Boron CLS Bond ® Prevents Friction, Reduces Wear and Corrosion

"Boron CLS Bond ®" is the ingredient which makes LuBoron™ unique. The chemistry is more involved, but in short the process occurs because the boric acid reacts with the metal surfaces in the presence of water vapor and oxygen forming boric oxide. The boric oxide attaches itself via ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds to virtually any metal surface and creates multiple platelet layers of boric acid on top. The boric oxide surface also prevents oxidation. These bonds are so strong that pre-existing dirt, rust and carbon varnishes are displaced. The bottom layer of boric oxide is bonded to the metal substrate with a crystal lattice structure. The upper level boric acid platelets slide over each other almost effortlessly much like a deck of playing cards. These virtually indestructible bonds literally change the metal surface's characteristics and create a self-healing friction barrier. This friction barrier is nearly permanent for the life of the metal treated and has hardness equal to 85% of a diamond.

This is a somewhat simplified version of the very complex chemistry involved in the LuBoron™ products.

Boron CLS Bond ® is patented and there is no comparable substance in the field of lubricants.
