient in food products and so simple in structure that it can be used in any petroleum product without fear of causing engine deposits. Functionally, it has two commercially important properties, viscoelasticity, and reptation. Viscoelastic liquids increase in viscosity as they are elongated or stretched. This property has great commercial value in controlling liquid behavior in a dynamic state. For example, controlling droplet formation, vaporization, splash or fling control and reptation. In lubrication applications, this phenomenon can increase the lubricity of the oil and reduce fluid drag in lines including pipelines. In the cylinder of an engine, a Viscoelastic oil improves the lubrication and coats the surfaces of the cylinder by penetrating the surfaces. Reptation is the snake like movement of polymer molecules by which they penetrate any opening larger than their own diameter. This property has important commercial value in lubricants and coatings. For example, a ELASTOIL liquid can be made to penetrate like a low viscosity fluid, and to tenaciously bond to a surface. As time passes you will see on more and more products which combine superior performance with environmental sensitivity.
