Question 1

What is Uniglide?

Accepted Answer

Uniglide is a lubricant-enhancing metal treatment oil concentrate. Uniglide is designed speciﬁcally to protect and extend the useful life of engines, mechanical systems and tools used across all industries including Agriculture, Automotive, Civil & Construction, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Marine and others.
 
The Uniglide journey began with its base product, Uniglide Friction Reducing Concentrate (FRC), a key ingredient in every Uniglide range of products. It was developed in South Africa to protect mining and construction equipment against the harsh, hot and dusty environment.

Question 2

What is Uniglide FRC?

Accepted Answer

FRC is short for Friction Reducing Concentrate (FRC). Uniglide FRC is a revolutionary technology - a game-changer - that effectively treats all things mechanical to extend equipment life, deliver optimum performance, and increase the efficiency of any machinery treated.
 
Uniglide range of lubricants for all things mechanical meet and surpass the performance capabilities of the majority of currently available products on the market.

Question 3

What is the primary function of Uniglide?

Accepted Answer

The primary function of Uniglide FRC is to reduce the coefficient of friction between metal surfaces. by reducing friction, by reducing friction, the resulting effect is reduced heat generation, reduced wear, which then extends the expected lifespan of the treated equipment.
 
In short, Unglide is an anti-ageing treatment for engines, machines and equipment. Although it is added to the career oil, Uniglide is not an 'oil additive'. Uniglide FRC treats metals, not oil!

Question 4

What is the main benefit of using Uniglide FRC in equipment?

Accepted Answer

In addition to reducing friction, Uniglide FRC also has anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion, anti-foaming, dirt-ingestion and 'flushing' properties. These all assist in increasing the operational efficiency of the treated equipment

Question 5

How does Uniglide work?

Accepted Answer

Uniglide FRC helps prevent metal-to-metal contact by forming a boundary lubrication coat on metal surfaces, thus significantly reducing friction, heat generation and wear. This significantly increases, improves, and extends the operating capabilities of mechanical systems. This resilient boundary lubrication coat remains in place even after all the host oil has drained into the sump when shut down, ensuring continued protection against cold start wear.

Question 6

Where is Uniglide used?

Accepted Answer

As its name suggests, Uniglide truly is universal that can be used across all industries and virtually in every mechanical application requiring lubrication. It was developed in South Africa to protect mining and construction equipment against the harsh, hot and dusty environment.

Uniglide is now used throughout the world beyond mining and construction. This includes domestic and high-performance cars, marine, agriculture, manufacturing, military and everything in between, Uniglide continues to excel and exceed expectations.

Question 7

What part of the mechanical systems/engines/equipment is Uniglide used for?

Accepted Answer

Uniglide has been used to address numerous issues and symptoms faced by users in their engines (including transmissions and gearboxes), differentials, outboard motors, recreation vehicles, generators and hydraulic systems.

Question 8

Uniglide FRC and the environment:

Accepted Answer

At its core, Uniglide FRC is a Friction Reducing Concentrate that makes your engine, equipment and mechanical systems work more efﬁciently. A more efﬁcient engine and transmissions leads to enhanced power delivery which, in turn, can enhance fuel economy which could reduce exhaust emissions. Potentially, this leads to less carbon exhaust emissions, reducing carbon footprint.

With the increased awareness of the environmental impact on air quality, fleet operators have the potential to lower emissions with this very cost-effective solution.
